Re-upping my Substack review on AOR with a mention of Donnie Iris and to honor one of the first real music concerts I attended (SRO!) when he opened for Hall & Oates on the Private Eyes tour.

For decades a mill supplying large U.S. tissue companies has severely polluted rivers around Grassy Narrows in Canada’s boreal region, causing lasting health impacts and widespread harm to Indigenous Peoples, with no end in sight. This is unconscionable. https://on.nrdc.org/3VQgUXw

Lucy Harrison from Awel Aman Tawe, (a community energy charity) speaks of the overwhelming reasons why Port Talbot should be the #UKCityofCulture in 2028. 🧡 I'm sure @nptcouncil.bsky.social would agree 👍

My friend (and fellow former Q Magazine writer) Dominic Utton has a fantastic UK website dedicated to meaningful music merch. Stop by and give it a look. As it says, believe in what you wear!

"The steelworks, the collieries of the Afan Valley, and the Port. Our town is full of landmarks and each one tells a unique story of our history and culture." Join Stephen Kinnock MP in a bid to make Port Talbot the UK City of Culture in 2028.

An underrated trauma recovery hack is to keep a promise to yourself every day, something small. Recovery is largely about rebuilding that relationship w/ ourselves, & realistic self-trust accretes & compounds, day by day.

There's no need to fear...UNDERDOG is back in the Macy's Parade for the first time in 40+ years! Universal is spending $ on this, so I hope it means we'll see the character in something new soon in the US. (There's already an animated reboot in Europe). abc7ny.com/post/2026-ma... #TVSky #animation

"Last month, the EPA quietly changed wording on its website that claimed Pfoa and Pfos had been phased out. In fact, both have been produced in the US this whole time, and at levels that independent science suggest are quite high." #PFAs

Meta has sabatoged Instagram account for No Kings

Oh, you all thought that Michael Sheen was just making an honest observation on those statue parts on #CelebrityTraitors, and I'm here to say 😮‍💨 😆

Another school shooting in America today. It doesn't have to be this way.

My good friend Dave Herlihy who can make some good trouble and good music iykyk, is playing at The Burren in Somerville, MA tonite to celebrate his release 'now.' If you're in the Boston area, please support. You can hear his song Blue Sky on WERS. #SupportLocalMusic

I love writing about all the different aspects of love. My Love Songs playlist on Spotify brings together some of those songs. I hope you enjoy listening. tinyurl.com/5d2wex9k
