My dad was tortured by the Gestapo for 4 days and thrown in a concentration camp for being in the Norwegian Resistance. Growing up, he would tell me things he learned in the Resistance. I thought, I'm never going to need this stuff. Here's some of those things #Thread

It's been a VERY long time coming, but I finally took that Drunken Sailor variation I arranged and hastily recorded, and have uploaded it online.
Very rough around the edges, and I plan on redoing it after a few other music projects, but please enjoy!

I have been so greatly enjoying Dressmaker streams that I want to play the game myself. In a world of asset swap 1st person wage slave simulator slop games, be a Dressmaker.

We have bills that still need to be paid such as rent, utility bills, and the debt relief. Any help is always appreciated and if you can spread the word, that helps too.
In the process of finding a legal representative for my next appeal. Wish me luck.

Friendly reminder that Gavin Newsom threw lavish super-parties at his mansion while the rest of us were in lockdown, and many other issues. He's always sucked.
The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back

Next bill is my car insurance ($61). Due on the 15th. Just another one of those bills I gotta pay you know. Any help is appreciated.
As I'm in the process of getting another appeal and a representative to help me (which will cost fees in the future), I'm still in need of help for bills.
Any donations are always appreciated and I'll keep updating. Thank you for your help.

I need to write two poems in the next week. Let's figure this out with the jankiest stream I've ever done. More jank setup than my piano streams. Starting after I've had dinner, some time after 8 PM Eastern / 7 Central / 5 Pacific times!

This man is wholly unqualified for the job. Call your representatives this week and politely tell their staff that Jeffries should not be in House leadership.
Jeffries stop short of committing to holding a vote to abolish ICE is he's House Speaker next January, but says he's "committed to dramatically reforming ICE ... the masks should come off, body cameras should come on, judicial warrants should be required."
