Hold Fast – instrumental

I wrote this while the mob occupied the Capitol building on the 6th and recorded it the next day so forgive the jammin’ roughies. Also the diminuendo is me, not a volume knob, so I’m quite taken with that.

Hold fast to the open society, we may not climb out of the next fascist hole as easily as we did with the fucking Nazis.

Look what kids we’re raising in Alberta.

A fine revolutionist

The reason I like Pyotr Kropotkin is because he started rich and made common cause with the poor; he was kind; he was a scientist; he didn’t believe that nature was evil.

Also, he wrote the article on anarchism for the Encyclopaedia Britannica, which I found hilarious when I learned it from the lovely and talented John Caspell. It’s possible that you, mOm and pOp have an edition with his writings.

20000 people came out to his funeral.

 

 

arise ye prisoners of doomscrolling

Did a small shop and made borscht. Paul came by with some of John’s filk books, and best of all was Peter Alway’s Introduction to Mountain Dulcimer so I now have a picture of one of my filk friends on a pamphlet about an instrument I own. I’m going to review it again today with the instrument in hand.

Chuck Norris was at the insurrection event in Washington. What a cruel and grasping individual.

Maudlin Monday – Beedogs

There used to be a site called Bee Dogs. It’s been archived somewhere, but if you’re looking for something to cheer you up (except for the poor dorgles who’ve been stung, sigh) google beedogs images and enjoy the thousands of beedog costumes people have stuffed their canine companions into over the last thirty years!!!!

Now think about how most of those dogs are dead. Christ I’m an asshole. Crying yet?

Lax that’s me

I did absolutely as little as possible yesterday. I did not help with the move, I did about 500 words on the current UPSUN chapter, I put clean laundry back in my room, I made really runny rice pudding the way Jeff prefers it, I wrote a blistering email to a family member which I sent to a friend instead, I did not practice, I did not get dressed, I booked my next recording session on the 1st next month, ever supposing that Brutal Asshole currently pres of the US doesn’t nuke Vancouver for taking the sign off the Tr&mp tower in Downtown.

Today I’m going to make a list and review my habit schedule, I can feel my good habits slipping away from me in the doomscrolling carnage subsequent to the coup attempt. I’m also hoping to convince Jeff to go shopping.

Protests in front of various high tech office headquarters by MAGAts are expected all this week. The leadup to the inauguration is going to be fireworky, I’m sure.

This image is for mOm, relating to an amusing conversation we had earlier this week.

Clippy, the long despised Word assistant says ‘It looks like you’re trying to fuck around Would you like to find out YES NO

fash demo at the inHOGuration?

TTTO Robin in the Rain.
Kettled in the rain
all the silly fashies
Maced into pain
falling on their ashies
begging all the popo not to be so mean
after all they’re white, although their feet aren’t clean
Kettled in the rain, all the silly fashies
Insurrection makes you gay <—– sarcasm
Bet the popo wish that you had stayed at home
Fashie on a rainy day.

Today, while the blossoms still — hey waitaminute

Today I’m going over to Planet Bachelor to assist with moving activities. I have no idea what form that assistance will take but something must be done. Called Keith last night and he said AFTER LunCH so that’s when I am going.

If Nancy Pelosi wasn’t such an aged and normative coward none of the shit in the US would have happened. Trump took advantage and Pelosi cheerfully let him.

Hey mumma! Tumblr screenshot. @bellezalatina: There’s a dish called “Rosca de Reyes”, it’s a cake with slices of fruit. Inside of it, they place a small baby shaped figure that represents baby Jesus. This year, in Mexico, people were selling the cake with figures of Baby Yoda instead of the baby Jesus. So, conservative groups are extremely upset about it, and are calling it a direct attack to family values and religion. So now, Baby Yoda is considered a LGBT icon for making furious those conservative, homophobic people.

Baby Yoda is messing with EVANGELICALS and CATHOLICS now.

 

YESSSSS
