in Dec, Ann & i decided to end our 20yr marriage. i haven’t been at liberty to reveal this publicly until now. heartbreakingly difficult decision & subsequent process (ongoing), but what we both need. channeling our love into support for each other’s independent thriving.
peace.

Came here to say: lately I’ve been getting choked up every time new song parts flow thru my hands/face. Like a deeper connection to the good & transcendent is being made, nameless as it may be. Very much the relief I so badly need.

having been programmed from birth to believe that love of self and love of “this” world are the most dangerous and corrupting of sins, i have to confess:
i love earth, scandalously, with every fiber of my being.
and i’m learning to not feel shame about loving myself.
grow on.

It’s easier to understand some christians’ lack of compassion for these kids when u remember how many of them believe their own Heavenly Father has cast billions of His kids into eternal torment for being on the wrong side of an idea. Maybe when yr god is cruel, u tend to b 2?

Judging from early reviews & listener feedback to “Phoenix”, it feels like y’all are truly understanding the record i hoped we were making.
To share such vulnerable feelings & be heard & understood is so powerful.

even with all of the wonderful people on this website, visiting twitter almost always brings me down. surely that says more about me than anything else (and my approach and my feed), but i can’t deny the phenomenon.

looters are not the problem.
white supremacy is the problem. any energy spent lamenting looting is victim blaming. whites are the aggressors. end white supremacy and police lynching black folks and *voila* no more looting.
“but that’ll be harder to do if *they* keep looting.”

trying to remember what my inner life was like before i was colonized by the bad news of christianity. i was 3. i can recall being disappointed at the “smallness” of what i was hearing, but i was already very lonely & my folks insisted & i couldn’t resist.

Fwiw, yesterday was the first “non-sick” day that I didn’t smoke, vape, or eat weed at all in a couple years. Not tryin to quit, but smoking all day, everyday wasn’t the healthiest for me.
Grateful for weed, it helped me get off booze (I had a big problem). Still finding balance

a word to my fellow depressives: elliott smith’s from a basement on a hill is one of my all time fave records but, more than any other LP, it can genuinely have a negative effect on my mental health if i don’t listen to it with care.
