From today’s covid vaccine post and I am honestly wondering what music – for the love of the baby Jesus – this person heard. It’s not like my lyrics are … whatever. I give up.
AAF can’t stop won’t stop thinking about these amazing embroidered shirts by @tinypricksproject ! The best part: they’re going to be auctioned off to benefit abortion access!

1977. Me and my mom, Kathy, at her mom and dad’s house right before my 1st birthday.
With our hair up, we’re doppelgängers.
No idea how she was keeping it together and looking so serene in this photo.
She had a baby (me) and a 5 year old (my older sister) and she was on the brink of getting divorced from my dad (Jack).
After the last few years of my own life navigating divorce and a small kid, I’m starting to slowly understand so much more.
I love you, mom. A ton.
Love you too, dad.
To every parent, especially the solo, widowed and divorcing ones: you’re doing a great job. It’s a mess.
Just keep going.
What a ride.
♥️💐♥️
You know something? I sorta miss the good old 2020 days of posting shit like “I got a covid vaccine shot” and that being what people would yell at each other about all day.
Hey everybody I got a covid vaccine shot
**awaits crickets, possibility of comments telling me to get my head out of my ass and to focus on other issues**
I still don’t want to get or give covid to anybody
**ducks**
Ciao for now
Guilty on all counts.
It gives a woman hope.
It wasn’t me who chose the lyric, but “I’d like to do more than survive, I’d like to rub it in your face” for a quote to be embroidered on a shirt to raise funds for Abortion Access Front (@abortionfront) seems very logical. I am HONORED AF to be joining forces with @sarahkatesilverman, @jamieleecurtis, @margaret_cho, @stevienicks, @sandragbernhard, @nekocaseofficial, @busyphilipps and more to raise funds for this critical cause. All of us provided a quote, the quote was embroidered onto a vintage shirt, and all the shirts are up for auction. The auction closes May 16th so go FAST and bid. Your dollars will towards the endless battle to make sure people can access safe and legal abortion in our country. It’s getting more and more important every day. Dig deep and bid high. If you win this shirt and bring it to a show I promise I will personally also make it out to you and draw a dick on it if you want. Link to the auction in stories and in the @abortionfront feed.
Thanks to @mwmccomiskey for taking the shots of me and to @lizzwinstead for putting this epic idea together. GO BID.

It’s a tragedy and it’s a mess.
Kids burning, their youth extinguished in the darkest acts of humanity, horrifyingly echoing the halls of Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau…and meanwhile, here in America: we have lost the conversational plot. We don’t know how to be. We don’t know how to deal with conflict. We don’t know how to have painful and nuanced war discussions without ghosting, punishing and canceling one another. We are losing our minds.
I was talking to a local mom friend yesterday, she has a 2 and 7 year old. She told me that her neighborhood – in our little hamlet in upstate New York – is socially falling apart because of simple posts like this.
She said: I don’t know anymore. This neighbor and that neighbor are no longer speaking; this parent is telling this child never to speak to that child; this house has cancelled that house.
I imagine the past. Again and again I find myself coming back to my German studies degree and seeing shades upon shades of 1932. The conditions that gave rise to the unimaginable.
Wie geht’s weiter? What would you do? 🎹
I haven’t been posting relentlessly about this situation; I find myself thinking I can add more to the world by creating art, sharing feelings, making space for others to cry, to laugh, to sing. I don’t know. I know there’s no easy answer. I know my heart hurts.
I call upon you, as you comment, to speak to me and to one other with compassion and mercy.
Reposted from @unicef:
We repeat.
A military besiegement and ground incursion in Rafah, Gaza, poses a catastrophic risk to the children sheltering there.
Many of the children cramped in Rafah have been displaced multiple times and have lost homes, parents and loved ones. Thousands are injured, malnourished, traumatized or living with disabilities.
They must be protected, along with the few remaining basic services and infrastructure they need to survive.
For over seven months, we’ve witnessed this tragedy unfolding, resulting in thousands of children killed or injured.
UNICEF continues to call for an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages and an end to the senseless killing of children.
Just fuckin love you all so much. ♥️
Next week’s @newyorkermag cover. I am real proud to be neighbors with the artist, @johncuneo3, who has a master art mind. GOOD ONE CUNEO. So many levels 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
🎉♥️💃🌈🎹🎉

Calling all Amanda Palmer @amandapalmer fans! She and I will sign/discuss my book, She’s a Badass: Women in Rock Shaping Feminism at Graveside Variety in Woodstock, NY this Saturday (May 18) at 1:00 p.m. She’s one of the amazing women I profile in the book, so I’m thrilled to do this with her! Click link in bio for more details and to get tickets.
She’s a Badass contains 20 chapters, each focusing on a fantastic female musician. Their stories reveal the incredible talent, determination – and, often, humor – that they needed in order to succeed.
The interviewees are Suzi Quatro, Ann Wilson (Heart), Exene Cervenka (X), Gina Schock (The Go-Go’s), Lydia Lunch, Suzanne Vega, Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Joan Osborne, Donita Sparks (L7), Amy Ray (The Indigo Girls), Tanya Donelly (Throwing Muses / The Breeders / Belly), Paula Cole, Tobi Vail (Bikini Kill), Laura Veirs, Catherine Popper, Amanda Palmer, Bonnie Bloomgarden (Death Valley Girls), Orianthi, Fefe Dobson, and Sade Sanchez (L.A. Witch).
Susan Rogers, who was the longtime in-house recording engineer for Prince, wrote a wonderful Afterword.
It is published by Backbeat Books, with endorsement blurbs from Marianne Faithfull, Ani DiFranco, and many more!
