Mind-blowing 1970s Palestinian field recordings from the mighty Mo’min Swaitat's Majaaz Project (majazzproject.com): Atef Swaitat & Abu Ali, Palestinian Bedouin Psychedelic Dabka Archive (2025). Played a FLAC on my show in Sept, but 1st vinyl listen, picked up today @ Ergot

One of the most straightforward, radical, life affirming actions you can take right now is wearing a K/N95 mask. Community care & self care rolled into one easy act. Show up for yourself and your neighbors.

honor Leslie and Alice's lifework and memory by wearing a goddamn mask. if you have easy access to respirators, it's the least you can do. if you don't, PLEASE check maskbloc.org to see if there are any mask blocs in your area. mask blocs provide masks, other PPE, tests etc to their communities for free. if you scroll down my beacon link in bio thru the bottom half of my covid resources, there are several types & brands of masks at different price points. if you're able to give some of your masks away, please do. hand them out in public. give them to your family, friends, coworkers, loved ones. fucking do something.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collective survival. She named the connective tissue that holds us together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast & often.

I challenge any politician to try running with this as part of their platform. Here, you can even use this Mamdani campaign style graphic ⬇️

We talk a lot about the profound avant- punk brilliance of Minutemen but today I am admiring the utter perfection of the Double Nickels album art. Incredibly good shit.

The temporary ‘inconvenience’ of wearing a mask should be closely weighed against the seemingly permanent ‘nuisance’ of losing everything you have while laying riddled with illness, helplessly bound to a bed that has become your prison.

It’s not too late to wear a mask. It’s not too late to protect your health. It’s not too late to show you care about the health of those around you. It’s not too late to do your part to make public spaces inclusive & accessible. It’s radical kindness & community care.
