“Operatic, tempestuous, and impassioned. Brimming with power and emotion. The aural equivalent of exorcising a past lover (with the help of a massive string section). AOTY.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

“So even if you’re not ready to retire your ‘so much for global warming’ bit for a few more winters, at the very least, we all have to be ready to agree on no longer wanting to be a pushover minion for the extremely wealthy. We need to stop arguing amongst each other on their behalf. Against our own interests.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SWAY WILD
“Pay more attention to birds. Birds are gateways to presence and presence is happiness.”
