Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted. To join me in standing up for the freedom to read, go to pen.org/action. @penamerica.bsky.social @topshelfcomix.bsky.social @idwpublishing.com
Finally we're seeing some summertime new music! And some of it is pretty surprising ... like songs from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack.
It did indeed!!
I grew up in small conservative towns, yet I literally never heard of the Rapture until I was 21 and saw it referenced on a bumper sticker that I didn’t understand.
The pop charts sure are slow these days. Where's all the great new summer music?
At St. Paul’s, Bellingham, WA we used Tinycat.
I find it extremely telling that three of the most popular songs in the U.S. right now are called "Anxiety" (how we all feel), "Ordinary" (what we all long for), and "Manchild" (the presenting problem).
I was later corrected on that last point, but I guess you had to dig for it.
No, there are definitely multiple songs with the same title!
Over 10 million Americans marched in the streets yesterday: more than 3% of the entire population. Fox News didn’t report on it.
“Just doing our jobs” - every Nazi after 1945
It seems to be a common sentiment!
Doechii digs in at #1 for a third week ... Sombr demonstrates more and more pop cred ... and Morgan Wallen & Tate McRae really want that 'song of the summer' crown.

It’s Memorial Day weekend — summer is here, and all the flashback playlists are now updated. Enjoy! #at40 #popmusic #popradio
Sombr bursts into the top 50 at #29, and Rihanna surprises everyone with a new release at #38 that's taking off in all the main radio formats. Plus, Morgan Wallen dropped a new double album a week ago ... and now it's everywhere. popmusicanthology.com/pop-airplay-... #Radio #Top40 #Pop #NewMusic
If you haven't added Ravyn Lenae, you need to. Also ... will pop radio take a pass on Lorde's new single in favor of a 12-year-old album cut with nearly 800 million Spotify streams? #Radio #Top40 #Pop #NewMusic
"Anxiety" hits #1 in overall airplay. Maroon 5 & LISA launch big at #22. Jessie Murph's "Blue Strips" is new and active. Sombr begins to cross over to pop with "Undressed."

You can’t make heroes look foolish just by saying they look foolish. You can’t comprehend bravery when you won’t even accept accountability.
Hands off!
Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.
Wealth doesn’t trickle down, but poverty does.
I’m talking about the easy, unthinking anti-Semitism that this use of the term perpetuates.
Thank you, good sir! Now hand off that energy to a colleague to help keep the heat on these fascists.
