I’m in some benzo recovery communities & ppl used to bring him up on occasion as an inspiration for how to recover. But I haven’t seen anything kind about him in those spaces for at least a year. Phew.
On this day — Stevie Nicks performed "Stand Back" live on Solid Gold March 23, 1984.
We live in the largest, most complex, most dynamic global human system that has ever existed
It can be easy to extrapolate a single frame of that system infinitely, and doing so, trap ourselves in despair
But things are constantly in motion. Moves create countermoves
Something big is underway
not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.
"daddy, what did you do in the war"
son, i archived all 6,793 videos from the Kennedy Center before they disappeared from the internet
we all did our part
say what you will about the ultra rich of 150 years ago, at least they built libraries and roads

Mick and Lindsey, together again!
I'm part of the "X-Files shipper as a teen to handwringing over what the FBI should be doing in 2025" pipeline.
Just fucking do it!
There are so many good people who should be alive right now and then there's these two fucks.
Excellent idea!
some of you are still reading with all the joy and enthusiasm of a child who’s been offered a personal pan pizza, and if it were in my power, I would give you that pizza.
Did the vibe check on the conservative subreddit today and the folks there are baffled about the tariffs and antagonizing Canada.
My most important message today:
YOU MUST OUTLIVE THEM!
Do not give in to despair.
Do not let them control you to the extent that you give up.
You are important
You are valuable
You matter
I gave that asshole way too much of my health and my happiness and I am NOT doing it again.
I'll enjoy my fandoms and writing and music and sports. And find ways to resist w/o destroying myself.
oh I LOVE this one!
I saw a post on here that was someone wondering how anyone could care about the Super Bowl or the Oscars right now.
And, coming from someone who made herself quite literally ill w/ anxiety in the 45 era, I promise you that you need more than just politics and dread!
I've watched it 10 times now and it is still GREAT and like THE most Stevie thing that ever happened
(whispers)
I do this every month
@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendy’s Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point
Same w/ a lot of the Xitter posters who post cable news clips. Like, hardly ANYONE in comments is trying to defend the "DEI caused the airline crash" beyond the press secretary herself.
Maybe by tomorrow there will be some line they're all parroting. Idk.
Look, maybe it's too soon to be declaring a vibe shift, but there used to be MAGA folks crawling around all the posts on r/news and now there just ... aren't. Or there might be one, and they get very quickly shouted down.
Yup! People could easily find a 30-year-old musician to stan, but I think it's more that they're mad that they themselves aren't 30 anymore.
Stevie Nicks on stage
Stevie at Fire Aid last night!
It was good! I think Landslide and Edge were better than Stand Back, but she looked and sounded fab and I think some people just don't want to see older women in the spotlight.
"And the sad thing was, these were two people who were madly in love for years and still were, I think. As I do now, in fact." - Ken Caillat, 2007
Me at the start of 2024: We're all gonna be great
Me at the end of 2024: What the Jesus fuck was that?
this person is about to experience many happy(?) hours of watching grainy old tour videos and crying
Stevie Nicks singing and dancing
she’s a triple threat
