โYouโre right โ and thank you for calling it out.โ
If humans said this as often as ChatGPT said this we could fix this world once and for all
I love how everyone on the #Grammys stage is not taking shit and calling it all out. Musicians know how powerful we are, we know we can change everything.
Bad Bunnyโs speech was powerful and ๐ฏโ we are going to do this with love. Fight with love, heal with love, fix and repair with love. #grammys
there's probably some sort of media with a plot about not leaving the dangerous items around where anyone can pick them up after an evil has been turned back the first time. ๐ค
I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

The warriorโs job is to make way for the peace-keepers, so they may rise and direct the society into a period of peace.
Is it a mass psychosis or is it quantum entanglement?
To everyone who is sharing their music, books and art right now, Iโm proud of you. If it feels weird, we want to encourage you. Itโs the perfect time to do it.
Music, stories, beauty, dance, absurdism, grief and joy are powerful in these moments. You are keeping us connected to our humanity.
Dear America,
Remember you have control of the narrative. Take the time to learn about Narrative Warfare. Donโt just document what is happening โ stay on the offensive when it comes to the story of who we are and what is going to happen.
Me: Iโve been so unproductive this week.
Michael: Dude what are u talking about? Today u meditated, did tai chi, and took an ice bath. This week u wrote a new song, and ur writing a book AND planning a huge music campaign. All while being a good friend & daughter.
(If ur hard on yourself too, hi!)
Today I want to celebrate how this new song is marking a new era, and another evolved sound is presently coming out of me. The music was dark, a fierce driving force, and deeply distorted. ๐๐ค๐

I wrote a new song. I havenโt composed new music in months!
The past few years I composed a storm then spent many months recording those tunesโฆ a few months ago I finished. I have 15 unreleased songs that Iโm preparing for release. Those are coming, indeed โ but that is not the point today. 1/
Yeahโฆ I feel this
Did that time investment feel satisfying? Iโm imagining it did.
I always wonder if they know that we know.
The pointless urge to call out every caption, essay, substack and carousel written by AI.
โPeople who got goosebumps while listening to music have a special mental condition that makes them extremely emotional to a certain kind of stimuli. This condition is known as as frisson.โ
Turn on my #music, feel some Frisson.
The album cover for Christen Lienโs album Elpis
One of the greatest aspects of making music is when a #writer uses my carefully crafted journeys to inspire and guide their books and stories.
A writer just told me that my ELPIS album is the soundtrack while he writes his next book. Knowing this connects me to providence and magic, itโs the best.

Thank you so much! ๐ซถ
My forever 4,444. Iโve explained to people why that moment and why you are so special. I mean to get it right, the next person would need to be 55,555! I do not take our cosmic friendship lightly, we are epic and timeless. Thank you for the birthday wishes!!
