Something that happens fairly frequently when I talk to conservatives about prison abolition or crime statistics or homelessness is that they'll say something like "well maybe if you were the victim of a crime you'd feel differently" and, buds, not gonna lie, that happening is one of my favorite things.

It's not traumadumping if they bought a front-row ticket to the dump by trying to place you in a rhetorical trap.

Oh look, I'm promoting my album again.

Vinyl/CDs available here!

My first ever full-length album is coming tomorrow, 9/13. It'll be streaming everywhere and I'll have physical copies for sale on my website.

Also, if you're in the Chicago area, I'm doing an album release show at Black Dog Vinyl Cafe in Plainfield, IL tomorrow night at 7:00 pm. I'll be playing the album front to back, followed by a set of old favorites. I'll have vinyl and CDs on hand, too.

I'm proud of this project, and I can't wait for you to hear it.

Lmao he just keeps getting worse

I've found that, a lot of the time, I get a bad vibe off of somebody, but then when I talk to them and learn more about them, I start to see the common ground. They're just a human being trying to get through their life, just like me. Humanization, you know?

Not with this fuckin' guy, though. I didn't like him before and I like him a hell of a lot less the more I've learned about him. What a spineless jagoff.
