Watching the American Analog Set perform in San Francisco sent me down a rabbit hole of happy memories. So I recorded this short video about the joy of sharing art with friends and why that still matters in an age of algorithmic curation.

The Joy Of Sharing Fireworks: a rant about The American Analog Set and the importance of sharing experiences

Utterly enchanting way to wrap up the weekend and #NoisePop with #NailahHunter delivering a killer set at #GrayArea here in #SanFrancisco. A little extra backing elements here and there, otherwise it was harp, vocals and some pedal treatments. Plus, a totally unexpected and wonderful set closer with a cover of #TheCure, “Just Like Heaven.” Don’t sleep on her! https://nailahhunter.bandcamp.com/album/lovegaze

Excited to be participating in Gray Area’s first Open Metaverse cohort exhibition! I’ll be performing my original #storytelling piece “Rojo Manana”, a comedic exploration of language, assimilation, and cultural acceptance. (Look close to see a little Mycana swinging at a piñata 🪅) #vr #vrwriter #vrperformance #xr #grayarea

I listened to a really interesting podcast discussion about the need to help boys and men. The premise is that efforts to help achieve greater equality for women and girls has been fairly successful.

One of the consequences of this is that boys find themselves struggling in relation to girls who seem to be better adapted to our education systems, and men find that their roles have changed.
