We're alive right now, what a weird weird weird weird thing. You will be glad to know that I’m feeling pretty sane, most of the time. I really do like living in 2024. As a lot of what we thought of as `reality' crumbles, we're invited to ask the question 'what is real' all the dang time, and I enjoy that question. Real stuff, authentic stuff, verifiable stuff is the BEST, almost always, and authentic stuff is becoming more and more popular. For example, one of the highlights of my life is Asheville FM, where I'm a DJ on Wednesdays. Asheville FM is small, and it is real. I can personally vouch for the fact that not one DJ is a computer. Getting news and music from human beings who are deciding things on the spot is great art, and it's a priveledge to have access to it. (Asheville! You have a great radio station! It's at 103.3) But it takes a lot of people to run it - there are something like 70 DJs, which is why we gotta do this funddrive again and again. So I'm asking you, and also reassuring you that as this is a genuinely small nonprofit, run by a bunch of artists and activists who are uncomfortable asking for money, so you can give a little bit without worrying about being nagged incessantly forever. Supporting this radio station means supporting my art that I work hard on, and it also allows me to give a space to lot of other artists where their work can be displayed (heard). Also, imho, your support for AshevilleFm also means supporting the new future, of small things, and verifiable people. A new future of humans! This link attached is my own little fundraiser-within-a-fundraiser, and it always gives me some stress, so I would love it so much if you could get behind it a little.

Due to factors outside of my control, like algorithms and politics and neuroses (that last one is maybe inside of my control), I only look at Facebook occasionally these days, and when I do I’m always like, oh wow, my profile picture is so upsetting. We’re driving to Connecticut today, so I took the opportunity to take a lot of pictures of myself as new possible contenders (I’m not the one driving, don’t worry). You may cast your vote. I’ll never see comments, due to aforementioned neuroses, but please, discuss amongst yourselves, and maybe John will check back for me. It is, as ever, pretty interesting to be me! I’m 51 now, and thus officially done with my obligation to be ‘attractive’ (— which was never my obligation, as it turns out. Young people today know that, but I never clued in: My 1980s brain always considered attractiveness to be, if not my part-time job, at least something that I had to appear to be appearing to think about a lot.) But now guess what? Done with that. ✔️ (The question ‘now what’ sort of lingers in the air but let’s just let it linger for the time being.) Anyway here’s my point: if you’ve read this far, and looked at my pictures, then you probably know me, or at least you know who I am (hell yeah to having a stripper name! I have always been improbably popular on Facebook). And, if you know/think you might know/want to know me, can you please support my Asheville fm fundraiser, because, for lord’s sake I just want those other DJs to think I’m cool like they are. Asheville FM has given me a virtual home on Wednesdays from 2-4 for coming up on two years now: The Leviathan radio show serves the needs of my underground rock musician friends very well, while simultaneously baffling my yoga friends and mildly upsetting my friend-friends. Whichever of these groups that you fall into, please donate. (If you are a hardcore right-winger, I’m glad to know you, but you should never listen to that station and you can go back to gazing at my newest art piece ‘Portraits 1-9. ‘)The rest of you: 103.3, or Ashevillefm.org, depending on how far out of range you are, has some intimidatingly excellent music shows, and a lot of talk shows that range from the mildly to the extremely progressive. I mostly listen to the music shows, but do whatever you want. The main thing about it is, it’s ALL non-corporate, unedited, non-algorithmic content, which is not only an interesting but a really rare thing. If you like art, you should support it. If you worry about corporate media, or AI, or trends towards non-humanization in general, this is also a good thing for you to support. In the past three years I have set down a lot of the heavy bu****it that I’ve been carrying for a bunch of years (see above) and this I believe has given me a lot of clarity about culture and about art. I think that Asheville FM is a shiny little diamond in this huge and increasingly polluted media world. Please support. Here’s the link. Thank you. And also, I’m interested in which profile picture you think I should use, kind of. I don’t know, you might have to cut and paste this link. Do it
