@delaneytarr This is not ok. Why do people insist on being like this. I hope you have found some effective mechanisms to shield yourself from this appalling and completely unacceptable behavior.

the super fun part about is that i know this experience firsthand! and so do my peers! I can’t even tell you how many people would simultaneously say they want me dead and they want to f**k me. it’s disgusting and it’s so prevalent.

@bitsnpiecesau @jeffcannata For sure... I just felt this false sense of security being outside the US and in progressive cities. Honestly, felt like 2016 in the US again. Seeing the pro-Trump business owner in Melbourne and the surprising election results, snapped me out. You’re right, it’s everywhere.

@jocelynaspa I feel this on a very deep personal level. I have connections with friends and will always consider them to be good friends, even if I only talk with them a couple times a year! Also, I’ll be in Vancouver again at the end of the month! 👋

@RichLando @verucasalt @charlybliss What luck! You will not be disappointed! I’d love to hear what you think! All four of them are some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met through music. I’m so jealous of people who are seeing them for the first time.

@RichLando @verucasalt @charlybliss My musical tastes are very diverse, so I usually have a few recommendations based on who you like. I rely on music services (Apple, much more than Spotify or Amazon) and Bandsintown to discover new music and who’s playing near me. Often opening bands are pleasant surprises!

@RichLando @verucasalt Their 2nd album, Young Enough, is also amazing if you didn’t check it out... it’s more modern, but so so good! If you’re one for live music. Don’t miss them if they come through your part of the world! I see a lot of shows (and have tons of video), but @charlybliss is my fav!

@RichLando I’ve shared a bunch of video and lead off my pinned tweet with that show in January 2018. A lot of it is buried, I’ve shared some to YouTube, but the vast majority is in my library and I need to find a way to process and distill all that down. So much great concert footage!

@RichLando @verucasalt Lol, speaking of that... I’m currently moving and going through everything I own. This is all that I saved from the west coast part of that tour in 2015. A setlist and a map of the San Diego Zoo! Lol

@RichLando @verucasalt I approve of your listening habits! If you’re looking for something new with a similar sound, check out Charly Bliss. I first saw them when they opened for Veruca Salt on your in 2015 and have been following them since. Guppy is a love letter to 90’s alternative.

@harper I have a more obscure recommendation for you. “Traveling in Space” by Steven Paul Leiva (and the audio book is well done by Jeff Cannata who does many many voices). It’s a comedic take on a first contact story, told from the aliens perspective. It’s really great!

@five15design I support this... and I’d find a way to get my tweets out through other avenues. Not that I tweet much from here anyway

@dryan There’s a ton of acronyms on my day job. The first time I’m talking to people, I use acronyms if they use them properly. If I’m unsure at all, I use the acronym, they briefly say the full name and sometimes a brief description of appropriate. It is super important.
