This morning, I woke up sad. Guilty to express it because it isn’t the worst thing the plague has brought, but—I’m longing to hug my friends. I just want to sit next to three or four of those dear to me with tea and cry if we need to, and hold each other.

Opening up to the idea that borders might be closed for a looong time. Flights discouraged for even longer. When might I get to hug my parents again? Or my friends in Canada?

I put this on this morning and the tears snuck up on me. Yeah it's a "love song", but it's also a song about loving singing together. Feels like it fits. This one goes out for you Freyjahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi5A9OCAyIk …

That—was so incredible. I’m crying too. Their love for Emmylou and getting to perform it for her was so palpable.

When I was a kid I used to say I liked all music except for country and rap—and today all I’ve listened to is country and
@Malcolm_Ocean’s rap. And I love both.3 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -

Yup! I can rap the entirety of Hamilton, including
@DaveedDiggs' Lafayette & Jefferson parts at full speed
This is the rap @utotranslucence was probably referring to. Less impressive technically, just me vibin.https://twitter.com/Malcolm_Ocean/status/1254597261818048513 …Malcolm 🌎cean added,
Malcolm 🌎cean @Malcolm_OceanSometimes a track comes on (Fragile Memories by@olegmokhov) & I can't help freestyling. Managed to start a recorder this time! Inspired by many things that've been on my mind lately—some deep questions. Audio quality is... workable

I'm reflecting that I think the only lines I had to actually slow down & practice to learn were: I'm in the cabinet, I am complicit in watching him grabbin' at power and kiss it if Washington isn't gon' listen to disciplined dissidents, this is the difference This kid is out!

a lot of people in the cabinet of the executive branch of the United States Government have been complicit in war crimes; acts of commission and so many acts of ommission which are not statutory crimes, but are crimes against conscience.
