It’s really not fair. The kids come home for winter break, they teach us all these fun games, and then they just leave! There should be a better system. Does anyone play Catan? Ca...

Happy Ash Wed, Nields, fans! We're heading to Passim in Cambridge with High Tea on Saturday Feb. 28, then to NYC at City Vineyard on Sat. March 7. Finally landing with @Wheelzielives at 118 North in Wayne, PA. See you at the shows!
One of my 30 Poems for 30 Poems in November. This is a pantoum, a form in which you repeat the second and fourth lines of each four-line stanza. It has a kind of...numbing effect? Crazy-making effect? So I wrote about the years on the road, of course. Donate here: cnam.org/civi/pcp/inf...
This is a song by the Big Idea, (fictional band from Nerissa's novels). Remember This Moment was written by Peter and Rhodie Becket upon their reunion after being separated for over 16 months. To hear the full band, you'll have to wait for The Big Idea Soundtrack.
What an absolute joy to play with High Tea at Passim on Saturday night to a sold-out crowd! Finding joy and resistance wherever we can.
Why do guitars crack in the winter, or THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MOISTURE IN MASSACHUSETTS FOR THIS PRINCESS OF A GUITAR!!! Also, A couple of spots have opened in my Wednesday afternoon writing group. Meeting 12:30-2:30pm from late March to the end of May. DM for more info.
Dec 16 at 7pm at Bombyx! We're so delighted to be raising money for the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts during our very first Welcome Table Chorus live performance. Invite friends and join us for a very special evening of music for a great cause.
I'm soon setting off on a family adventure to Italy. No car, multiple trains, planes and ferries. First concern: what book should I bring to read? The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is one I loved but will not be bringing. Here's why.
The next Welcome Table Chorus concert is June 2 at Bombyx! These have been absolutely amazing events and we hope you'll join us in raising funds for The Movement Voter Project.
That Reform is a nasty little racist party more intent on causing division than actually coming with any useful policies is hardly new, but this really takes the biscuit. Attempting to blackmail and threaten voters with some playground politics of performative cruelty is a new low even for them.

Listen to me get distracted, talking about my “melancholy” piece. I wanted to talk about the sadness but my mind went elsewhere with its textures. It’s one of my personal favs of my own work. I’ll prob keep talking about it because there’s so much on this piece that short vids won’t do it justice 🖤

I liked how because of Midori's height, he always lands on his feet. But because of his inexperience, it always seems entirely incidental. His feet just happened to be near the ground.

It’s OBVIOUS—AIPAC candidates will NEVER be in step with the Democratic base. @rephaleystevens.bsky.social is a prime EXAMPLE: she dismissed U.N. findings that Israel committed genocide & won’t commit to holding Trump accountable. That positioning should end a candidacy in EVERY Democratic primary.🤦🏿♂️

Labor is delivering five tax cuts in three different ways. Tomorrow we’ll introduce historic legislation to deliver more tax cuts to Australian workers. If the Coalition votes against our tax cuts, they will be voting – yet again - for higher income taxes for millions of Australian workers.
