Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

What you consume, you become:

• The books you read.

• The content you watch.

• The people you spend time with.

• The thoughts you feed your mind.

Choose wisely.

You hit publish, and there’s no reaction.

No likes. No shares. Just silence.

But writing isn't about receiving praise.

It’s about leaving parts of yourself for others to discover.

It may take days.

It may take years.

But keep writing, regardless…

i miss slow things. slow mornings. slow friendships. slow art. slow romance. everything feels like it needs a deadline when the best parts of being alive takes more time to bloom than we care to admit.

Good morning.

DOGE is fake and not a real agency.

Please quit pretending it’s real

We're getting ready to dive into some writing sessions in a couple of weeks, and my anticipation level is through the roof! Not only will we have access to an amazing room with great studio equipment, but there's also a collection of pretty much every Fender amp ever made, along with Music Man, Ampeg, and all of our own amps, that live in this space.

We haven't had much time together as a band since the last round of support tours. Since the pandemic, that's mostly what we've been doing—festivals and support tours. These were great experiences, and if more support tours come our way, I think everyone in the band would be more than happy to hit the road again. The bands we've played with over the last five years have been wonderful, both new and old friends: Cursive, Thursday, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Nate Bergman!

That said, getting together with The Appleseed Cast to write new ideas sounds incredible to me. I feel unencumbered by any specific palette, especially after scratching the synth instrumental itch with Black x Sea. Where once I was set on making this Appleseed Cast album instrumental, now I'm not so sure. I’m open to whatever direction it takes—which, honestly, is the best possible place to be when writing for TAC.
