In honor of Bandcamp United, here are a few new releases I'm super stoked on—happy #BandcampFriday to one and all!

First, @LankumDublin's beautiful, bone-chilling new folk/drone opus; it's really like nothing else lankum.bandcamp.com/album/false-la…
@LankumDublin The new @DawnRayd album, 'To Know the Light,' drops today and shows a real evolution in the band's grandiose take on black metal anarchy. I wrote all about it for @dbmagazine if you'd like to know exactly why it rules so hard decibelmagazine.com/2023/03/20/daw… dawnrayd.bandcamp.com/album/to-know-…
Philly's own glittery grindcore avatars of righteous trans vengeance, @hirs666, just released 'We're Still Here' ahead of their massive 52-date tour, and it features so many cool guests your head will spin hirs.bandcamp.com/album/were-sti…
Bay Area doom royalty Acid King are back with their fifth LP, 'Beyond Vision,' a warm, fuzzy lysergic odyssey through the riff-filled land. Turn it up, drop out, float away acidking.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-v…
A new @ChatPileBand song off the upcoming split with Brothers in Christ just surfaced, so you know you're gonna wanna wrap your grubby little ears around it posthaste chatpile.bandcamp.com/album/brothers…
ICYMI, Greek black metal antifascists Spectral Lore dropped a new EP earlier this week, '11 Days'- all sales will donated to pro-refugee organizations and causes, to so it's an especially good Bandcamp Friday purchase if you care about people AND riffs spectrallore.bandcamp.com/album/11-days
I am always open to recommendations too but only if they are good and the type of thing I like already, I am too old to give indie rock a chance
I am VERY excited about the return of River, who you'll remember as the best dang woodsy Pacific Northwestern neofolk project out there (feat. members of Alda, Mania, Huldrekall, etc). Shout out to @thefiadh for this one! rivercascadia.bandcamp.com/album/regenera…
Jersey's sweetest little doom noise sludge puppies, @SunrotMusic, just dropped a new single from their forthcoming album, 'The Unfailing Rope' sunrot.bandcamp.com/album/the-unfa…

When I worked at Vice, my boss was outed as a sexual predator and was reported to HR and they did nothing :)
I’ve got lots of stories. Never underestimate the quiet goth girl in the corner.
This same boss went around telling all the editors at other Vice verticals that I was “difficult” when he knew I was getting ready to go freelance and was planning to pitch them. I guess he decided to do some light sabotage, just because.

For @inthesetimesmag, I wrote about the women who nourished the longest strike in Alabama’s history. There is power in mutual aid, in sacrifice, in love, in resilience. There is power in a pantry. inthesetimes.com/article/there-…
@inthesetimesmag For 23 months (and counting!) @MineWorkers auxiliary members like @HaedenWright, @Chast005, and @connie85415745 built and ran a sophisticated mutual aid operation while juggling work & family and supporting their striking spouses. Here's how they did it; inthesetimes.com/article/there-…
The Warrior Met strike changed everything about the @MineWorkers auxiliary members and their spouses' day-to-day lives for two years—and experiencing the power of solidarity changed them as people. inthesetimes.com/article/there-…

Coal miners in Alabama have been on strike for 600 days today, and it's thanks to the women—wives, mothers, daughters, retired miners—that the @MineWorkers have held out for so long. I wrote about these fierce granddaughters of Mother Jones for @Jezebel: bit.ly/3Enlu36
@MineWorkers @Jezebel The phrase “You don’t mess with a Southern mama" may sound like a Home Goods coffee mug, but it hits a lot different when it's coming from a coal miner's wife who woke up that morning ready to blockade a mine entrance and be hauled off to the county jail. bit.ly/3Enlu36
"I want my kids to fight like hell for themselves. They don’t need a man to fight that battle for them," @HaedenWright told me. She and her sisters in the UMWA auxiliary are part of a long tradition of women fighting for their families in the coalfields bit.ly/3Enlu36

Solidarity forever.
As a lot of freelancers have been saying, if Twitter goes down, our livelihoods suffer. Twitter is where I share my work, promote my book, connect with editors, sources, other journalists, workers, activists, and organizers. We all know no corporate media outlet is gonna hire me.
Yeah it's a hellsite, yeah it's immeasurably flawed in many ways, but for some of us, it's become a stand-in for an office (which are just a different flavor of hellscape), especially the journalists and creators who are shut out of elite media circles but built followings here.

Alabama was the last state to formally outlaw the practice of convict leasing—in 1928. A little less than a century later, they’ve finally finished the job. Very curious to see what happens next, and how this will impact currently incarcerated workers in the state.
It’s great to see Alabama take this wildly overdue step, but they’re not the only place where prison slavery is legal. Incarcerated workers in six other states are paid *nothing* for their labor, and others are grossly underpaid. Thank the 13th Amendment. news.uchicago.edu/story/us-priso…
I wrote about this in my book but honestly just read ‘Hammer and Hoe’ to learn more about it uncpress.org/book/978146962…

So I decided to vote because the situation in Pennsylvania is real fuckin dicey. I mailed in my ballot last week, but got a call today that there was an issue. Went to City Hall to fix it and this was the scene. Then cops kicked a bunch of people out of line so I guess that’s it? Photo of a long line of peo...
I am very much not an electoral guy but figured it was the least I could do while living in a so-called “purple state” with abortion on the ballot. Looks like my little vote won’t even count since I have a morning flight tomorrow so you win this round, electoralism
Probably worth noting that the Board of Elections office closed at 5 and I was there at 4. They cut off the line three people before me. There was an 82-year-old woman in a Phillies cap in front of me who was SO upset she got turned away, she sounded like she was gonna cry :(
