  1. @Htaggert I love this photo! Is your cat glorious? She looks like it to me. She reminds me of a dear friend from now several decades past, named Grendel. There is a way that some cats are so present in the moment and in themselves. Not arrogant, instead they I think they radiate glory and something beyond words. Many humans can’t accept this, so they mock and belittle. But the glorious ones are unflapped. #cats #Catadon

  2. Bob, good to see you on Mastodon! I think I first met you on the Birdsite more than a decade ago when it was a better place. I have only come across a handful of in the 45 days I’ve been here. Dr. Paul Santmire is here: @PaulSantmire

  3. @serenebabe @danielschultz I have not found many #ELCA #Lutherans identifying themselves here yet. Some with big bird sore followings are probably reluctant to give those up and they might overestimate their ability to speak to a broad audience. I work for the ELCA Churchwide office. I have recommended they start an instance. There is some interest in this. I will keep you posted with what I hear/find and spread the word about Dr Santmire being here.

  4. Two weeks in the fediverse, time for an intro: I’m a filmmaker creating alternative narratives to dominant cultural discourses
    through micro documentaries. I’ve always been an outsider, which I love and hate. I believe in “liberty and justice for all,” particularly for #BIPOC, #LGBTQIA+ and #disabled folk. I was diagnosed with #ADHD at 55. My #neurodiverse brain is both my best asset and my greatest enemy. I love #Fellini #HowardThurman #MisterRogers #SpongeBob #Documentary #NarrativeTherapy

  6. Carla J. Easton Announces New Album “I Think That I Might Love You”; Stream New Single And Video “Oh Yeah”

    Photo by Craig McIntosh

    On May 8Carla J. Easton will release her new album I Think That I Might Love You on Ernest Jenning Record Co. (pre-order). Today, she is sharing the album’s lead single “Oh Yeah” and its accompanying music video directed by Jacob Ceris Gandy. The track is out out now on all digital platforms for playlist consideration. The song opens the album, setting things in motion with a bucketload of warmth and a full-spirited burst of pop co-written with her Poster Paints bandmate Simon Liddell, flying by in a heady rush of melodrama, with glowing melodies, and a dizzying sense of adventure.

    I Think That I Might Love You marks a meaningful new chapter for Easton: a pop record at its core, but her first built primarily around the guitar. The album grew out of her work on Since Yesterday: The Untold Story of Scotland’s Girl Bands, during which women repeatedly told her how they picked up an instrument, learned a few chords, and jumped headfirst into making music. Having long centered her own career around keys, across four solo albums, her bands TeenCanteen and Poster Paints, and as part of The Vaselines’ live lineup, Easton felt compelled to follow that same instinctive leap.

    Produced by Howard Bilerman (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Wolf Parade, Leonard Cohen, The Weather Station), the album finds Easton collaborating closely with friends old and new, resulting in an album that feels both natural and transformative. The new album was inspired not only by her time making the Since Yesterday film, but also by her work within Hen Hoose, the Scottish songwriting collective that unites a diverse array of female and non-binary artists, writers and producers to create new work collaboratively. As such, I Think That I Might Love You includes a number of co-writes across its eleven new songs, including Simon Liddell (Frightened Rabbit, Poster Paints), Hen Hoose’s MALKA (Hen Hoose), Glasgow’s Man of the Minch, Canadian singer-songwriter Brett Nelson, and cult hero Darren Hayman of Hefner.

    Recorded live off the floor at Glasgow’s legendary Chem 19 studio, with just a single day of rehearsal, I Think That I Might Love You captures the immediacy and warmth of human performance. It’s an album animated by communal energy and trust, favoring feel and connection over polish, and reflecting Easton’s growing confidence as a songwriter.

    At its emotional core, the album is about friendship: finding it, cherishing it, and learning how to live with its loss. That thread began years earlier in a recording booth at Third Man Records in Nashville, where Easton started writing with close friend and collaborator Brett Nelson. “We started writing about the idea of the red thread,” Easton says. “The idea that you have more than one soulmate, platonic as well as romantic, and that if you find any kind of thread connecting you to someone, it’s something worth following.”

    That sense of shared discovery runs throughout I Think That I Might Love You, a record shaped by long road trips, exchanged voice notes, and collective moments of creation. Buoyant yet reflective, immediate yet deeply felt, it’s a vivid expression of connection and creative freedom, an album glowing with communal heart, stitched together by trust, joy, and the thrill of making something together.
