Horrid realities. Amazing poetry and song. Beautiful voice. (An existentialist summary of neoliberalism/corporatism?)

What it must be like to be a woman and to be targeted like that. Among the package of embedded privilege I lug around as a big old white dude is that I am able to put on a decades old worn T shirt in the morning with no compunction.

Terrific to see you sing, Sonja. I apologize in advance for often unhelpful comparisons, but I started watching and immediately thought...Joni...

don’t apologize at all, honestly the comparisons were so flattering to me! i’m honoured! and that’s so real, too.. the expectations of men’s style/dress compared to what society expects of women. i used to try and keep up with it all and eventually said fuck it / no thanks ahaha

Also, my six-year-old came hustling in from the next room when he heard you singing. He said, “That’s a really good song!” 😊
