i can’t believe this article was written in this century. levels of sexism are medieval. sick of men writing fanfic about women’s bodies and calling it journalism.
@fridahalo
this is so well put!!!! imo publicists and journalists have a responsibility to push back against this. i can write commentary on masculinity, riff on the old testament and mythology, reference all the greats of american letters and people will still be like “raw and personal

i am screaming!!! imagine pulling this gag more than once?????is she creating these “trapped in a small space” situations herself? cutting plane brakes and damaging elevator gears on the sly? and if so, what is her endgame? it’s giving sam jackson in that one movie you know the1
it has come to my attention that me and the old band are playing on a loop in the memphis airport? this rocks! also, by law i am now the one true governor of tennessee and we’re bringin back abortion, y’all!
i was very proud to play on this album even though i had no choice in the matter… adeem called and said “bring that harp to the studio or you’ll never work in this town again”
giving my new album a listen on the good speakers at home. bad news for my haters: it’s dy-no-mite batshit good. i know this shits taken forever you guys but o my god it’s gonna be worth the wait

@AmericanaFest
as a queer artist who has showcased in the past and hopes to do so again, I’d appreciate a statement. I need to know if and how you intend to stand with my community. I know you may not be able to speak on everything publicly, but the silence doesn’t feel good.
@joyoladokun
no but actually. i get treated like garbage on the DAILY when i’m on the road. and i’m light skinned. sometimes i want to wear a hidden camera bc non Black friends/colleagues actually cannot imagine the demeaning disrespectful treatment we deal with..
@joyoladokun
the other thing is that for every instance where we speak out publicly, there are like 20 shitty racist experiences we don’t even bother to complain about cause they’re so common
i find it really beautiful to see kids finding new and deeper connection to tracy chapman’s writing!! the curious will hear fast car and dig deeper, finding, to their astonishment and gratitude, the treasure trove of her catalog!
SURPRISE, BABIES !!!!! THE TITLE TRACK OF MY NEW ALBJM, ‘HALFSIES,’ JUST PREMIERED ON

when i was younger i had serious doubts about whether i’d survive my 20s.. looking at this photo i realize what a miracle my life is. it’s possible to be happy as an adult! and you don’t have to sacrifice your true self to get there! there are people who will love you as you are!
No joke, I went from playing the lobby of the hotel across the street just a few years ago to being the first artist to sell out 4 shows in a month at
@Antones

@chescaleigh
omg i will never forget the date i had with a gorgeous man who spent most of our conversation on a monologue explaining why he wanted to learn guitar and his plans to take it up as a hobby. had he asked me even one question he might have found out i’m a professional musician ???
WHAT is the deal with men needing to humble me / put me in my place? i just got another “your music is ACTUALLY good” back handed non compliment DM from a stranger and i usually brush em off but you know what i have had it!! i am begging you to be normal, my brothers in christ!

when alison brown and steve martin are playing a poignant ass original song combining two beloved styles of banjo playing ? and sam bush appears from the shadows on the mando? that’s heaven 2 me, personally
@Kyla_Lacey
this person is the podcast equivalent of the early aughts “white woman plays a rap song on the ukulele” trend. it wasn’t cute then and it isn’t cute now. white people please return to your traditional arts! square dancing! sonnet writing! leave our shit alone

the FIRST photo in this article being of m*rg*n w*ll*n tells me everything i need to know about the tennessean’s respect for Black country artists. 😠we are not a response to white ignorance. we are not a trend or a protest. we are the past, present, and future of country music.

music licensing class? i got to talk about film scoring and creativity and what i learned from waitressing and how to invest in your creative community? and talented young musicians told me about their creative journeys? what a blessing?

@MarissaRMoss
it is awfully convenient for mediocre men that when women hit our stride as thinkers, producers, and songwriters, they can shove us aside because of age. if they had to compete with mature, self-actualized women artists on a level playing field now that would be something!!
@AmmahStarr
this is why i never ever ever raise my voice, move quickly, or express emotions (other than occasional gentle crying) in medical settings. healthcare workers always misinterpret direct communication from Black women as aggression. i have had this noted in my charts in the past 🙄
several of my close personal relationships would be instantly strengthened if i would just suck it up and watch one star wars movie and find something nice to say about it but i can’t i just can’t! i don’t get it! can someone show me a way into this silly ass franchise ?
patrick haggerty was my hero and my friend. he dedicated his life to the revolution. he loved to tell people he got kicked outta the peace corps for suckin dick. he was fearless and DIY as fuck. his music made the world a better place. your fave could never but we should all try.
white Americans have this epiphany often….. and then they realize anything done to address it will help black people, and then they don’t care about it anymore. They will gladly die from Whiteness
SPAKE THE SALT PILLAR is on streaming services at last. i hope you like it and share it. i hope you let yourself look back once you’ve made it to where you’re going. 🗻
i’ve seen tweets asking why older folks put spaces before punctuation like this !!! and let me, 32 year old woman who does this, tell you why : (1) for razzmatazz !!!!!
being a stepmom to a 13 yr old girl is The joy of my life except when i witness the raging misogyny of her male classmates. it starts so young dude. they think of girls like community property already. who is raising these boys?? i just wanna talk. not finna jump you [i am].
Latest Review: Melodically engaging and lyrically thoughtful, musically, ‘Halfsies’ sets Lizzie No alongside Rhiannon Giddens and Allison Russell with Toni Morrison as a bedrock; it’s already secured a place in the 2024 Best of list.
*Takes a deep breath*
Saints, today is gonna be a very long and high emotion day for us as a family. Let's keep the fights clean and the disagreements cute, Amen??

, name a song (SONG, not ARTIST) everybody loves.... but you HATE. K
i think this is right on the money btw. i mean it’s an oversimplification to call americana “corporate bs” across the board but ….. yeah…..a lot of marginalized folks doing ok in americana would be country music household names in a just world🤷🏽♀️
@MarissaRMoss
I’ve noticed that they just shove a lot of Women, Black, or even LGBTQ country artists into the BS corporate “Americana” label because they don’t fit in with homogenized image of Nashville
And people who aren’t deeply into this genre wonder why country music lacks diversity
WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW BATSHIT GOOD, LIKE NEXT LEVEL ANGELIC RHYTHMIC GOOD, THE BACKGROUND SINGERS ON FAITH HILL’S THIS KISS AND THE WAY YOU LOVE ME ARE???????????
Here’s a picture I took the other day of my friend

to say I think you should listen to her songs, her stories & her new album ‘Halfsies’ out today everywhere music is.
ANCESTORS is a song i turn to on my hardest days, when i feel most alone.
