	♥ 9:11am Edgar from Maine: The air is sunny and crisp in Portland this morning. The gulls and mourning doves are surprisingly silent now.
	♥ 9:13am TDK60: I saw and heard a Northern Mockingbird yesterday on a park walk. That bird should record an album.

	♥ 9:15am Handy Haversack: Morning, Vivian! Are the chickens staying warm?
	♥ 9:16am Ironside: ↳ TDK60 @9:13 I feel that way about a Grey Catbird outside my house lol. I swear the thing is beatboxing and it makes these long compositions.
	♥ 9:16am evancuts: My first moring sleeping in after a month of wakiing up at 5 to go birding. Perfect music for my morning. And flycatchers are still passing through!

	♥ 9:17am Handy Haversack: I'm running a bird-watching canoe trip on Newtown Creek tomorrow -- our first since 2021, I think.
	♥ 9:19am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:15 Lol, this is nothing for the girls! They're going to get a special treat- scrambled eggs. Using up the eggs they laid while they were on deworming meds. Those eggs are not good for human consumption so rather than waste them, lunch for the ladies.
	♥ 9:19am Vivian: Have you gone out kayaking lately?
	♥ 9:19am steveo: i heard birds
	♥ 9:20am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:17 Jealous! How many miles is the trip?
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:16 There's a bluejay out behind our bldg. that can perfectly mimic the squeak of the wheel on our neighbor's laundry line and the sound of another neighbor's patio umbrella.
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:20 Oh, maybe five? We take it real easy on these.
	9:21am gina k: Hi Trouble, writing from Pratt st in PVD. My porch door is open and the radio is making the birds here crazy! Yesterday a hummingbird zoomed up to my snap dragons. So nice!
	♥ 9:23am Baja Joe: Good morning all. Great day for a ballgame. I'll be at Yankee Stadium later tonight for workplace arranged outing. For now, enjoying the tunes.
	♥ 9:23am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 How many hours are you on the water?
	♥ 9:24am Rich in Washington: ↳ Song: "marianne" by "gu" This is lovely
	♥ 9:24am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ken From Hyde Park @9:23 Three? A little less with the loading and unloading.
	♥ 9:25am steveo: lokah samastah sukhino bhavantu

	9:27am gina k: I moved here in the fall and am loving it
	9:29am trailrunnah: I’m hovering above my desk right now…
	♥ 9:32am Ironside: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 That's amazing Handy! I didn't know jays were mimics! I have some around here pestering the robins. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they've learned any interesting calls.
	9:35am Slaboch: If you ever want to have Bridget on your show let me know! Happy to intro! She's the best and lives just across the river.
	♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "last goodnight" by "bridget st john" Seeing Bridget St. John and Myriam Gendron was one of the real highlights of last year.
	♥ 9:36am Trouble: more about today's artist and artwork: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 9:36am Trouble: wow! great to hear that @ michael. gracias!
	♥ 9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:32 Bluejays get a bad rap as pests but are really shy -- they get bullied off feeders by cardinals, doves, robins, even sparrows! There used to be one out back that would imitate a hawk's whistle! All the sparrows would scatter, it would swoop in for a few bites from the feeder, and then the sparrows would come back and chase it away!
	♥ 9:39am βrian: "Les mouettes ne sont pas muettes."
	♥ 9:40am Zinn The Mood: Have to say this show has put in me a budding appreciation of ornithology, which was the polar opposite from a childhood phobia of sorts. Had just read a Twain passage from A Tramp Abroad, in which he finds himself in the middle of the woods away from his hotel in Heidelberg, Germany, and has this encounter with a winged-creature: “When I had stood ten minutes, thinking and imagining, and getting my spirit in tune with the place, and in the right mood to enjoy the supernatural, a raven suddenly uttered a horse croak over my head. It made me start; and then I was angry because I started. I looked up, and the creature was sitting on a limb right over me, looking down at me. I felt something of the same sense of humiliation and injury which one feels when he finds that a human stranger has been clandestinely inspecting him in his privacy and mentally commenting upon him. I eyed the raven, and the raven eyed me. Nothing was said during some seconds. Then the bird stepped a little way along his limb to get a better point of observation, lifted his wings, stuck his head far down below his shoulders toward me and croaked again—a croak with a distinctly insulting expression about it. If he had spoken in English he could not have said any more plainly than he did say in raven, "Well, what do YOU want here?" I felt as foolish as if I had been caught in some mean act by a responsible being, and reproved for it. However, I made no reply; I would not bandy words with a raven. The adversary waited a while, with his shoulders still lifted, his head thrust down between them, and his keen bright eye fixed on me; then he threw out two or three more insults, which I could not understand, further than that I knew a portion of them consisted of language not used in church. I still made no reply. Now the adversary raised his head and called. There was an answering croak from a little distance in the wood—evidently a croak of inquiry. The adversary explained with enthusiasm, and the other raven dropped everything and came. The two sat side by side on the limb and discussed me as freely and offensively as two great naturalists might discuss a new kind of bug. The thing became more and more embarrassing. They called in another friend. This was too much. I saw that they had the advantage of me, and so I concluded to get out of the scrape by walking out of it. They enjoyed my defeat as much as any low white people could have done. They craned their necks and laughed at me (for a raven CAN laugh, just like a man), they squalled insulting remarks after me as long as they could see me. They were nothing but ravens—I knew that—what they thought of me could be a matter of no consequence—and yet when even a raven shouts after you, "What a hat!" "Oh, pull down your vest!" and that sort of thing, it hurts you and humiliates you, and there is no getting around it with fine reasoning and pretty arguments.” Goes on hilariously like this…
	♥ 9:41am PaulRobeson1923: Morningggggg
	♥ 9:42am Karl Ward: ↳ Song: "last goodnight" by "bridget st john" Bridget St. John live at Tubby's Kingston June 3: www.tubbyskingston.com...
	♥ 9:43am PaulRobeson1923: GListening to the radio I heard Trouble say the name Marianne. & instantly it brought to mind The Donovan song. “Marianne set the table, an old friend i see…
	9:43am Bo: Going to see the mighty Marshall Allen at keystone korner in Baltimore tonight!!!!
	♥ 9:46am Trouble: yes!! @bo, proper way to celebrate!
	♥ 9:46am unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "tonight i'll be staying here with you" by "tina t... glad you're playing this. I saw this referenced somewhere but hadn't gotten around to tracking it down. I love it. (one of my favorite lesser known Bob songs, too)
	♥ 9:46am steveo: enjoying this one a lot. one of my uncles used to say he wouldn't listen to any music by people who had passed away but he eventually realized it wasn't prudent. rip ms turner
	♥ 9:48am Yetz: ↳ steveo @9:46 wow, that would be quite limiting!
	♥ 9:49am unpopularfred: ↳ Song: "i can't stand the rain" by "tina turner" Dig this one, too. That's a big voice and how one should use it,
	♥ 9:49am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Song: "tonight i'll be staying here with you" by "tina t... Holy shit - listen to this! Had no idea… One of my favorite Jeff Beck Group tunes, the cover of a Dylan song. And her version sounds like they took the JBG one, complete with slide guitar, and did their own. Tina’s version of Whole Lotta Love is great too. Thanks for playing this, Trouble!
	♥ 9:49am Baja Joe: Ahhh... TT. Both powerful and empowering
	♥ 9:51am steveo: ↳ Yetz @9:48 i used to imagine him running out of the grocery store if an elvis song came on the pa or something
	♥ 9:52am sydnius: ↳ steveo @9:51 Gah! Beethoven!
	♥ 9:54am Triple G: A wonderful, celebratory set for of/for Tina
	♥ 9:54am steveo: ↳ sydnius @9:52 oh, i hadn't realized; rip Ludde
	♥ 9:56am Gregolomania: ↳ Song: "river deep, mountain high" by "ike & tina turner" This is the stuff!
	♥ 9:57am TDK60: The proof is in the pudding. Tina rocked the hemispheres.
	♥ 9:57am Micheal: Thanks for playing some great Tina songs, Trouble. Agreed that she was made into a caricature by the industry - clearly, she was bigger than that.
	♥ 9:57am Zipperhead7: Quite a contrast in sets! That's why we love yer show, Trouble. Tina was such a force of nature
	♥ 9:58am Franco Twinkie: Why am I out of bed? Tina, that's why!
	♥ 9:58am Mike Sin: ↳ Song: "river deep, mountain high" by "ike & tina turner" It's interesting that Ike & Tina ended up cutting this track and releasing it about three different times
	♥ 9:59am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "sweet rhode island red" by "ike and tina turner" Modern World-appropriate!
	♥ 9:59am chresti: Morning Trouble! RIP Tina!
	♥ 9:59am love2laf: Glad I paused the chorin' for a rest to catch this Tina set. I'm still so disappointed in The Guardian's obit which was so sparse. It does not even touch on the fact that Erwin Bach, whom she called her only husband, donated his kidney to her. Everyone had more Tina Turner in their world because of him.
	9:59am Marie in Queens: I was hoping to hear Trouble's Tina tunage. Good morning, Trouble and all!
	10:01am ?: thank you Trouble, excellent revue of the greatest performer. hail Tina, long live Tina.
	♥ 10:01am Whosondephone: Rock and roll!
	♥ 10:02am Franco Twinkie: I saw The Ike and Tina Turner Review in 1973. I can honestly say I WAS NOT ready for the experience.
	♥ 10:03am alanr: and lets not forget that Tina left the USA and found Europe to be more supportive to her (not that racism does not exist there, but she is not the only African-American who fled to Europe). Quite a statement on the USA (I fled to Mexico city)
	♥ 10:06am Franco Twinkie: Jungle Boogie and Hollywood Swingin' for me!
	♥ 10:11am Whosondephone: This is the Doobie brothers? I had no idea this voice was the Doobie Brothers?
	♥ 10:12am listener james from westwood: Generally in NJ this might be a low-turnout year, both for the primary and the general, owing to no federal or gubernatorial races. But! Your vote, and your urging others to vote, can change that! Bring friends to the polls and local meetings of Dems and progressives, and tell them to do likewise! And find a local GOTV effort you can hop in onê—they ALWAYS need more folks, even just to nudge folks to return their mail-in primary ballots, and it's never too early, given the momentum we need to build to unseat local Republicans on town councils, in Trenton, and (a biggie) on school boards. (Signed, your local Bergen County Democratic Committee member.)
	10:12am Kat in the chat: I forgot how good this one is, hits in about the same spot that “What A Fool Believes” does
	♥ 10:12am Zipperhead7: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:06 I'm partial to "Raw Hamburger" and "Funky Man." the protagonist of which had exceptionally smelly armpits and dreamed of bringing the world under his "funk power"
	♥ 10:14am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Whosondephone @10:11 Before Michael MacDonald joined The Doobie Brothers, they were the house band for the San Jose chapter of The Hells Angels.
	♥ 10:14am egould: ↳ Song: "real love" by "the doobie brothers" This isn’t the Doobie Brothers. This is that Michael McDonald guy.
	♥ 10:15am Zipperhead7: ↳ Franco Twinkie @10:06 Prince's cover of "Hollywood Swingin'" is to die for. His bass solo has so much stank it hurts! www.youtube.com...
	♥ 10:17am Kat in the chat: ↳ Song: "wake up everybody ( part 1)" by "Harold Melvin & ... I didn't forget how good this one is!
	♥ 10:17am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ Song: "wake up everybody ( part 1)" by "Harold Melvin & ... Best song on the Album
	♥ 10:17am chresti: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:15 Oooh I love that song!
	♥ 10:18am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Zipperhead7 @10:15 Kool and the Gang were the sound of KGFJ in Los Angeles. Cruising down Venice Blvd. in the summer smog with the widows rolled down!
	♥ 10:18am Yes: Morning friends
	10:18am Chief Guy: Ah yes. The children. We must remember the children.
	♥ 10:18am tom tom the pipers son: @trouble, hey that ann wilson piece is a fabric piece not a painting... innit
	♥ 10:18am sydnius: ↳ Yes @10:18 🌞 a shiny happy day to you
	10:19am Chief Guy: Especially the little fat ones. The delicious fat ones.
	♥ 10:20am PaulRobeson1923: ↳ alanr @10:03 Morning alanr. Recall the constructive criticism of these United States as a “Sick Society” We can move towards a loving society! The ideal type!! Ideal Types can help us see where we are by comparing what U see to the Ideal
	♥ 10:20am listener james from westwood: How do I not have this Camille faved? A gross omission!
	♥ 10:20am steveo: pretty happy i got myself together and turned on this show today
	♥ 10:21am Kat in the chat: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:20 yeah I just took care of that too
	♥ 10:22am Franco Twinkie: ↳ Song: "take yo' praise" by "camille yarbrough" This is lifting my spirit on a gloomy grey morning.
	♥ 10:23am Mick: ↳ Song: "take yo' praise" by "camille yarbrough" So SO GOOD
	♥ 10:23am Baja Joe: I can't stop clicking the clicky-star thingys
	♥ 10:23am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "take yo' praise" by "camille yarbrough" has an annette peacock flavor
	10:23am Listener Schned: Bonjour Mme Trouble and progressive listeners! Can we get a shout in for those rallying at NY City Hall today for a cost-of-living adjustment for our human services workers ? NYCity folk can contact/e-mail their elected rep.s to ask for support for #JustPay -la lutte continue- thx all!
	♥ 10:26am tom tom the pipers son: linda lewis died on may 3rd
	♥ 10:26am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Schned @10:23 Go get 'em, Listener Schned! Rise up!
	10:26am gauche knee: Dropping in to say love the 7” set & Fab ode to Tina Turner!! Reminded me of my NYC -Tennessee roadtrip , sadly didn’t make it to her museum…hope it’s protected & can visit someday.
	10:26am Chief Guy: Does being charged with things they didn’t do include paying rent?
	10:28am gauche knee: Listener Schned, will do & thnx! Important info & great guest!
	10:28am Marie in Queens: ↳ listener james from westwood @10:12 Thank you, Citizen James!
	10:29am Chief Guy: The best way to beat the landlord is to buy your place. Seriously the best thing I ever did was cut every cost I had, save, buy, and move out of the rent trap.
	♥ 10:30am sydnius: I change my filters on the Solstices
	10:31am Chief Guy: Lol sydnius.
	♥ 10:32am chresti: Wow, more expensive than SF or LA?
	♥ 10:34am sydnius: ↳ Chief Guy @10:31 I used to sneeze a lot- having a filter pulling all the dust out of this cave has made a lot of difference!
	10:37am Chief Guy: Sydnius, I use some nose filters that I made myself. I just wad up old Covid masks and ram them up both nostrils. Saves money on A/C filters. And time!
	♥ 10:38am Dance the Blues: Cut off the tax breaks to real estate. They are the largest beneficiary. Also would be nice if we could stop overrelying on property taxes for city tax revenue. This has basically made real estate and city governments partners in real estate development.
	♥ 10:38am steveo: love the jc chats; grassroots community radio!
	♥ 10:43am mndave: Here in Minneapolis where legislation was passed to eliminate single-family zoning, the bad-faith lawsuits to claim 'adverse environmental impacts' from tri/4-plexes just keep on coming. www.startribune.com...
	♥ 10:43am Chris Hiatt: Good Morning. Back from the park and here to listen with y'all.
	10:44am Chief Guy: Rent is money down the rathole.
	♥ 10:44am Dance the Blues: Affordable housing is a boondoggle for tax breaks. It's not affordable. I can't believe politicians are getting away with saying affordable still.
	♥ 10:47am Vivian: I'm listening online and the feed dropped. Anyone else experiencing this?
	♥ 10:47am chresti: ↳ Vivian @10:47 Yes
	♥ 10:47am ifeelfatnsassy: Yeah, stream is repeatedly dropping for me, too.
	♥ 10:47am WoodsOfMaine: ↳ Vivian @10:47 Several stream drops here.
	♥ 10:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Vivian @10:47 yes. stream going out
	♥ 10:48am ifeelfatnsassy: They'll do anything to keep rent high.
	10:48am el_musgo: Here too... whats uo with the streaminggggg???
	♥ 10:48am Zinn The Mood: I deeply applaud and applaud the efforts of these folks. We need more like it. The point is to mitigate the rapacity and suffering of the marginalized who often don’t have the means for legal help. But until we organize and stand united against this the economic system of capitalism we’ll forever just be putting band-aids on bigger and bigger gaping wounds. Politicians in such an electoral system in which “donations” literally amount to bribery will never be moved to do anything but the very bare minimum, if anything at all. How much higher does the tinder (which includes obscene price-gouging at grocery stores and monopolization of everything else by corporate bandits) need to go before it all explodes?
	10:49am Marie in Queens: Prolly you all know this but a lot of the conservative movements/legislation are happening at the local and state level, and extremists are in the majority because of gerrymandering. They don't reflect the will of the people. Separately, we have to reform the Supreme Court!
	♥ 10:49am chresti: ↳ ifeelfatnsassy @10:48 Right? I was thinking that- the evil overlords..
	♥ 10:49am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Zinn The Mood @10:48 Applaud and admire
	10:50am ?: who is the good guy - who is the recommend?
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chief Guy @10:44 That is exactly the attitude that leads to massive, systemic discrimination against renters, the idea that only ownership is a valued position. You are looking at the few who profit from a broken system and saying, "See? It works." The best protection against landlords is enforceable laws and a government that cares about more than lining its own pockets. And the worst is when those who think they've won turn on those who struggle because "if I made it out, you could too if you just tried." It's when people confuse the system with its victims and blame them for failing when they were never meant to succeed. And success is not ownership! It's dignity and safety and justice.
	10:50am Marie in Queens: I applaud local activism!
	♥ 10:52am love2laf: ↳ Vivian @10:47 Oh it's not just me then, phew, no need to reboot the modem.
	♥ 10:52am prof.fuzz: morning y'all
	♥ 10:54am Handy Haversack: ↳ love2laf @10:52 Yes, multiple short drops. Morning, prof.!
	♥ 10:56am Franco Twinkie: Okay, ice skating!
	♥ 10:56am prof.fuzz: handy-o!
	10:57am Chief Guy: I didn’t say that ownership is the “only” valued proposition. But it is the best one can shoot for in the present. If you don’t have the ability, then of course one needs the protection of the law, but one can’t depend on the passage of good laws.
	♥ 10:57am love2laf: I am always happy to hear of people standing up and being strong to make this world a better place. Thank you Trouble for always making a place for fellow activists. It gives hope.
	♥ 11:04am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all, just getting here.
	♥ 11:07am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Just catching up on comments now, and yeah, especially in NYC, "affordable housing" is total bullshit, and there is ZERO enforcement against bad landlords trying to reduce the few remaining rent stabilized apartments there are out there by neglecting their buildings to the point where they are unlivable, and then doingbullshit "material upgrades" to raise the rent past the limit. I stuck it out in such a place for almost 14 years until there was literally a hole in my top floor ceiling down to the brickwork, which started to fall in and we had no heat or hot water. Calling the City meant that the LL would then threaten everyone in the building, ask for 90 days to "cure," get it, still do nothing, lather, rinse repeat.
	♥ 11:08am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also, if you can afford $1200 in rent (after tax dollars) every month, and have a consistent payment history, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to get a mortgage for that amount that has tax breaks, regardless of your source of income (freelancer, long term temp, etc).
	♥ 11:13am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Don't Leave me Mama" by "little murray and the ma... me, a middle aged white guy had a dream about a little black girl punching out people left and right, the meaning...??
	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:08 And we all learned in 2008 that ownership is as weaponized as renting, that until for=profit banks are removed from housing, it will always only be another field of extractive capitalism, concentrating the wealth of a nation in the hands of a few over the pain and struggle of workers.
	♥ 11:14am Yetz: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 Ain't that America!
	♥ 11:16am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:14 Couglin' practice is on Mellencamp Monday morning!
	♥ 11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 Absolutely. Ditto for underfunding/deliberate civic choices to destroy/underfund public transportation. In the Before Times, some of the support staff had a 2.5 hour commute each day each way from Starrett City. Two long, slow busses to the subway, then a few transfers until they hit Grand Central, which was a 2 minute walk to the office. My Big Boss sometimes bragged how "oh, he just cycles to the train station" (Metro North) in Westchester so people shouldn't bitch about lack of public transportation. Now, compare Metro North stations and trains to the decaying shitshow that is the MTA in NYC....
	♥ 11:19am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:14 was it you i was conversing with about marketa lazerova?
	♥ 11:19am Yetz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:19 Yes! Did you watch it?
	♥ 11:21am Zinn The Mood: ↳ gauche knee @10:28 If you’re still around, gauche, get in touch via email. At some point soon will be putting together the Anti-Capitalist Troublemakers meetup. Have been a bit busy lately and haven’t been able to do anything in that direction. Anyone else interested please do same!
	11:21am Marie in Queens: I'm in a period now where I need to take a break from the news--I'm finding it very disheartening
	♥ 11:21am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 And the poor -- the working poor in the most unreachable part of the outer boros -- have the worst and longest commutes as well as the least development of other businesses/more food deserts etc. They HAD to come into Manhattan to get prescriptions filled reliably, etc. One woman I know had to decide what kind of grocery shopping she had to do before leaving the office at night. NO big supermarket within walking distance, just crappy bodegas. As she put it, "I can take one bus to one store that has affordable paper stuff like toilet paper and has OKish bread but the produce and meat are horrible; it's a different bus to get to the one good place for vegetables and fruit but the meat and poultry are way overpriced, and if I want a decent fish store it's all the way out of the way. NONE of those busses are the busses I use for my commute."
	♥ 11:21am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:19 i watched it and found it conservative in its sexual politics, but it was depicting the middle ages so what can you expect
	♥ 11:22am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:21 Zinn, find me via my profile, and also Handy has a bunch of folx' addresses IIRC
	♥ 11:24am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 Same here, Marie. Have to take long breaks from what is passed on to us as “news.” Putting the phone away and picking up books, going for a walk/bicycle ride, playing an instrument, getting together with like-minded, caring and compassionate folks is the best. Speaking of, if you’d like to join us please get in touch.
	♥ 11:24am Triple G: Have a great rest of the day all -- thanks for the great music Troubz
	♥ 11:24am Mick: Thanks for the conversation, trouble & troublemakers - good look at the inner workings of tenants' rights and affordable housing (the actual thing that prioritizes human rights, living conditions, and authentic environmental concerns; as well as the smoke-and-mirrors version, referred to by Handy and others, that is used to funnel money to the developers and investors by means of tax breaks and payouts.) In other news, the right to shelter law in New York is under attack too
	♥ 11:25am Yetz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:21 That was your takeaway? I thought it was an incredible piece of cinema.
	♥ 11:26am Yetz: "Vláčil’s approach was to re-create the textures and mentalities of a long-ago way of life, rather than to make a conventional historical drama" - (Criterion)
	11:27am Marie in Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:24 Hi Zinn, even reading what you write there is soothing. Yes, I want to go to any kind of meetup, fer sher! I am going to sign in right now (looking up my password @) )
	♥ 11:27am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Yetz @11:26 Thanks for hipping me to that movie, will have to grok.
	♥ 11:27am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:22 Indeed! I’ve been in touch with Handy; we’re gonna get this thing together!
	♥ 11:29am Yetz: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:27 It's set in the 13th century, it's about the clash between Christianity and paganism, so don't expect a feminist statement! Also see it on the big screen if possible, the cinematography is great.
	♥ 11:30am Vivian: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:21 I'm in! Will be in town next week and July 11-13. If the meetup falls within those dates, let me know.
	♥ 11:30am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:27 Hey, please count me in. I've been wondering about it. I believe Handy has my contact info via me signing in a few weeks ago. I'll have to be more diligent about checking my email. I am prepared to bring beer to share! (I know how to make friends ;>}. )
	♥ 11:32am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:25 yeah, i guess if you see in a cinema the cinematography is great but i felt i was looking at craftsmanship yes you posted as i was typing and its a misnomer to characterize it as czech new wave i may not be one for epics i'm afraid
	♥ 11:33am Yes: ↳ Song: "i am strange" by "sun ra" <333
	♥ 11:36am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Yetz @11:29 Speaking of a seeing something on a large screen I was reminded last night how little we (I) do these days. Popped in to the wonderful new books and record store/activist hub/performance space called the PIT (Property Is Theft) in Wmsbg. They were presenting as their first film night, “Babylon,” a 1980 film about the Jamaican neighborhoods in Britton where Linton Kwesi Johnson hails. Had a huge screen setup that took up more than half the wall space. Great sound system there (they also offer and repair sound equipment). Was a great vibe. Wish I could have stayed longer…
	♥ 11:36am Yetz: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:36 Oh man that movie is GREAT!!!
	♥ 11:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:36 I have been meaning to get to that spot. If there were but world enough, and time.
	♥ 11:37am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Vivian @11:30 Shall keep that in mind!
	♥ 11:37am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:21 in my food desert. The Dollar General closed, so people are out of luck if they can't find their groceries at the 7-11 or the Circle-k (or the pricey korean grocer). There is a Publix a good five miles away via bus (one four miles via two busses), or a wal-mart 1.5 miles away via foot. I technically have options, that residents in my neighborhood don't have.
	♥ 11:39am Yetz: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:32 Right, not really part of the Czech New Wave ... and if you didn't like Marketa Lazarova, don't watch Tarkovsky's "Andrei Rublev", you'd hate it! :-)
	♥ 11:39am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:36 Oooh, need to check that space out!
	♥ 11:39am Mick: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:36 This sounds all kinds of fantastic!
	♥ 11:40am Handy Haversack: ↳ Yetz @11:39 I saw that at Film Forum years ago. My friend who speaks Russian at one point leans over and says, "In case you're wondering, you're really not losing anything in the translation"!
	♥ 11:40am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ northguineahills @11:37 Ugh. That's awful for peeps who need to rely on the busses. 7-11s are a ripoff and Walmart is...Walmart.
	11:40am B bop Jonas: Zinn the mood….. isn’t it a form of capitalism of how this very radio station is funded?
	♥ 11:41am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ B bop Jonas @11:40 Um, no. Volunteer staff and WFMU is a not for profit.
	♥ 11:41am Crownless Gander: Going to see the current Arkestra in three weeks at a free library show here. V. exciting!
	♥ 11:41am Trouble: jersey city right to counsel is RTCJC201 on insta and twittr
	♥ 11:41am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:30 Had been thinking of you, fellow Queens resident, since we broached this idea when Josh from Interference Archives was setting the anti-capitalist mood so wonderfully with Trouble. But then hadn’t seen you around here for a couple of weeks, I think. Looking forward to having a beer together!
	♥ 11:42am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:39 no, i remember liking andrei rublev didn't dislike m.l. just didn't make strong impression or something
	♥ 11:45am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 Yeah, me too. I was like, I gotta check in on that meetup! I work 9 to 6 (with an hour lunch) and lately have meetings (where I am not really necessary) much of the morning, and am often busy with work (and getting myself together, since I literally roll out of bed and log in---it's sick @). ). I'm glad I didn't miss it! Where do you live, Zinn? I'm in Woodside, right by Sunnyside Gardens
	♥ 11:45am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:41 Zinn, you're in Queens Where? I'm in Astoria.
	♥ 11:46am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:45 Marie - Same, more like 10-7 for me but also from bed to login.
	♥ 11:46am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:40 I can't imagine walking 1.5 miles in FL weather w/ no shade carry groceries. There goes any frozen food choices...
	♥ 11:47am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:39 have never seen star wars but had the thought george lucas saw marketa lazerova and ripped it off in terms of spatial ideas
	♥ 11:47am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:46 Uh huh. I spend much of the early part of the day, sneaking in coffee/tea, getting dressed, eating, making my bed, etc., in between meetings and jobs. But I refuse to get out of bed any earlier than I need to.
	♥ 11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ northguineahills @11:46 Oh man, yeah, you'd need a soft cooler bag with your own cold pacs at very least.
	♥ 11:48am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:47 I feel you re sneaking in a shower, brushing teeth, etc between emails and meetings. Sitting here in my nightie now, need to do these things and do a post office run (which adds half an hour to my workday).
	♥ 11:49am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:41 Need a lot more libraries like that! Libraries are already my sanctuary. Music and books together, sanctioned by the state, could there be anything better? Guess it all depends on what’s on offer…
	♥ 11:49am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:48 Exactly. Right now, I'm still in my robe, unshowered, definitely needing to brush my choppers @))
	♥ 11:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ northguineahills @11:46 I feel blessed that I am a very short walk to TWO supermarkets, have TWO greenmarkets right by me, and a few pharmacies and dry cleaners. I never want to have to leave this building; lots of very old folks here who stay active because they can in fact still do their own shopping, laundry dropoff, etc.
	♥ 11:50am Yes: enjoying the sun ra's . love + thanks, trouble, et all
	11:50am B bop Jonas: Without capitalism WFMU would cease to exist
	♥ 11:50am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:49 I need caffiene but I am way behind on groceries and I have been out of milk for a while. Will get a coffee from a local place when I get my mail.
	♥ 11:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:49 I mean, most nights I am too exhausted to want to face a crowded supermarket for milk and basics. It's a chore.
	11:52am Zeke: Oh! Lovely! Reminds me of the Hal Wilner production “Stay Awake” of all Disney covers. He had the Arkestra do “Pink Elephants” from Dumbo, which was Amazing!!
	♥ 11:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:45 Pretty close to you, short bicycle ride. I’m at Astoria Park. Will fill you (and Threemoons) in via email…
	♥ 11:53am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ B bop Jonas @11:50 Actually mass media conglomeration and control by a few large corporations is the biggest danger to indie radio stations. Look at the drive to kill AM radio altogether. But, I assume you're just trolling at this point.
	♥ 11:53am Marie de Queens: ↳ northguineahills @11:37 I find those conditions deplorable and wonder what could be done about it. I don't think it was always that way, I mean, pre-70's/80s? I think that is when cut-throat capitalism made new strides (of farms, local, small shops...). I wonder if anyone has written a history of food deserts...
	♥ 11:53am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:52 Very cool. I can't do a bike but I walk everywhere, looking forward to it.
	♥ 11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:39 you think what i said is stupid? ... could be
	♥ 11:54am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 Yes, they have...there's a few books on the subject, can't do a deep dive into my Bookshop.org wishlist to find at the moment but there are a lot out there.
	11:55am B bop Jonas: So everyone you disagree with is a troll
	♥ 11:55am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:50 I hear you. I hate going to grocery stores but I must say one of the best things about my local grocery store (never had this situ. before) is that there are almost never lines and it's not like a huge barn where all the essentials are spread out as far as possible. PS: It's a small, family-run business
	♥ 11:55am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 11:55am love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 I know that when my parents came here as farm labourers, everyone worked together to shop for food. You always knew your neighbours, and if you biked to the store, you offered to bring back something needed by someone. Living in tin shacks, reliant on bicycles, you simply had to work together.
	♥ 11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: What's to be gained by trying to ban a poem? www.pbs.org...
	♥ 11:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 Here's one to start with www.ucpress.edu...
	♥ 11:56am northguineahills: Trouble, thanks for the excellent sounds as per usual! merci!
	11:56am Dances with Moomins: Thanks Trouble! lovely and fun today
	♥ 11:57am Karl Ward: ↳ Dances with Moomins @11:56 Lovely is indeed the word
	11:57am bobobob plasticland: I met SunRa ..Herman..thru Marshall at the Starship club after I got them some weed ..1980s
	♥ 11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in to today's very eclectic show. see you next week!
	♥ 11:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:55 My local Trade Fair has everything, it's just perpetually crowded, unless you go at a weird hour like after midnight on a weeknight and even then it's busier than you would think.
	♥ 11:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And Trouble, thanks for the tunes!
	♥ 11:57am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, this Modern World is far from perfect, and love listening to you bring guests who are trying so hard to make a better world. Music is always amazing. Thanks for all the great chat, it's always good to learn from you all.
	♥ 11:57am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:52 Oh, neato. That's a nice area. Sounds great, I look forward to it! Thanks.
	♥ 11:58am Zipperhead7: Thanx Trouble! Always enjoy the community here, even when it gets a bit fractious. Thankfully the biggest a-hole on the FMU boards never posts here
	11:58am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Enjoy the day!
	♥ 11:58am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:49 Right?! I still remember the first time my mom took me to a library as a kid, it seemed so unlike anything else I'd ever heard about. Wait, so we can just "borrow" as many books as we want and bring them back when we're done? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right.
	♥ 11:59am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:55 Thank-ee!
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: How is it noon?! Thanks, Trouble, for all the sounds, musical and conversational. Stay Troubled, all.
	♥ 12:00pm Mick: thanks, trouble!!!
	♥ 12:00pm Chris Hiatt: Thanks, Trouble!
	♥ 12:00pm Marie de Queens: ↳ love2laf @11:55 Sounds lovely. Where are your parents from? My parents were farmers in Ireland b4 moving here
	♥ 12:00pm Crownless Gander: Thanks for a great time, Trouble! See y'all next week!
	♥ 12:00pm Zinn The Mood: Thanks for everything, all! See some of you soon enough!
	♥ 12:00pm Marie de Queens: Thanks Trouble and crew!
	♥ 12:00pm love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:00 Germany, escaping the war.
	♥ 12:01pm Marie de Queens: Wow, very interesting. Where do you live? Can you come to the meetup?
	♥ 12:02pm love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:01 I wish, I am in Canada, Ontario in the North. I look forward to hearing all about it though!

A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

	♥ 9:19am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:15 Lol, this is nothing for the girls! They're going to get a special treat- scrambled eggs. Using up the eggs they laid while they were on deworming meds. Those eggs are not good for human consumption so rather than waste them, lunch for the ladies.
	♥ 9:19am Vivian: Have you gone out kayaking lately?
	♥ 9:19am steveo: i heard birds
	♥ 9:20am Vivian: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:17 Jealous! How many miles is the trip?
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:16 There's a bluejay out behind our bldg. that can perfectly mimic the squeak of the wheel on our neighbor's laundry line and the sound of another neighbor's patio umbrella.
	♥ 9:20am Handy Haversack: ↳ Vivian @9:20 Oh, maybe five? We take it real easy on these.
	9:21am gina k: Hi Trouble, writing from Pratt st in PVD. My porch door is open and the radio is making the birds here crazy! Yesterday a hummingbird zoomed up to my snap dragons. So nice!

	♥ 9:32am Ironside: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:20 That's amazing Handy! I didn't know jays were mimics! I have some around here pestering the robins. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they've learned any interesting calls.
	9:35am Slaboch: If you ever want to have Bridget on your show let me know! Happy to intro! She's the best and lives just across the river.
	♥ 9:35am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "last goodnight" by "bridget st john" Seeing Bridget St. John and Myriam Gendron was one of the real highlights of last year.
	♥ 9:36am Trouble: more about today's artist and artwork: www.nytimes.com...
	♥ 9:36am Trouble: wow! great to hear that @ michael. gracias!
	♥ 9:38am Handy Haversack: ↳ Ironside @9:32 Bluejays get a bad rap as pests but are really shy -- they get bullied off feeders by cardinals, doves, robins, even sparrows! There used to be one out back that would imitate a hawk's whistle! All the sparrows would scatter, it would swoop in for a few bites from the feeder, and then the sparrows would come back and chase it away!
	♥ 9:39am βrian: "Les mouettes ne sont pas muettes."
	♥ 9:40am Zinn The Mood: Have to say this show has put in me a budding appreciation of ornithology, which was the polar opposite from a childhood phobia of sorts. Had just read a Twain passage from A Tramp Abroad, in which he finds himself in the middle of the woods away from his hotel in Heidelberg, Germany, and has this encounter with a winged-creature: “When I had stood ten minutes, thinking and imagining, and getting my spirit in tune with the place, and in the right mood to enjoy the supernatural, a raven suddenly uttered a horse croak over my head. It made me start; and then I was angry because I started. I looked up, and the creature was sitting on a limb right over me, looking down at me. I felt something of the same sense of humiliation and injury which one feels when he finds that a human stranger has been clandestinely inspecting him in his privacy and mentally commenting upon him. I eyed the raven, and the raven eyed me. Nothing was said during some seconds. Then the bird stepped a little way along his limb to get a better point of observation, lifted his wings, stuck his head far down below his shoulders toward me and croaked again—a croak with a distinctly insulting expression about it. If he had spoken in English he could not have said any more plainly than he did say in raven, "Well, what do YOU want here?" I felt as foolish as if I had been caught in some mean act by a responsible being, and reproved for it. However, I made no reply; I would not bandy words with a raven. The adversary waited a while, with his shoulders still lifted, his head thrust down between them, and his keen bright eye fixed on me; then he threw out two or three more insults, which I could not understand, further than that I knew a portion of them consisted of language not used in church. I still made no reply. Now the adversary raised his head and called. There was an answering croak from a little distance in the wood—evidently a croak of inquiry. The adversary explained with enthusiasm, and the other raven dropped everything and came. The two sat side by side on the limb and discussed me as freely and offensively as two great naturalists might discuss a new kind of bug. The thing became more and more embarrassing. They called in another friend. This was too much. I saw that they had the advantage of me, and so I concluded to get out of the scrape by walking out of it. They enjoyed my defeat as much as any low white people could have done. They craned their necks and laughed at me (for a raven CAN laugh, just like a man), they squalled insulting remarks after me as long as they could see me. They were nothing but ravens—I knew that—what they thought of me could be a matter of no consequence—and yet when even a raven shouts after you, "What a hat!" "Oh, pull down your vest!" and that sort of thing, it hurts you and humiliates you, and there is no getting around it with fine reasoning and pretty arguments.” Goes on hilariously like this…

It does not even touch on the fact that Erwin Bach, whom she called her only husband, donated his kidney to her. Everyone had more Tina Turner in their world because of him.

Your vote, and your urging others to vote, can change that! Bring friends to the polls and local meetings of Dems and progressives, and tell them to do likewise! And find a local GOTV effort you can hop in onê—they ALWAYS need more folks, even just to nudge folks to return their mail-in primary ballots, and it's never too early, given the momentum we need to build to unseat local Republicans on town councils, in Trenton, and (a biggie) on school boards.

	♥ 10:48am Zinn The Mood: I deeply applaud and applaud the efforts of these folks. We need more like it. The point is to mitigate the rapacity and suffering of the marginalized who often don’t have the means for legal help. But until we organize and stand united against this the economic system of capitalism we’ll forever just be putting band-aids on bigger and bigger gaping wounds. Politicians in such an electoral system in which “donations” literally amount to bribery will never be moved to do anything but the very bare minimum, if anything at all. How much higher does the tinder (which includes obscene price-gouging at grocery stores and monopolization of everything else by corporate bandits) need to go before it all explodes?
	10:49am Marie in Queens: Prolly you all know this but a lot of the conservative movements/legislation are happening at the local and state level, and extremists are in the majority because of gerrymandering. They don't reflect the will of the people. Separately, we have to reform the Supreme Court!

	10:50am ?: who is the good guy - who is the recommend?
	♥ 10:50am Handy Haversack: ↳ Chief Guy @10:44 That is exactly the attitude that leads to massive, systemic discrimination against renters, the idea that only ownership is a valued position. You are looking at the few who profit from a broken system and saying, "See? It works." The best protection against landlords is enforceable laws and a government that cares about more than lining its own pockets. And the worst is when those who think they've won turn on those who struggle because "if I made it out, you could too if you just tried." It's when people confuse the system with its victims and blame them for failing when they were never meant to succeed. And success is not ownership! It's dignity and safety and justice.

	♥ 10:56am prof.fuzz: handy-o!
	10:57am Chief Guy: I didn’t say that ownership is the “only” valued proposition. But it is the best one can shoot for in the present. If you don’t have the ability, then of course one needs the protection of the law, but one can’t depend on the passage of good laws.
	♥ 10:57am love2laf: I am always happy to hear of people standing up and being strong to make this world a better place. Thank you Trouble for always making a place for fellow activists. It gives hope.
	♥ 11:04am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Morning all, just getting here.
	♥ 11:07am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:50 Just catching up on comments now, and yeah, especially in NYC, "affordable housing" is total bullshit, and there is ZERO enforcement against bad landlords trying to reduce the few remaining rent stabilized apartments there are out there by neglecting their buildings to the point where they are unlivable, and then doingbullshit "material upgrades" to raise the rent past the limit. I stuck it out in such a place for almost 14 years until there was literally a hole in my top floor ceiling down to the brickwork, which started to fall in and we had no heat or hot water. Calling the City meant that the LL would then threaten everyone in the building, ask for 90 days to "cure," get it, still do nothing, lather, rinse repeat.
	♥ 11:08am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Also, if you can afford $1200 in rent (after tax dollars) every month, and have a consistent payment history, there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to get a mortgage for that amount that has tax breaks, regardless of your source of income (freelancer, long term temp, etc).

	♥ 11:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:08 And we all learned in 2008 that ownership is as weaponized as renting, that until for=profit banks are removed from housing, it will always only be another field of extractive capitalism, concentrating the wealth of a nation in the hands of a few over the pain and struggle of workers.

	♥ 11:18am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 Absolutely. Ditto for underfunding/deliberate civic choices to destroy/underfund public transportation. In the Before Times, some of the support staff had a 2.5 hour commute each day each way from Starrett City. Two long, slow busses to the subway, then a few transfers until they hit Grand Central, which was a 2 minute walk to the office. My Big Boss sometimes bragged how "oh, he just cycles to the train station" (Metro North) in Westchester so people shouldn't bitch about lack of public transportation. Now, compare Metro North stations and trains to the decaying shitshow that is the MTA in NYC....

	♥ 11:21am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:14 And the poor -- the working poor in the most unreachable part of the outer boros -- have the worst and longest commutes as well as the least development of other businesses/more food deserts etc. They HAD to come into Manhattan to get prescriptions filled reliably, etc. One woman I know had to decide what kind of grocery shopping she had to do before leaving the office at night. NO big supermarket within walking distance, just crappy bodegas. As she put it, "I can take one bus to one store that has affordable paper stuff like toilet paper and has OKish bread but the produce and meat are horrible; it's a different bus to get to the one good place for vegetables and fruit but the meat and poultry are way overpriced, and if I want a decent fish store it's all the way out of the way. NONE of those busses are the busses I use for my commute."

	♥ 11:24am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie in Queens @11:21 Same here, Marie. Have to take long breaks from what is passed on to us as “news.” Putting the phone away and picking up books, going for a walk/bicycle ride, playing an instrument, getting together with like-minded, caring and compassionate folks is the best.

In other news, the right to shelter law in New York is under attack too

	♥ 11:36am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Yetz @11:29 Speaking of a seeing something on a large screen I was reminded last night how little we (I) do these days. Popped in to the wonderful new books and record store/activist hub/performance space called the PIT (Property Is Theft) in Wmsbg. They were presenting as their first film night, “Babylon,” a 1980 film about the Jamaican neighborhoods in Britton where Linton Kwesi Johnson hails. Had a huge screen setup that took up more than half the wall space. Great sound system there (they also offer and repair sound equipment). Was a great vibe. Wish I could have stayed longer…

The Dollar General closed, so people are out of luck if they can't find their groceries at the 7-11 or the Circle-k (or the pricey korean grocer). There is a Publix a good five miles away via bus (one four miles via two busses), or a wal-mart 1.5 miles away via foot. I technically have options, that residents in my neighborhood don't have.

	♥ 11:51am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:49 I mean, most nights I am too exhausted to want to face a crowded supermarket for milk and basics. It's a chore.
	11:52am Zeke: Oh! Lovely! Reminds me of the Hal Wilner production “Stay Awake” of all Disney covers. He had the Arkestra do “Pink Elephants” from Dumbo, which was Amazing!!
	♥ 11:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:45 Pretty close to you, short bicycle ride. I’m at Astoria Park. Will fill you (and Threemoons) in via email…
	♥ 11:53am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ B bop Jonas @11:50 Actually mass media conglomeration and control by a few large corporations is the biggest danger to indie radio stations. Look at the drive to kill AM radio altogether. But, I assume you're just trolling at this point.
	♥ 11:53am Marie de Queens: ↳ northguineahills @11:37 I find those conditions deplorable and wonder what could be done about it. I don't think it was always that way, I mean, pre-70's/80s? I think that is when cut-throat capitalism made new strides (of farms, local, small shops...). I wonder if anyone has written a history of food deserts...
	♥ 11:53am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:52 Very cool. I can't do a bike but I walk everywhere, looking forward to it.
	♥ 11:53am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Yetz @11:39 you think what i said is stupid? ... could be
	♥ 11:54am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 Yes, they have...there's a few books on the subject, can't do a deep dive into my Bookshop.org wishlist to find at the moment but there are a lot out there.
	11:55am B bop Jonas: So everyone you disagree with is a troll
	♥ 11:55am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:50 I hear you. I hate going to grocery stores but I must say one of the best things about my local grocery store (never had this situ. before) is that there are almost never lines and it's not like a huge barn where all the essentials are spread out as far as possible. PS: It's a small, family-run business
	♥ 11:55am TDK60: Thanks, Trouble.
	♥ 11:55am love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 I know that when my parents came here as farm labourers, everyone worked together to shop for food. You always knew your neighbours, and if you biked to the store, you offered to bring back something needed by someone. Living in tin shacks, reliant on bicycles, you simply had to work together.
	♥ 11:55am Ken From Hyde Park: What's to be gained by trying to ban a poem? www.pbs.org...
	♥ 11:55am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:53 Here's one to start with www.ucpress.edu...

	11:57am bobobob plasticland: I met SunRa ..Herman..thru Marshall at the Starship club after I got them some weed ..1980s
	♥ 11:57am Trouble: thanks for sitting in to today's very eclectic show. see you next week!
	♥ 11:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Marie de Queens @11:55 My local Trade Fair has everything, it's just perpetually crowded, unless you go at a weird hour like after midnight on a weeknight and even then it's busier than you would think.
	♥ 11:57am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: And Trouble, thanks for the tunes!
	♥ 11:57am love2laf: Thank you Trouble, this Modern World is far from perfect, and love listening to you bring guests who are trying so hard to make a better world. Music is always amazing. Thanks for all the great chat, it's always good to learn from you all.
	♥ 11:57am Marie de Queens: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:52 Oh, neato. That's a nice area. Sounds great, I look forward to it! Thanks.
	♥ 11:58am Zipperhead7: Thanx Trouble! Always enjoy the community here, even when it gets a bit fractious. Thankfully the biggest a-hole on the FMU boards never posts here
	11:58am morphe': Thanks Trouble and all !!!
	♥ 11:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Enjoy the day!
	♥ 11:58am Crownless Gander: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:49 Right?! I still remember the first time my mom took me to a library as a kid, it seemed so unlike anything else I'd ever heard about. Wait, so we can just "borrow" as many books as we want and bring them back when we're done? Are you sure? That doesn't sound right.
	♥ 11:59am Marie de Queens: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:55 Thank-ee!
	♥ 11:59am Handy Haversack: How is it noon?! Thanks, Trouble, for all the sounds, musical and conversational. Stay Troubled, all.

	♥ 12:00pm Zinn The Mood: Thanks for everything, all! See some of you soon enough!
	♥ 12:00pm Marie de Queens: Thanks Trouble and crew!
	♥ 12:00pm love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:00 Germany, escaping the war.
	♥ 12:01pm Marie de Queens: Wow, very interesting. Where do you live? Can you come to the meetup?
	♥ 12:02pm love2laf: ↳ Marie de Queens @12:01 I wish, I am in Canada, Ontario in the North. I look forward to hearing all about it though!
