first time playing “weird light” out in the world — Thursday, May 21st at Honeytree Meadery in East Nashville 🌱 this place and these songs are so special to me and i’m excited to sing them in the same airspace as your ears. free show! maybe we will hug :)

my first little album, weird light, is out today. i wrote the first of these songs in 2020, and the last of them 10 months ago, and to me they represent little conclusions over that stretch of time, little agonies about existing in relation - to people i’ve loved, to all-consuming technology, to my one human body. i hope you see a piece of your own experience in them, or that in a tiny sacred way we can share a question. i’m proud of myself for finishing something, for saying something i mean — and i’m grateful, above all, to my most patient love for bringing the songs to life and translating the nonsense in my gut better than anyone could.
you know how around thanksgiving they have those little moulded turkeys made of butter at the grocery store? they’re a radical act of whimsy, of indulgence that doesn’t answer to anything practical and won’t change anything — silliness & decoration & fanfare that is technically not necessary and is functionally useless but still adds magic to the table and makes being alive feel like a special occasion. that’s felt important to me lately.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories.

Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
