Check out who lives on my leg now.
@dylanaiello birthed this Albertacetatops (Big Al? berty? Bertha? Undecided) in what might be recorded history’s first tattoo- string arrangement exchange.

5 stars recommend going to LA and having him put art on you

well something crazy happened last night at the @canadianfolkmusicawards and we got to read a speech for our producer and friend Ben, Producer of the Year

At our gig yesterday morning we got called “earnest” and brace yourselves, cause we’ve never felt more hearts-on-our-sleeves:

congratulations forever to @benplotnickmusic; working with you was a dream come true and we are so full of love and pride and gratitude and laughter about this whole thing (what a speech, truly)

thanks a million to the CFMAs for making this weekend unforgettable. As Edmontonians, I don’t think we’ve ever been so happy to be in Calgary 😂

last year we got to make a beautiful record with friends old and new, and we are so thankful for them (though the true award recipient already thanked you we can’t do it enough): @jarredalbright @claire.lecocq @biboye.onanuga @theevstew @franalog @riverdale_recorders @kraitz @the_neon_eagle. and @yegarts made it all possible, which is so important these days

and just the biggest most endless wave of gratitude and celebration to everyone in this community. all the artists we know, awards nominated or not, work so hard with great love and thought and passion to make such important art. nothing is the same without it.

We are so deeply grateful. Three nominations at this year’s Canadian Folk Music Awards! Being recognized alongside so many extraordinary artists this weekend in Calgary is something we don’t take for granted.

To every nominee and every winner this weekend - congratulations from all of us.

A huge thank you to Madeleine Roger for everything you brought to Glasswing. Making this record with you was a dream. Thank you Joby Baker for your incredible musical mind and spirit, and to Birthday Cake Records for being a dream label to be a part of.

Lastly, thank you to the @canadianfolkmusicawards for building something so meaningful for Canadian music.

Also - we ❤️ Calgary.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

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. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. 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.
