i'm finally feeling it, the exhaustion they talked about...and mostly because i'm trying to do All the Things. 


in quick news...the bernie sanders webcast/benefit/event was AMAZING - thank you to everyone who came out in santa fe and sold the place out. we made about $3k and sent it off the bernie central. are any of you in iowa or new hampshire? i hope you're votin', and i don't care who fors. JUST VOTE! everybody throw a beer pong voting party.


THIS JUST IN...if you're in santa fe...

i'm going to play a TRULY BIZARRE SHOW that can only be explained if you read this article. so...read this article about Meow Wolf and George RR Martin first:


http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/feb/11/george-rr-martin-santa-fe-youth-exodus-meow-wolf


and now you get it.

jason webley and i are going to play THE OPENING EVENT of this crazy place, march 18. the tickets are limited, grab them. this is a TRUST ME moment. TRUST ME. if you're anywhere new mexico - get in a car and come see this place. it is OUT. OF. FUCKING. CONTROL. george rr martin gave me a tour last week. basically, it's Sleep No More meets Alice in Wonderland meets Oz meets Choose Your Own Adventure meets Disneyland meets Burning Man. HOW COULD YOU NOT COME? this place is historic. and it's not even open yet.

we're doing the gig for free because we love these freaks so much.

for what, you ask?


FOR A FUCKIN SURPRISE RECORD THATS WHAT. 


because i am a crazy person. a tired crazy person.

that is what i am.

i type the truth.

a fucking crazy tired mother person.

i'll either just put it out as an epic surprise from outer space or i'll announce it because it's annoying keeping a secret. i've given enough hints, anyway.

I USED TO BOWL THERE AS A KID!!! It's killing me that I live many states away and cannot go.... Meow Wolf seems like an incredible collaborative. HAVE A KICK ASS TIME on the 18th!

Meow wolf is one of the only things I've heard of in a long time that makes me want to go back to New Mexico, where I went to high school in a small town with lots of small minds. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. Gig sounds amaze balls. Hope to see the place on day. Good old George RR!

Amanda, please rest before you burn out. You're fucking awesome, you're Amanda Fucking Palmer, and there's no need to prove yourself as a woman, an artist, or a human being. All things have their time and place, and honestly, it is ok to rest. It isn't anti-feminist to acknowledge the very sane reality that everything has a time and place, and that we can do nearly everything we want to in life (maybe everything), but we cannot do it all at once. You are loved by so many, and serve as a role model to so very, very many. Show them what excellent self love and self care looks like - you CAN do ALL THE THINGS - just not at once. Don't burn out, bright star. I'm a birth, death, and mourning doula, I've served at more than 1200 births, and an overwhelming number of deaths, and provided support through grief - and you, my dear, are in BOTH right now, not just the postpartum period, but also the GRIEF period, you lost Anthony not so very long ago, and even though our culture ignores many of the realities of grief, they don't just go away. In fact, grief followed by birth creates an entirely other complexity of emotion (different, mind you, than birth followed by death, which also complex, is different, and I'm glad you're experiencing the former, and not the latter). Amanda, I not only work at the bookends of life, I train others to do so - please, trust me in this, you need to make space for all of it, the physical healing, and the emotional healing. There's also grief in the postpartum period - we aren't happy all the time, no matter how much we love our beautiful little perfect bundles of wonder. We are exhausted, and we also realize - even as we stare at them in amazement and wonder how we thought we were living before they erupted into our lives - that even though we can try to normalize things and pretend we are the same person we were before we birthed, we aren't. Birth shifts and changes us - mostly for the better, but it is natural to grieve what we left behind (even the basics, such as being able to pop up off the sofa and say, "I'm gonna run down to..." needing only to grab our keys and jacket. I mean, is anyone really prepared for how long it takes to get out of the house with a newborn in the winter? Not to mention things like carseats, carriers or strollers, and diaper bags, and the endless streams of whatnots?). My point is: Create and hold space for this sacred time in your life. You've done some major things now - but you didn't have to, you didn't have to prove yourself to anyone, except maybe yourself, I guess...? But we all love and support you out here, and don't judge you the way you judge yourself. You're Amanda Fucking Palmer, and you're awesome, you're made of stardust and moonbeams, and endless streams of wonderful things, just like all of us are...and you, more than most, actually do a wonderful job of expressing that on a regular basis. Now isn't the time for doubt or proving; you've more than proved. Hold space for grief; for falling further in love with your little; for falling in love with Amanda who has just added an entirely new dimension to her expression in the world, now that she's a sacred mama; and space for the ways in which all of your relationships inevitably shift and change with the introduction of another human being into the mix. I hope you aren't offended that I shared this, I know ultimately it's not my business, and please know I meant nothing negative by it, and only wanted to share that I wish you nothing but love, joy, and wonder - and I just don't want to see such beautiful light burn too fast... <3

Jenneryy

I adore that book! Read it to my daughter the day she was born. <3
