hello my loves

stop

too tired for long sentences

(stop, etc)

or capitals

or periods

of any kind

slowly

recovering from covid

very tired

but smiling

from the burn of going

straight into the frying pan of covid into the fire of dresden dolls rehearsal

don’t know what i’m doing for the patreon this month given i lost my work week

found myself unexpectedly weeping while playing a song today that i wrote in 2004

still don’t understand music after all these years

meanwhile brand new birds coming

their future mom is asleep on them abive the door

everyone on facebook warns me they might get eaten or otherwise die or be destroyed

i’m like

i know

my little ash bird went for his first full swimming hole dip of the season

barefoot as usual

says he’s a kiwi kid

holly and i managed to play piano tonight for 5 minutes

forgive the incoming long incoherent recovery

it definitely gets weirder nowadays

Love to you my Angel. Which song made you weep ❤️

Kristin Ryan

The video of you and Holly playing tonight made my heart burst through my chest. So much love. 💜

Natalie Fades

Yes! Love how all these photos lead to your lighthouse “.”

James from Wellington

Love the random life explosion in these photos. The positioning of pieces of Ash followed by sushi though, children are not for eating :p

Titus

Nomz!!! Sushi!!

Titus

I live to far from any viable fresh fish for sushi. The worst sushi from a Safeway tastes better than the best Sushi in Fargo North Dakota. :)

Ashlee

Just want to tell you how grateful I am to you and your music. I finally got to see you in Tacoma. The music is helping me process something. I've got deep mutual feelings for someone I've only known for a few months, and we found out he has a dire medical situation. The Ride is reminding me of the good within the bad.

Suzanne

Yay you! Ash is an awesome alien child. And today was Very Long and tomorrow will be no shorter, so I should sleep. Sending love and light Amanda dear. Same to everyone else. Be safe, be well. (I have meetings and messages all over for work because of the official end of the Public Health Emergency... Also, our physicians are seeing very few people coming to the hospital because of Covid. It is not gone, but it apparently is not as severe... I guess we'll see where this goes.)

Angel Rosen

Be good, everyone. If anyone needs a friend or a poem (or both things at once, my specialty), I'm here to be whatever you need. Sending love all around.

Marley Kendrick

I just saw your story about losing followers on ig. It seems so weird to me that anyone would follow you but be pro monarchy in the same way it seems weird to me when anti establishment type musicians accept OBEs etc....or just that people follow an outspoken artist then unfollow when they are outspoken. Just a thought ramble

Alex Maizy

What you are saying about covid worries me Amanda. i think it's quite important to properly rest after having covid instead of pushing on and powering through. It might be the case that this increases the chance of getting long covid by not recovering properly (though i did take things very easy when i had it and still got long covid). It is not the same as other things where powering through is okay. If you are still very tired then do less so that you can rest more. Yes that sucks. But getting long covid sucks much more.

Piper Shepherd

Oh Amanda. Sweet beautiful songwriter. I am in a state of delirium with a deep sickness, and nursing my baby sister back to health in the middle of the night. We are all going to recover so much. I hope you enjoyed the Colorblind request. That song makes me cry and I did not truly understand it the first time I heard it. It has taken on a different meaning as I near the final days of my 20s. For a giggle, must mention that I used to be in an all local comedian based comedy band that I named Slaytriarchy. I was the angry feminist with two male musicians channeling something that I think is the core of why your music cries into my heart. You will always get through everything, all the things, because you gave us something musically and the karma will take care of you forever. I hope any of this means anything and makes sense. I am also delirious and sick. But wanted to offer words. I seriously love you, your music, and your bad days, more than you know. Thank you for your service. We create to survive. The air I can suddenly breathe from certain songs is why we do this. LOFNOTCs in the post Covid world - holding down the blanket fort.

Jen

❤️❤️❤️

Lynn Robinson

I don't know why you worry about what to put out this month - you have given us so much - updates, insights, photos and love. I'd say we have had our fill already . Much love back you you 🌻x

Tamara

Good morning. It is bird baby season everywhere and I love it. Currently hostessing nesting sandpipers in my front walkway. I love the way they walk...as if the tide will catch them even far from the ocean. Thank you for sharing your robin eggs and so much. Feeling inspired today. ❤️

My favorite bits: The color of that person’s lipstick and the look on their face. Ash being a “kiwi kid” and running barefoot. Turtle! *** While in town I saw three baby bears and then after watching them for many minutes got too close and saw the mama bear who gave me a “get the fuck away from my babies” snort. Yesterday I saw and heard a few snakes in the undergrowth beside the River across from Colony. And there was this strange grey bug that flew up to me landed on me and immediately flew off. Hadn’t seen one like it before. Maybe a type of moth but it didn’t stay for more than a moment. It left me filled with wonder and curiosity and feeling tingly. “The moon is almost hidden. The stars are beginning to hide. The fortune telling lady, has even taken all her things inside. All except for Cain and Abel, And the Hunchback of Notre Dame Everybody’s making love or else expecting rain.” - Desolation Row, Bob Dylan The moon is almost hidden. And the fortune tellers have packed in their tarot cards. After all these years listening to that song I still can’t figure if I do or don’t want to live in Desolation Row. Maybe I just know that I do. Or that I don’t but that we do. Maybe. Maybe it’s all around me. Maybe it’s in my heart. Maybe it’s a wild place. Maybe it’s a tragic place. Anyway. The moon is almost hidden and the star’s are hiding. And the really big one is coming into view slowly. It’s eclipse last night was glorious. Fading into the haze over the terrain here at Comeau — I definitely risked glancing at it a few times as it’s brightness was significantly (but not entirely safely probably) dimmed. *** As a word smasher, I was tickled that COMEAU breaks into “Come” and AU — “AU is the chemical symbol for gold” I hear in my mind. “I’ve been working all day over these hellish flames.” Come golden light, wash over this desolate place, bring about new life, shine in dark spaces, help us find our candles and our friends and our dreams and that damn coffee table we keep running into in the dark. “Play until the sun comes up.” Indeed.

Laura Payne

I feel you. I see you. I hear you. I love you, Amanda. Love, light, and joy to you, dearest lady. ❤️❤️❤️

Covid is a strange animal. My wife is a PT in a nursing home. She got covid early on in November of 2020 before there was a vaccine. I got it a few days later from her. She has asthma and is a type 1 diabetic. She had to go on steroids and use her nebulizer and recovered fully after about 3 weeks. I on the other hand laid in bed for 1 day and then was bored and did projects around the house for the mandatory 10 days I had to be home. I ran a fever for 3 days and lost my sense of taste and smell for 3 weeks. Depending on which variant you get exposed to seems to make a difference. Seems to affect everyone differently, need to be careful and listen to your body.

I'm one of those weirdos. I'm a Canadian, and the Westminster parliamentary system, with His Majesty King Charles III at the head of it (represented in Ottawa by the governor general and in the provinces by lieutenant governors) works very well. Our government is very stable, with very few weird kinks (e.g., no electoral college). This is why I'm a monarchist. If Canada became a republic, what would our government look like? Would it work as well as the Westminster system does? However, I'm in a shrinking minority and fully aware of that fact: only 19% of Canadians still want Canada to be a constitutional monarchy according to a poll by Research Co. that was released in March. If my country does eventually leave the Commonwealth, I won't like it, but I'll accept it. I'm also aware of the issues surrounding things like the British monarchy's role in colonialism, something the Government of Canada and several Christian churches have also played a role in (residential schools). I'd love to see the monarchy deal with this issue and play a role in reconciliation, which both the Canadian government and the church are doing. So absolutely, it's possible to be both an Amanda Palmer fan (and I'm still a patron and I still follow her on IG) and a monarchist. I like Amanda's writing and music, and I like government that is stable and works well, I don't have to agree with her, nor she with me, and she has as much a right to her opinions and beliefs as I do to mine.

Love. Take care 💜 🤗 🌈 X

Full stops are overreacted. Love all the sunlight in these photos. Love you.

Hello :) See, I can understand people not always agreeing with everything both with Amanda or anyone else. I think it's more the unfollowing. It's also maybe odd but I feel differently reading your response because 1. You know your reasons 2. I somehow feel different about someone in a different country being pro monarchy like it doesn't sting as much? Maybe that's contradictory of me but it make some sense to me to read your reasoning but I feel very odd about people within London celebrating all the money being spent when there's people going hungry and homeless in the same city. Thanks for a reply that opens a conversation though I appreciate that

I have been worried about similar as I didn't rest enough after getting covid in July 2021 and am now chronically ill/disabled. It's so hard to predict and is not necessarily linked to health and fitness pre covid. Apparently if ppl do get long covid it's best to try to have treatment for it as soon as possible (adding that info in case it's helpful for anyone as I didn't get help soon enough which definitely impacted me more)

I know, I know all this. I am trying very hard to do as little as humanly possible without having to cancel my shows. Love you mom xxxxx

Alex Maizy
>>108142045

love you too kid xx but also, I know you know it, but also, i would definitely be doing things like canceling shows. Which sounds drastic i know. But i currently have long covid and have to cancel so much stuff. i think it's better to take it safe and rest properly initially instead of risk having to be possibly cancelling things for years. And I'm a medium long covid case, i can still walk most days. I also got a Garmin heartrate tracker and seeing the visible data of how unwell i am really brings it home to me

Alex Maizy
>>108142045

Marley -- what sort of treatment? I'm in the UK and there doesn't seem to be anything available so I am interested in what you have found (And sorry you are now chronically ill, it sucks, I'm in the same situation)
