I’ve been going through my concert ticket stubs and adding them to setlist.fm. Unfortunately, a good chunk of my early concerts aren’t on there! So, I’m posting some of the stubs here for archival purposes.
Do note that The Juliana Hatfield Three opened for The B-52’s at the Dana Center Gym in Waltham, MA. That was a great show.
Honestly this is were we need to be
I always wanted to grow up in a tribe just like the top ⤴️ film 🎥 apocolypto . From as long as I can remember.i loved being naked as a child tilll quite old like 8/10 .it’s followed me into adult wood tbh. When I was in my 29s .and I was fucking this person that person and just oeriobally bring fun and crazy.
Enjoy your 20s(and was fun) man. But the other world will burn to ground in telling you. Stuff that’s coming out eg thr epstein, shit eg Hollywood get the idea out your head nobody .rg celeb is safe that’s y feels like nobody gives a shit the high ups are advised to say nothing , pr I mean the mirror meaning cliet even c they get think it’s caller ceast and dercist.
But western culture well not all had it so wrong and obviously oriblens in these cultures.I just love the strong women bring idoliczer and being the unsung hero .because pochohontas is such a free spirit 💫.and herbliyal loving tribe voo doo , plus different kind of religions 🛐.because these people and I know they have this in Australia with Aborigines.

Anyway we will get to point I already see it .we’re people aren’t taking this anymore.
When night becomes heavy, I break a hole
in the bag of the universe and climb out.
I tell you I struggle to keep the wind
from disturbing Jupiter’s moons, lacquered
and hung carefully to dry, else night would fill
with dissonant chimes.
Who knew the universe would end up as tangled
planets, how the strings that hold us would wrap
around our wrists. You ask where I am
headed in such a hurry? To find the scissors
to cut the knots. All morning the otter has been
tying the kelp strands into bows.
The sea becomes the gift we open tenderly
where orcas stitch and patch, making room
for their young, blessing the moon as they swim
through her light. Because the sky tells us
we must hurry, I knit my worries into a chain
of grasshoppers, a lifeline in this diorama of ours
to save us from unmooring.

‘They’ve gone too far’: Archbishop slams Tribe Carnival for giving adult sex toys to women masqueraders
Archbishop Charles Jason Gordon has condemned Tribe Carnival for including an adult sex toy in goodie bags handed out to women masqueraders, calling the move “beyond the line” and a sign that Trinidad Carnival has descended into “hedonism.”
Delivering Mass at the Archbishop’s Chapel, Gordon said the festival, once a vibrant celebration of community and culture, has now been overtaken by commercial interests. He warned that if Carnival bands cannot regulate themselves, the government may need to step in.
“Tribe Carnival has gone too far,” Gordon repeated, referring to the inclusion of the palm-sized clitoral suction toy, shaped like a flower and called “The Rose,” in the packages distributed during Carnival. “Our country is not for sale, and our young people are not for sale. We must put guardrails in place for our children.”
The archbishop stressed that Carnival has always reflected the nation’s spirit, but recent trends, especially in the big business and fete sectors, have shifted the focus from artistry and culture to profit and sensationalism.
Responding to the criticism, Tribe Carnival CEO Dean Ackin defended the decision, saying the initiative was intended as a playful, memorable gesture coinciding with Valentine’s Day. “Carnival is about freedom, expression, fun and a little mischief,” Ackin said. “Our masqueraders understand that with Tribe, there’s always an element of joy and surprise.”
Gordon, however, urged citizens to push back against what he called a moral and cultural slide, saying Trinidad Carnival must return to being a celebration of life, creativity, and community.
“This is about protecting our young people and preserving the soul of Carnival,” he said. “If the company won’t dial it back, then citizens must call on the government to regulate it. Hashtag: Tribe gone too far.”— By Joel Julien, Trinidad Express

Four Simple Thoughts on Forgiveness
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
—Matthew 6:14–15 (NIV)
Forgiveness is a conscious decision.
Jesus once said something that stops most of us in our tracks:
“If you forgive others, God will forgive you. If you don’t, He won’t.”

Question of the Day: What has…
According to Junger, Humans Don’t Mind Hardship
But they mind not feeling necessary. Imagine being surrounded by people and still feeling lonely!
So, I picked up Tribe because people had good things to say about it — the kind that clarified something they’d been feeling for a while. I was already thinking about community and belonging when I started reading, which made the book feel uncomfortably timely.
Junger opens with a deceptively simple idea:
Humans don’t mind hardship; what they mind is not feeling necessary.
Modern society, he argues, has become very good at making people feel unnecessary. We are safer, more independent, more materially secure, and increasingly disconnected.
[[MORE]]The appeal of tribal life isn’t nostalgia for suffering, but dissatisfaction with modern isolation. As societies grow more affluent, people gain autonomy but lose interdependence. Personal property and individual choice allow us to live without needing one another. You can be surrounded by people and still feel profoundly alone.
Junger links this to psychology and biology. Humans need to feel competent, authentic, and connected. Modern life supports the first two well enough. The third is where things thin out. Community shrinks as authority expands. Responsibility is replaced by rules. Moral decisions are absorbed by systems rather than lived through relationships.
Where Tribe is most persuasive is in its discussion of hardship and solidarity. Drawing from disaster psychology and war, Junger shows how shared adversity can dissolve hierarchy and create intense cohesion. Helping others is hormonally rewarding. In those moments, people feel purposeful, alive, necessary.
Junger is particularly strong when writing about trauma. One of the book’s most sobering insights is that lack of social support predicts PTSD more reliably than the severity of trauma itself. People don’t recover in isolation; they recover when they return to places where they are still needed. Modern societies tend to individualise suffering while stripping away the communal structures that once absorbed it.
Later, Tribe turns toward power and exclusion. Junger defines community simply: the people you would help feed and defend. Any group that doesn’t allow its members to act selflessly in these ways, he argues, isn’t a tribe in any meaningful sense. Contempt, rather than criticism, is what corrodes groups most, especially when directed at those already excluded. The ultimate betrayal of a tribe is using power to quietly excommunicate others.
Many modern communities operate on unspoken expectations — consistency, emotional regulation, social fluency — that are not neutral. Belonging becomes conditional. When performance drops, so does visibility. Junger captures the longing for tribe accurately; access to it is not evenly distributed.
I don’t reject Junger’s argument. Tribe matters because it gives language to a quiet loss many people feel but can’t easily explain. It doesn’t offer solutions so much as clarity. The question it leaves behind isn’t whether we belong. It’s whether we are necessary to one another and what it means when we aren’t.
“The loneliest thing isn’t being alone. It’s being surrounded by people who only know the performance of you.”
Isn’t that the truth? Having to perform for a connection or relationship is one of the most hollowing experiences out there. You don’t have to do that, though. It’s okay to pass up those people who will only make you feel empty by trying to connect with them. Your tribe is out there. They will fully accept you for who you are and will fulfill your need for connection without making you feel empty.
