"Music is about exchanging energy and ideas. It is still very profound seeing people take the songs deeply into themselves and their lives, and profound when they revel in the songs that they are already possessing. It’s so affirming and that connection is what makes our existence." Read more in this interview with Missoulian in advance of Wednesday's show at The Wilma.

"I hope for any kid that is struggling with the world around them, in whatever way, that some adult has the wherewithal to hand them an instrument or some kind of tool of self-expression, because my guitar was my best friend, from the minute somebody put it in my hands. And I just don’t know that I would have been able to navigate the way that I did without it." Hear from Ani on her life and memoir in this interview with Democracy Now!

day off in columbia, missouri today... wanted to share this: “Pregnancy, entered into willingly, is an act of generosity, a commitment to share the resources of life with another incipient being. Such generosity is in no other circumstances required by law. No matter how much you need a kidney donation, the law will not force another person to give you one. Consent, in the form of a donor card, is required even to remove organs from a dead body. If the foetus is a person, it is a person with a vastly expanded set of legal rights, rights available to no other class of citizen: the foetus may make free, non-consensual use of another living person’s uterus and blood supply, and cause permanent, unwanted changes to another person’s body. In the relationship between foetus and woman, the woman is granted fewer rights than a corpse. But it’s possible that the ban on abortion has less to do with the rights of the unborn child than with the threat to social order represented by women in control of their reproductive lives.” — Sally Rooney, London Review of Books

reproductive freedom must be understood and protected as a civil (or even human) right, without which women cannot be free or achieve equality within society. religious leaders can try to convince women that they should not have abortions but they cannot force all women to subscribe to their patriarchal religious creed. it is not the job of government to enforce religious creeds but it is the job of government to protect the civil rights of its citizens. any court worth its salt should find these new abortion bans unconstitutional.

Tonight, the May book tour for No Walls and the Recurring Dream wraps up with a stop at New Orleans JCC. Read about the memoir and Ani's relationship with NOLA in this interview with The New Orleans Advocate.
