hallo my loves
greetings from seattle where i’m taking some down time with my bestie jason webley. i popped up on stage at a bar with him at a little perfect red-lit joint called the hotel albatross in ballard ...
we didn’t really rehearse. well, that’s not exactly true. here we are rehearsing for like 8 minutes in the parking lot behind the venue.
we were terrible! it was awesome. we played “electric blanket“ and “elephant elephant” and then did a scratchy-voiced version of “in my mind".
i got to see the local legend baby gramps play his bizzaro and beautiful pun-ridden songs, and my friend lady rizo stopped by which made me so happy...here we all are:

here is dan.
talk to me.
!!! speaking of my podcast, one of my upcoming guests, jamil zaki, has HIS BOOK COMING OUT TODAY. it’s called “The War For Kindness"
and i read it in preparation of our interview - it’s really incredible, i highly recommend it.

"Empathy is in short supply. Isolation and tribalism are rampant. We struggle to understand people who aren’t like us, but find it easy to hate them. Studies show that we are less caring than we were even thirty years ago. In 2006, Barack Obama said that the United States is suffering from an “empathy deficit.” Since then, things only seem to have gotten worse.
It doesn’t have to be this way. In this groundbreaking book, Jamil Zaki shares cutting-edge research, including experiments from his own lab, showing that empathy is not a fixed trait—something we’re born with or not—but rather a skill that can be strengthened through effort. He also tells the stories of people who embody this new perspective, fighting for kindness in the most difficult of circumstances. We meet a former neo-Nazi who is now helping extract people from hate groups, ex-prisoners discussing novels with the judge who sentenced them, Washington police officers changing their culture to decrease violence among their ranks, and NICU nurses fine-tuning their empathy so that they don’t succumb to burnout.
Written with clarity and passion, The War for Kindness is an inspiring call to action. The future may depend on whether we accept the challenge."
