hey loves. 


(see what I did there?)


jack and I just finished signing over 1,000 vinyl records and CDs - they're all mostly for you...they look BEAUTIFUL. the album comes out July 16th you'll get a link that day, and the physical soooon after. 


i can't wait for you to finally hear what we've been keeping secret for almost a year. to everything turn turn turn. it feels like the right moment for this album to come out. it's a little spark of light. 


I owe you a long catch-up and it's coming....I'm totally depleted from a few weeks of non-stop in-breath and travel and baby and headbanging. right now, an article that made me happy and sad:


one  of my life's most enduring heartbreaking mental images, framed above my mind's sad back mantelpiece alongside a monk on fire and a human child face down in sand on a beach....

man...those baby monkeys, clutching their cloth wire mother. you know the ones. 


it kills me every time, thinking about those little ones. having a baby definitely hasn't changed that. it's even more heartbreaking. 


we need love, guys. 


it's feeing so dark out there. 


we need so much love.


i remember talking about this experiment with anthony. i miss him so much right now. he suffered at the hands of a mother with those brass spikes - he spent a lifetime as a psychologist trying to sand over the scars. i want my friend back. moments like this are the worst. i want to email this article to him, but I can't. he's still so dead.


so I'm giving it to you guys instead. you're alive. right? right. and so am i. 


thanks maria, for texting it over. i know you're reading. you're alive too.

okay. I'll catch up more completely when I'm not collapsed in a heap. shit is happening. 


by the by....goodnight moon almost every night on periscope if you're game. it's my small contribution to the combatting the insanity of human darkness right now.

ps. you're alive.

Thank you. Take good care.

Love, love, love. The article made me think about how children who are taken into care rarely do as well as those who stay with their parents. Although their parents may treat them badly, they are their parents and the children really struggle with being taken away. This is challenged during the article too though.

Also, I'm glad to see you smile at whatever your Dad is saying. I went to see *the incomparable* Carole King in Hyde Park last Sunday. I went with my Mum and Dad as it was my Dad who made me love Tapestry. During the day, my Dad was racist and homophobic on several occasions and also assaulted two women who bumped into him. I also know that he voted out of the EU. The only thing I could do to make the space a little better was to go to one of the assaulted women. I didn't know what to say, but I knew I had to show her that I stood with her. I told her "At least he's not your Dad!" and she thought I was joking! Once she realised, she apologised, as she'd been making faces and gestures (she was very drunk) at my Dad since the incident, but I told her she had no need to apologise. He shouldn't have pushed her the way he did. I told her, don't worry about it, just enjoy the rest of the show. I hope she did. When I went back to my parents, my Mum asked what I said to her. I said I told her: He's ruined my night too. This week my Dad sent me a text to say thank you, he thought it was a good day. I haven't replied. Mum said she hoped Dad didn't ruin it too much. They have no idea. It was white male privilege in all it's glory and I hate it.

Sorry for that long post. In short: parents suck! The best we can do is become better people than they were, which we will, because we don't want to be them. Best thing a psych has ever said to me. Love Xx

I had a wire monkey mother. I'm 45 and her snipped ends still snag my clothes when I lean in for a kiss. Skin can never be thick enough to numb the pain of milk without eyes, without flesh, without living in sin without judgment.

Alive and sending Much Love. Guess Who's Going To See Amanda Palmer &amp; Her Dad Next Tuesday at (le) poisson rouge in NYC?

The whole book is very well written, both well worth the read and an interesting overview of Harlow's work. I'd warn that it can be a very emotionally taxing read in places, but definitely worthwhile.

Haven't received my signed vinyl yet—not sure if I should be worried that it's lost in the post? has anyone else received theirs?

Interestingly, this experiment literally destroyed him. He was obsessed with it to the point that it alienated him from his colleagues. Also, those little guys, when introduced to well-adjusted young monkeys, had no ability to socialize or cope. Videos showed them cowering in corners. Yes, it proved his point, but at what cost for those little lives?
