DEAR ONES

love from outside the mona museum.

have i mentioned here how fucking grateful i am to get to live in a museum for a week? espeically a museum like THIS...a museum of sex and death with no labels on ANYTHING. it's perfect. i can't wait for tonight's show. both are sold out, and i'm playing in the same gallery that i recorded in the other night. i'm living a bohemian fantasy at the moment. plus there is a vineyard so everyone is always trying to give me wine. 

back to biz - THANK YOU so much, my god, for all the input and advice and contacts in the last thread re: asia/africa/europe/refugee/what...i've been going through EVERYTHING...https://www.patreon.com/posts/8045648...and responded to a ton of you.

i think the top of the list right now is probably GREECE - lesbos in particular, it looks like we have enough contacts and ideas, it's easy to get to, there are some smaller orgs there that could hopefully use the signal boost...STAY TUNED. shit is afoot. things will be done. things will be thinged. you will be called upon to go on this adventure with us, so....yeah. life. in. real time.

SPEAKING OF WHICH...my misadventures on periscope from the mona museum the other night have been viewed by 80k people, leaving me distraught that i was so tipsy (lies) but ACTUALLY sorry that the lighting was SO TERRIBLE. so i'm going to try to make up for that TONIGHT AT THE GIG by wielding my phone before the show starts and doing a FACEBOOK LIVE stream. yes, i hate facebook, and i will still use their tools. and then perhaps before the show TOMORROW, i will periscope.

so tonight (around 7:30/8pm hobart time - which is in about 5 hours from NOW) tune into facebook and watch for a feed. i'll also tweet a link to the live feed.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BE ON FACEBOOK TO WATCH FACEBOOK LIVE. 

just tune in here: https://www.facebook.com/amandapalmer, and/or watch twitter for a link.

.....

hinjinks are coming.

i love you

God our "little" community is fantastic - I'm so glad all the contacts came in, can't wait to see what you do on the refugee situation.

Sadly, when I hear about Tasmania, all I can think about is how they completely exterminated the native aboriginals and most of the mammals on that island in less than a lifetime. Truganini. Tasmanian Tiger. Australia has one of the world's worst policies towards refugees and immigrants. While we all tend the focus on the Mediterranean and the Balkans as places with an exponential refugee crisis, yet, Australia persists with an inhumane, draconian response to refugees. Nauru Island. Australia is still suffering from the ghosts of the Rabbit Fence, whites only immigration. Amanda don't forget the evil crap happening in your host country. You're rather quiet about it. Everyone is. It's under the radar cause of Cheeto Jesus in the states, and Brexit and Le Pen in Europe. Sunlight is the best disenfectant, shine some there.

If you want to make a refugee camp visit, forget Greece, or Jordan, go to Nauru, its becoming Australia's Belsen or Treblinkka. Oder Macht Frei.

The periscope provided me with some comfort this morning.

I starting looking into Tasmania as a result. My community stands with Standing Rock &amp; you reminded me to look transnationally. I thought I'd share this that I found, because it is beautiful &amp; inspiring. blessings&amp;take care, peace,kim g.

Why am I not surprised that you chose Lesbos?

I imagine it would be impossibly hard to get access to the detention centre on Nauru. Federal MP's and the media have tried, and been refused access. Aside from that, from all reports, it doesn't sound like the sort of place you'd want to be taking a baby. But I agree, it wouldn't hurt to put more of a spotlight on the Australian government's inhumane treatment of the asylum seekers..

Totally Off-Topic, but just in case you haven't come across Sparrow Folk in all your time here in the land of Drop Bears, I think you'll get a kick out of their new song. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y802t8y0URc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y802t8y0URc</a>

Thanks for a great show at MONA last Saturday Night - we really enjoyed it and it was great to say Hi to you after the show.
