hallo loves.

Greetings from Vancouver, Canada... just a super quick missive as i collapse home from TED, to let you know that we've just launched an exclusive shirt in collaboration with Everpress, as part of their Earth Day campaign.

Everpress reached out to me after seeing the video for Drowning in the Sound, and asked if I would contribute a shirt design to their campaign, so we knocked up this shirt based on one of the stills of me and Coco Karol, taken by Krys Fox.

The song was written way back in 2017, using comments from YOU, HERE ON THE PATREON. I threw out a prompt and threaded together the lyrics of the song based on a huge soup of feelings that people shared about hurricane harvey, climate change, the total eclipse, current events and internet politics…. everything. The sound of hope drowned out by a feeling of powerlessness.


ALL profits from this shirt are going to benefit Earth Percent, a charity co-founded by Brian Eno who are doing amazing work for the climate change, raising money from the arts and investing it into improving the environmental impact of the music industry, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fighting for climate justice, and advancing systemic economic policy changes... read more at their website:

earthpercent.org

You can find the shirt HERE - shipping worldwide:

https://www.everpress.com/amanda-palmer-x-earthpercent

The shirt's on pre-order only, and Everpress will be handling all the shipping once the pre-order period ends in ONE WEEK!

At the moment this shirt is ONLY going to be available through Everpress, and printed to order, so get it while it’s there, everyone I love.

and in case you're curious how it looks in person - our uk merch queen alex got sent a sample, and it is indeed looking gorgeous in person:

That's all for now - more soon

Hi hello I just wanted to come somewhere ELSE you might see it.. because I see you on Facebook doing the infamous Amanda Palmer Tour of OverExplaining to the Ill-Informed or Too Stubborn to Read and Reseach. Again. Please do not forget that all of us here, all whatever tenth thousand number it is now, all of us are rallied behind you- your own army of weirdos who would defend your loud ass to the ends of the Earth because we see you for the complex being you are, growing and making mistakes and learning with grace. I implore you to learn NOW, to try to let it wave and ripple off ya, to laugh and jest and let it ride. Do not drown in the sound. Get out of the water. Fuck 'em. I empathize and genuinely understand that terrible feeling of being misunderstood. But those sorts more than likely will not take the time TO understand. I hope you will see some, but I don't expect many to have an Amanda-esque moment of awareness to say in response, "I was wrong. Thank you for explaining." I am sure it is disappointing to never hear/read. That is heavy to hold and not yours to hold anyway, your octoarms are full as fuck loving us, making art, making change. Forge meaning. Don't force shit. I LOVE YOU. We love you so much. Holding you, always.

2023-04-26 03:30:57 I wanted to let you know in case you wanted to call anyone in North Island Aotearoa Hawkes Bay as they just had a 5.9 Earthquake there & another quake on Porangahou Island?. Early details suggest no injuries. Just wanted you to know as quickly as possible. Please forgive me for posting here. Just saw on ABC News just minutes ago. As I said it seems no injuries as it is early news.
