MUSICat architect and founder at Rabble LLC

I work with public librarians who collect and share local music with their communities and visitors.

MUSICat is a turnkey online platform, built with and for public libraries. Each instance is a library-convened locally-governed digital public space to collect, curate, license, and stream local music.

MUSICat is designed to respect artists and support art with its paid artist-friendly licenses for invited album submissions.

“Dorothea Salo [ the awesome @dsalo@digipres.club here en la fedi ] a cybersecurity expert and UW-Madison professor, says Dane County’s data sharing agreements add another layer of concern”

» “They can’t promise that [data won’t be used for immigration enforcement] if they’re sharing the data with anyone, unless there’s a contract with every single organization they’re sharing with” «

👉🏻 “You can’t stop that third party doing whatever the heck they want, including sharing with ICE” 👈🏻

"HR 7661 isn’t fundamentally about protecting kids. It’s about giving politicians broad authority to restrict whose stories are allowed” "Rather than targeting librarians and teachers, Congress should invest in them. The Right to Read Act offers a better path, supporting well-staffed and well-resourced school libraries, strengthening evidence-based literacy instruction, and protecting the dedicated professionals who help young people discover books that open doors” https://www.ala.org/news/2026/02/ala-denounces-HR-7661

Republicans don't need to find a backbone. Republicans found a backbone. Republicans aren't being cowards. Republicans are being bold. Republicans didn't get captured by a fascist movement. Republicans captured a fascist moment. Republicans aren't failing to do what their conscience is telling them must be done. Republicans are doing what their conscience is telling them must be done. Republicans aren't little white children who've been lied to. Republican are lying to little white children.
