NOTES
Today's playlist is pretty eclectic and great for filling in the backgrounds of your work spaces and dinner tables, but considering that Fourth of July is also happening this week, I ask that you think long and hard about what exactly the United States of America represents. The fourth of July is supposed to be our Independence Day, but how have we put our independence to use? If you have even the slightest notion of what's happening in the world today, you'll know that the US government has been detaining thousands upon thousands of immigrant families fleeing violence and seeking asylum in our country, and forcing them to live in cages without proper access to sanitation, food, and water. When do these people get to claim their own independence from the United States' evil clutches? When will they be free? If you want to play around with roman candles, don't point them at your friends, point them at Border Patrol, point them at ICE agents, point them at this fucking system.

This is the third-to-last episode of BLASST. Thanks for sticking around if you have, if you're just joining us, congratulations on having almost 100 episodes to catch up on. Two weeks left. Space IV next week. Not sure what to do for BLASST 100 yet, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
