Suddenly every machine stopped at once
And the monitors beeped the last time
Hundreds of thousands of hospital beds
And all of them empty but mine
Well, I was lying down with my feet in the air
Completely unable to move
The bed was misshapen, and awkward and tall
And clearly intended for you
You checked yourself out when you put me to bed
And tore that old band off your wrist
But you came back to see me for a minute or less
And left me your ring in my fist
My hair started growing, my face became yours
My femur was breaking in half
The sensation was scissors and too much to scream
So instead, I just started to laugh

Cowboy Sadness -Selected Jambient Works Vol.1 (2024)
É muito mais fácil ouvir do que escrever sobre Selected Jambient Works Vol.1. Mesmo assim, tal a magia do que se sente nesse álbum, resolvemos arriscar. Se vos parecer etérea, a escrita, lembrem-se do verso de Sá-Carneiro: “É no ar que ondeia tudo! É lá que tudo existe!” Pode ser que assim faça mais sentido este texto.

Hunter College is part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system. Last year, students from Hunter College's Silberman School of Social Work circulated a letter calling for Silberman to “rescind its support for anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic statements issued by Hunter College and CUNY leadership” and demanding the school endorse the Not On Our Dime! campaign as well as the BDS movement. More recently, the CUNY Palestine solidarity encampment that was located on the City College of NY (CCNY) campus was violently raided at the beginning of this month.
Students at the Silberman School of Social Work graduation ceremony turn their back in protest to Dean Mary Cavanaugh as she takes the podium.
They briefly chant *Free Palestine* as people applaud the Dean's words, but mainly stand silent.

In the middle of the night I was sleeping sitting up
When a doctor came to tell me, "Enough is enough."
He brought me out into the hall, I could have sworn it was haunted
And told me something that I didn't know that I wanted:
To hear that there was nothing that I could do to save you
The choir's gonna sing, and this thing is gonna kill you
Something in my throat made my next words shake
And something in the wires made the light-bulbs break
There was glass inside my feet and raining down from the ceiling
It opened up the scars that had just finished healing
It tore apart the canyon running down your femur
I thought that it was beautiful, it made me a believer
And as it opened I could hear you howling from your room
But I hid out in the hall until the hurricane blew
When I reappeared and tried to give you something for the pain
You came to hating me again and just sang your refrain:
You had a new dream, it was more like a nightmare
You were just a little kid, and they cut your hair
Then they stuck you in machines, you came so close to dying
They should have listened, they thought that you were lying
Your daddy was an asshole and he fucked you up
Built the gears in your head, now he greases them up
And no one paid attention when you just stopped eating
"Eighty-seven pounds!" and this all bears repeating
Tell me when you think that we became so unhappy
Wearing silver rings with nobody clapping
When we moved here together we were so disappointed
Sleeping out of tune with our dreams disjointed
It killed me to see you getting always rejected
But I didn't mind the things you threw, the phones I deflected
I didn't mind you blaming me for your mistakes
I just held you in the door-frame through all of the earthquakes
But you packed up your clothes in that bag every night
I would try to grab your ankles, what a pitiful sight
But after over a year, I stopped trying to stop you from stomping out that door
Coming back like you always do
Well no one's gonna fix it for us, no one can
You say that "No one's gonna listen, no one understands."
And so there's no open doors, there's no way to get through
There's no other witnesses, just us two
There's two people living in one small room
From your two half-families tearing at you
Two ways to tell the story, no one worries
Two silver rings on our fingers in a hurry
Two people talking inside your brain
Two people believing that I'm the one to blame
Two different voices coming out of your mouth
While I'm too cold to care and too sick to shout...
