My old band Break of Dawn put out a record 25 years ago on One Day Savior Recordings.
@robertsesquire included it in @lambgoat.bsky.social's 25 in ‘25 series series.
Here’s us around 2000 and a link to the article.

and here's one of the later Lethargy tracks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkVw...
Hopefully, this will be reissued someday.
This was the EP we released on One Day Saviour Records in 2000: break-of-dawn.bandcamp.com/album/figure...
This reminds me that someone in my old band created a Bandcamp site for the EP, 7", and demos we recorded and released in the early 00s.
This was a demo we recorded at Buffalo's Watchmen studios:

I lived in Buffalo in the late 90s and spent many weekends in Rochester. So I was surprised that Lethargy didn't make the article, but I don't think their music really got noticed as much as it did in Western NY at the time.
and this got be down a rabbit hole looking for anything Breadwinner-related that I don't have and I found this interesting rehearsal recorded after they recorded their only album: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea2s...
Nice article on Math Rock in Bandcamp Daily highlighting Breadwinner, Don Caballero, June of 44, and some others.

He says Christian nationalists don't want their own accrediting organization, but to force the rest of higher education to accept their radical beliefs.
Bob Shireman latest Chronicle piece warns of what we might expect of Linda McMahon's USDE in the upcoming 90 days for higher ed.
He suggests two possibilities: 1) a wilder west for accreditation--more accreditors and competition; and 2) Christian Nationalism...

Mentally preparing myself to serve on an accreditation review team.
The Heritage Foundation says it’s a “cartel” and I hope this time I’ll get in on some of riches—because so far, all I’ve gotten at these things are Panera sandwiches and mediocre coffee.
The @chronicle.com asked 59 colleges under investigation by ED how they would respond if they got a list of demands like Columbia. Nobody would answer the questions, and one university (Wisconsin) called them "ridiculous."
We'll find out how they actually respond soon enough.
The USDE is about half the size it was two weeks ago and it's expected that there will be an executive order to close it today. Again, it would need 60 votes in congress to legally close the department.

The tiniest red carpet in a puddle for Rubio. 🤣
The Trump administration is investigating at least 60 colleges for “antisemitism,” which critics say is mainly about squashing pro-Palestine activism.
“Colleges have an obligation to stand up and protect their students,” says former Education Department official Tariq Habash.
Yes, it sounds like Schumer is selling out the Dems again. :(
I like their French tuck styling.
CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.
Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.
Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
I've got you: Laura Secord chocolates, named after the Canadian heroine who walked 20 miles through enemy territory to warn the British of an American attack, helping secure a crucial victory in the War of 1812.

I love this story and seeing how many people are using this picture. Great point that effective protest isn't necessarily about endurance.
Hope Rusty got a nice walk and some good treats.
Legalize comedy
The cuts to the USDE is problematic for many reasons and the department was understaffed before this administration.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

The Trump administration warned 60 universities on Monday that they could face penalties from pending investigations into antisemitism on college campuses, a threat sharpened in recent days by its cancellation of funding to Columbia University and the arrest of a protest leader there.
