Hello & Welcome
Hey new reader, this is Alynda Mariposa Segarra. Thanks for your interest in Resist Psychic Death. If you don’t know my music, I’ve been writing and performing songs under the moniker Hurray for the Riff Raff for close to two decades. I'm originally from the Bronx, but started my band in New Orleans after a years of vagabonding my way around the U.S.
Resist Psychic Death
Social media platforms hurt my soul. I want to be able to communicate in a way that is less harmful for the both of us.
Resist Psychic Death is the name of one of my favorite Bikini Kill songs, a song that changed me on a cellular level when I was a kid. I chose this name because it says perfectly what I want to build here.
I'll resist with every inch and every breath
I'll resist this psychic death
It’s difficult to live of intention, beauty, romance, aliveness, and empathy. As time goes on, I find it more challenging and the road ahead of me becomes more & more unpaved and wild.
Weekly Reading
So this is a space I will be carving out for myself. To gather all that keeps my spirit lifted and reminds me what is most important to me. Most social media only leads me further away from what I care about. I end up in a doom scroll that leaves me feeling terrible about myself. So let’s try something different.
Once a week you will receive notes from the road and travel writings, deep dives into my songs and the stories behind them. What I'm most recently obsessed with in film, music and the latest book I'm reading in the van.
Why pay for this?
Paid subscription will get you the good stuff no one gets to hear.
Demo versions of songs, covers, playlists and other treats from my vault.
Thank you for supporting me in my work not just with writing but on the road and in my music. Receiving support is a beautiful vulnerable experience.
Please share with friends far & wide.
