Is “Scholar of Eldritch Tomes and Lore” too over the top to put in my bio?
Thoroughly enjoying this short and very autumnal trip to Madison, WI. Tomorrow I’ll venture deeper into my alma mater, @uwmadison.bsky.social and @wsum.bsky.social. 🍂 🦡
BTW: This is a very dumb song I wrote called “Human Aquarium.” It was about watching the cool kids in the quad from the library above. But who was inside and who was outside of the aquarium??? 🐠
My book’s LOC call number. Having this made the whole publication process feel truly final last year.

Incidentally, “GR” seems appropriate for a book about dragons 🐉
Fast-forward 2 years: I was fully an acolyte of Stewart Copeland and actually knew the material. Progress.
According to legend, the emo-punk trio I drummed for circa 1997, Sixty Second Skill, won “Worst to Ever Perform Here” at Voodoo Jive Records in Bannockburn, IL.

I literally did not know any of our songs. Just general beats the bassist/simger would cue me on.

I think about this sometimes. 🥁 🖤

D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.

Gonna miss the #WTFPod. But I know @marcmaron.bsky.social himself isn’t going anywhere. He’s a man fueled by productive anxiety, nosy yet respectful curiosity, and ancestral oddness that cannot be destroyed by conventional weapons. In other words, a true kindred spirit, and why I love him.

Brown University apparently needs input before (possibly) showing the spine that MIT did in not kowtowing to Trump.

Okay. It’s true that I have a master’s in Portuguese and Brazilian studies. But at no point during my degree program did it come up that there is still a distinct Germanic language spoken in southern Brazil called Hunsrik. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunsrik... 🇩🇪 🇧🇷

As a button maker/fan myself I am here for this. Have you heard of the @busybeaverbuttonco.bsky.social Button Museum in Chicago?
Had a lovely time this past Saturday at the annual Strut in East Atlanta Village with my newspaper crew. We raised almost $500 in sales of raffle tickets, T-shirt, and even the odd direct donation. Festival season in Atlanta is long and glorious! We’ll be back at Ormewood Park Makers Fest on 10/18.
