A confounding mess of humanity just surviving and vibing. Loves music, the San Antonio Spurs, Minnesota Vikings, Aston Villa FC, other assorted odds and ends. Leftist socialist ally intolerant of intolerance. Love is love.

That's why I posted this image the other day. Chances are good trans youth will be safe in the listed states, so it might be prudent for families with trans children to move to the nearest listed city.

I sincerely hope that if you're LGBTQIA+ that you live in the following states. The next few years are going to be a near train wreck, but if you live in these states at least you'll have a protective bubble surrounding you.

I found this on r/LeopardsAteMyFace under the heading of "All We Wanted Was to Constantly Attack Biden, Harris, and the Democrats! Not Give Trump the Presidency!"

Leopards, meet face.

In case you were wondering why Donald is stocking his cabinet with wildly unqualified people with heads full of dangerous and destructive ideas, Project 2025 is all about sabotaging government and this is his objective:

That guy off to the right just passively watching what's going on is chickenshit and needs to donate his gonads to Roshanak since she's the only one who has the balls to defend herself. Fuck theocracy.

It's perfect football weather out there. And SKOL!

My late mom knew someone who was selling off cheap computers he got from a "business closing" sale, so she got me one. I had just entered my teen years, and the guy installed Windows 3.1 on the PC. It didn't have speakers, couldn't play audio or video. I'm old.

From an uncharacteristically warm autumn to a sudden plunge into winter over the course of the last week or so... yup, it's Minnesota all right. This is a terrible photo of me with my hair all in a mess, wearing a nice, warm coat while waiting for a prescription refill at my pharmacy:

You need to accept that your body has very recently sustained a lot of trauma, and part of the healing process needs to include proper pain management. It will not only keep you comfortable, it will also enable you to move around the affected area more, which will aid in the recovery period.

This is Clark Gable erasure, and also some pretty tiresome bait

DoorDash always encourages me to do a "DoubleDash" order (ordering from two different places in the same order, usually in the same path to/from my home), but I've never been shown a plea to buy one specific item. I use my phone to place orders and have an ad block app installed on it.

You're KIDDING me

Diane Aguilar (she/her) @bothendsburning.bsky.social · Nov 20

I was actually Gifted But Not Talented. You'd have wanted me to tutor you but you wouldn't have wanted to hear me sing, or play a musical instrument, or act, or dance.

This just made me tear up in laughter IRL

The Ultra Vivid Matt Lament @mattlament.bsky.social · Nov 20

Back before I was old enough to drive, I was playing Joy Division on the car CD player while my mom drove me somewhere. When she picked me up to bring me back home later and I asked if I could put on some music, she said "As long as it's not The Happiness Club again..."

Using this as a start: what are your favorite examples of unconscious/unforced dad-or-mom shade about your musical tastes? Just something said immediately or off the cuff. Spill all your secrets!

Diane Aguilar (she/her) @bothendsburning.bsky.social · Nov 20

Just literally laughed out loud. Stand up comedians would kill for that kind of a line.

There are many music journalists I know on this site who have extensive "following" lists, and who offer truly engaging content. Sucks to know Eric Alper isn't one of those, is all.

"... and it was then that little Andy McCluskey and little Paul Humphreys knew that little Bobby Gillespie could never be their friend."

I remembered something else! I tried to get my mom into romantic standards-era Bryan Ferry, but all she did was yawn and beg for me to put something else on, which I did by playing David Sylvian's Gone to Earth. That was greeted with a loud, exasperated groan. I thought she liked crooners.

[insert requisite "Oh no, Philip Glass was banned there too?"-type comment here]

(I love Philip Glass.)

Is... is there something wrong with this person? Like, maybe she needs a therapist and perhaps also a brief vacation from social media?
