Especially if you’re a library, @JasonIsbell, or @RobertSmith. 👋

I feel like I have to listen to Ghosteen at least once a week or else I’m going to lose touch with something true and painful that I can’t let go of.

Insanity is doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting change. Grief is doing the same thing repeatedly for fear of change.

Huh.

This account doesn’t feel a day over 14.5.

“If you can’t tell your story to another human, find another way … go out into the woods and tell the trees. The wind won’t ask, ‘How are you, really?’ And the trees don’t care if you cry.”

We don’t talk enough about how Daniel Day-Lewis took a three-year hiatus from acting to apprentice as a shoemaker in Italy, then returned to acting with Gangs of New York.

Like, maybe it’s ok to walk away from a career for a minute and try something else?

I’m getting served way too many ads about therapy and burnout.

And not nearly enough ads about more comfortable pillows.

In real estate listings, “newer” means “less new.”

Just thinking about how weird that is.

Laissez les bon temps rouler.

i am

so tired

I grew up on arena-era Cure in a time when everyone I knew was into grunge.

Which is why it is wild that I am sitting here working to a playlist based off of Boy Meets Girl's "Waiting for a Star to Fall," which includes Mr. Mister's "Kyrie" and Level 42's "Something About You."

Truly one of the great cultural shifts in my lifetime.

“Sometimes, making friends is tough. And sometimes, it’s as easy as finding someone who likes books and kittens as much as you do.” ~ @DanGemeinhart, The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise

Even after these past few weeks, it’s wild to see it happening.

14 years is a long time.

Every Stars album is a great album, but this one is a desert island disc for me.

Is there a way to get rid of the superimposed tweets on the new @Twitter video display? @TwitterSupport

My first 15 scrobbles on @lastfm.

This was a Wednesday, so I probably was at work. Mostly back then, scrobbling meant plugging my iPod Nano into my computer after listening all day and using a desktop scrobbler to grab data from iTunes and ship it to <a href="http://Last.fm." class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://Last.fm.

Just remembered this excellent song.

“Drinking coffee through a straw.”
