So, my old buddy Matt teaches Canadian kids how to play rock'n'roll music- and if we could make THIS song the Theme Music of the Revolution, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your consideration.

trying out earplugs that supposedly mitigate migraines caused by barometric pressure fluctuations -- I'm on my last ubrelvy b/c UHC decided I only needed 8 pills this month instead of 10, which is never enough anyway -- and honestly, I think the Dosist calm vape is doing most of the heavy lifting.

i got added to a catch-all "zionists, karens, etc" list by someone after Manchester and when I went to look at their profile, they were already blocked by the "uses the term zios" blocklist. touché!

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

yesss, make 'em squirm. i've recently noticed an uptick in friendly nods and greetings from other people also wearing masks (in NYC, at least).

I gotta say, there's a lot more ice climbing in this biography of Crowley than I'd anticipated.

the equivalent of when your vet wants you to start bringing in your elderly pet every six months because things are speeding up.

so, so many. and then there are the times I could have used a much more rigorous edit, but the editor was overworked/underpaid/in a time crunch or maybe just too nice to kill the assignment entirely.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

@samtlevin.bsky.social did a really lovely profile and interview with Miss Major in June of 2023:

"Her doormats say “Welcome bitches”, “Fuck off”, “Come back with a warrant” and “Home, where the ho & me come together”."

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 2d

I've gotta stop getting on this app right after I wake up. I want to open my eyes, read about the world, and find some kind of large-scale hope, and there's so little here, or anywhere else (yes I am following the feed you're about to mention). I am so exhausted and scared, and internet doesn't help

classic. They should talk to my friend's daughter, who fumed that her parents looked like they were going to a FUNERAL instead of her high school graduation. (I also looked like I was going to a funeral but was somehow exempt from the fury.)

The music slaps and Scully is hot, but Tron: Ares is nothing more than corporate whitewashed AI apologia. Yet even that pales next to the ethically bleak desperation it has to rehabilitate Jared Leto's much-deserved reputation as an actual piece of shit. Fuck him, fuck Disney, and fuck this film.

A vast majority of Texas outlets’ coverage of queer life in the focuses on our disenfranchisement, but queer people in Texas aren’t always victims of a tragedy. Often we’re the hero, the performer, the jokester, the observer. We want to tell those stories too.
