watching old episodes of New Wave Theatre had me digging into the unsolved murder of Peter Ivers and how many suspected David Jove which led me to a TV special Jove produced called "The Top" featuring Andy Kaufman as host and was Andy's final appearance before his death.

saw Stereophonic at the Curran last night, and I was surprised at how much I liked it.

Still, I'd love to know which motherfucker saw me and Beth Wilmurt do the Cassandra Sessions in 2021 and said "that! but make it less weird and about Fleetwood Mac."

Poetically nailing the COVID era in all its claustrophobia, futility, and mansplaining... with Malvina Reynolds' folk songs.

Is it perimenopause, parenthood, the pandemic, or the collapse of the American empire? In this conversation,
@emmaruthless.bsky.social and @nuala.bsky.social unpack post-40 hormones, the failure of Western medicine to serve people with uteruses, and what's keeping them up at night.
Perimenopause, Fascism, and Other Reasons We’re Not Sleeping
Emma and Nuala try to figure out if they’re perimenopausal, wonder if it’s anxiety or the end of the American empire, and designate Tori Amos as their menopause cult leader.

Meantime, a heads up for fellow SF/Bay Area folks tomorrow here.
Storms like this could disrupt power. Charge phones, have flashlights ready, and plan for medical needs. Transit & traffic disruptions likely. Avoid walking near trees, especially in parks. sf.gov/storms

暴風雨可能導致斷電。請將手機充好電,電筒準備好,並為任何緊急醫療需要做好準備 。或出現道路堵塞或阻斷交通。避免靠近樹木行走,特別是在公園裏。sf.gov/zh-hant/storms

First time I met Rat Bastard, around Y2K, he had just been hit by a car in LA the night before and came away unscathed. Hoping for a similarly positive outcome.

the target is: journalism
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.
