Enjoyed the new DEVO documentary and its video collage format. As a kid I would borrow the first 4 DEVO cassettes from the library in a constant rotation. Sometimes a B-52s tape would sneak in there.

This video by harpist @emilyharpist.bsky.social struck a nerve with me. Her thoughts on imposter syndrome, having fun with your art, & following through with projects made me feel a bit more secure in doing what I believe in, if only for myself.

I never considered myself a "real" musician due to critical feedback from every angle my entire life. Because I use janky gear in unconventional ways. Or I don't know music theory. Or I let my sense of humor show. But I pride myself in following through with ideas regardless of criticism.

I accidentally stepped on my cat's paw. She's paying me back by standing on my foot. I'm pretending to suffer for her satisfaction.

😹 The age verification scheme is hilarious

That and the Jaws parody made me think questions like "How is a kid supposed to know these movies to appreciate the joke? Am I actually not the target age for this magazine?" 😹

I actually did that once with a large vinyl collection just to see it. Huge mistake! (Only for my panic in returning it to alphabetical 😅)

Extremely distracted by a non-alphabetized DVD collection in the background of a movie review video. Yes I fight the urge to sort some people's shelves when I visit.

Reverse-engineering the gags in MAD Magazine's movie parodies to imagine what they were spoofing was the only way to "see" popular R rated films as a kid. It felt like I knew a lot of movies pretty well by the time I was old enough to actually watch them.

I worked in a warehouse in the 1990s and would get relentlessly dragged when alpha coworkers learned I liked synthpop instead of "authentic" country music. Fists were swung the few times I said that nearly all modern country had programmed drums. 😹
