Finished reading @sarahgailey.bsky.social's Have You Eaten and I've never been closer to crawling back to my lesbian book club. I imagine it'll pass eventually but right now, unless someone is paying me, I only want to be around queer/trans people for the rest of my born days.
I dismantled a CD player from 1993 trying to fix the wonky carousel. 2 hours later (and several leftover screws) I am greasy and sweaty, the carousel is still wonky, and MP3 players are still great.
I'm gonna go clean a toilet.

My wife was an only child. This album is 50 years old and still has her childhood address label on it. Listening to it tonight, it sounds brand new. My younger sister had a sleepover in 1987 and she and her punk friends threw my records at our bedroom walls in order to destroy my posters.

Tower Grove Farmers Market is full of pleasant people and cute dogs. There is much talking of football and the weather. I picked up a turkey from a farmer and I hugged a tree.

IKEA provided an amount of manual labor sufficient to ignore the outside world for two whole days. Dismantled a tank of a 90s stereo cabinet and replaced it with a stereo sideboard from IKEA. First time both of our record, cassettes and graphic novel collections have fit in the same spots. 🤓

One of my favorite co-workers isn't so good at electronic comms and she signs off all her always all caps emails with THANK YOU MARY and it's been almost ten years and I will never stop reading this in the voice of Tina, Martha Plimpton's character in the 1998 John Waters classic PECKER. 🌈

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
