Use this YouTube link to watch my opera-- 6 PM Pacific, 9/19!

It will also work after that, but don't you want to come hang out with me? 🥺

I wonder what the math is on their exorbitant salaries vs. the amount of fares they catch. How is it cheaper to have these overpaid bullies hassle mostly poor people over a matter of $2.80 than it is to make transit free?

I once had THREE of them board a bus where I was visibly the only adult (it was packed with teens and I couldn't stop to tap my phone five times for it to work, but had a transfer where I would have to pay anyway). Sad little bully tried to ticket me for not having headphones (?). Waste of money.

Have you checked near wherever the nice electronics boxes you feel weird about throwing away live?

My condolences. I hate the fare pigs. Honestly, consider filing a complaint on the officer number on your ticket.

Not so much a time thing as an audience thing but Pierre Boulez is responsible for the lyrics to You Can Call Me Al

Never forget that Dolly Parton gave a million bucks for covid research at the *very start* of the pandemic—including money that helped fund the development of the Moderna vaccine.

We are OVER ONE-THIRD! I might call that good for the next few days, honestly. Except for, of course, The Emails.

We're talking data entry here. I'm listening to podcasts. Biggest physical risk is not staying hydrated

There is almost nothing on there, and most of it is ancient, but my recent opera is up and I'm very proud of it!

Mountain Dew (original flavor) plus cheap red wine (I'm talking boxed here, don't use the good stuff) is upsettingly good. I saw someone post it on here and I'm incredibly weak to shitpost beverages, but it's better than it should be. I call it gamer sangria.

New thing continues (has for several days, alongside a small number of The Emails). I just hit about 10% of what I feel like I need to do before launch. It's not hard work, just time-consuming. Trying to hit at least 20% today, since the rest of the week will be tough days at the day job.

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

The other single literally starts with my favorite cadence. It's literally so over for me

If I didn't know it was real, I would assume someone was making up this album as an incredibly targeted dig at me. "Pfft, Patricia's probably listening to, like, a musical-inspired Mountain Goats concept album about a maritime disaster. She's nodding about the tasteful use of woodwinds." YES TF I AM

"The Happy Birthday song sung by one quiet gay man sounds like a Happy Birthday dirge."

Absolutely top-notch writing. I am cackling the kind of 2 am cackles that make me hope my apartment walls are as thick as I naïvely imagine them to be.

I am DYING for a good "tycoon" style game where you build and manage an airport. Maybe it's all the Wendover Productions videos I've listened to while falling asleep, but I do think I'm on to something here.

I'm pretty sure they were villains in Redwall, which we all know was a nonfiction series, so I completely agree.

My general assumption is "it'll be about the same as yesterday" and I'm only surprised by this not being true maybe once or twice a month.

As of the last several years? Inevitably, at some random point when the rest of the country is experiencing Autumn and I will be more inconvenienced by it than is humanly imaginable.

Tchaikovsky, as a whole, is SO like this for me. You can't tell me this didn't just grow out of the ground this way.
