welcome to my hot hot takes: 1. i love trans people 2. treating others like fellow human beings is SO hot 3. littering is unsexy, along with spitting on the ground 4. fuck the king, redistribute the wealth 5. art is everywhere even if you think it’s shitty and worthless

6. advocating for mental health means even when it’s ugly and hard and not just when it’s art therapy colouring books 7. you don’t have to forgive people to move on 8. i’m pretty certain neurodiverse people invented everything 9. pets will tell you where the ghosts are 10. kindness will win

11. everyone responds differently to everything 12. everyone’s 24 hours in a day are not the same 13. grief is never done 14. “i saw this and thought of you” is the most sincere and honest exchange 15. there’s no such thing as a waste of time

the inexorable search for that sweet spot

8 months of work, 7 hours of interviews, 30 pages in the google doc, 17k words, and 4 very long days of editing later… my story on the first ramones album, which turns 50 this month. www.pastemagazine.com/music/ramone...

sadly he was an only twin (also devoured by snake shortly after this picture was taken)

it seems i was mistaken in assuming boards of canada were muted

what's a video the youtube algo no matter what yr search is insists you watch that you will never watch

six months and it's still a thing so kudos to whoever's doing the pr for this lot

obey your master, master!
