One of the best things about Richmond, Virginia? GWAR. #gwar

Me to evangelicals re: the #rapture.

Shana tova, friends. Remember to leave things behind and take sweetness with you going forward. #roshhashanah

I regret to inform you that Gwar has pushed the boundaries of good taste.

I love the implication that we're all made of stardust and the recycled bits of the universe, but that means we're probably also partially composed of alien poop too.

In Africa we met a tourist who had an olive baboon who got into their room and ate their medications and passport. But she was an awful colonialist turd of a person, so it seemed like the universe balancing karma via the vehicle of a baboon.

It’s hockey season. God bless us, everyone.

Queequeg is settling in. #cat #catsofbluesky

I declare this idea public domain as long as you name a sandwich after me.

PUP and @jeffrosenstock.bsky.social last night in Richmond. I’m surprised you didn’t hear us. #PUP #DeathRosenstock #TripleBand

Here’s a free gift for you: my buddy uses the phrase “inducted into the Hall of Fame” for when a companion animal dies, as in “I heard your cat got inducted into the Hall of Fame. Hope you’re alright. Love you.” Feel free to use it. It’s yours now. #petsofbluesky

If you don’t know how soft this part of a cat is, you’re fucking up, friend. #CatsOfBluesky #HandsomeFrank

Yet this is nothing

I read, at random, 4 stories from my feed today, & they were all riddled with errors & incongruities & first-draft-ism. If we are editors or small-press publishers, we have to work 10x as hard to maintain our collective reputation & the quality of the work we present, & it sucks, but we have to.

Thursday night! As the kids say, “let’s fucking go.” #pup #jeffrosenstock #ekkoastral #RVA

I just learned on a podcast that ciabatta bread was invented in 1982, which means that I am a year older than ciabatta. Fuck everything. I’m older than bread.

So our new sweet kitty, Rubens, is getting a New Name! We are thinking either Melville or Queequeg, but we can’t decide. What do you think? Keep in mind that he is crosseyed. #catsofbluesky #help

I just woke up with a million dollar idea: a breakfast restaurant with artisanal teas called HIBISCUITS AND GRAVY. I win. #businessidea

Well we went to a cat adoption event today and adopted a cat. He’s six, his name is Rubens, and he looks like this. #catsofbluesky #photography

My useless lilliputian gestures of exasperation and wrath when I accidentally see any news…followed immediately by utter lugubriousness.

“Three Popes and the Bowel Movements” is actually the name of my band.

Every now and then, Handsome Frank likes to go outside and lie around in the yard. Anyways, here he is today. #catsofbluesky #handsomefrank

let’s drink shame upon all cowards! I name no names. Shame upon them!

“America, I love you, but you’re freaking me out.” #menzingers youtu.be/Xn8p_18vN9g?...

I believe “devastatingly handsome” is the adjectival phrase you’re looking for.

“We believe that the nazis and fascists have asked for it, and they are going to get it.” - FDR

John Brown did nothing wrong.

Learned today that Hoobastank actually stylized their name as H∞bastank, with the infinity symbol. Taking the week off work

But what do you think is in this truck, I ask you!

Anyways, here’s Miró with Handsome Frank. #cats

As someone with chronic pain, I’m just gonna say it: ibuprofen is a joke. I might as well be taking Haribo.

I fucking love getting vaccines. I travelled widely last year and didn’t get yellow fever or hepatitis A. I cut myself gardening and didn’t get tetanus. I don’t have polio.

I just found a copy of Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities” in Italian (!!!) here in the little free library by my house in Richmond, Virginia. Una benedizione in una giornata di merda. Amen. #books

Recommended reading, by me: - “Invisible Cities” (Italo Calvino) - “Serve the People” (Yan Lianke) - Attar’s “Congress of the Birds” (trans. by Sholeh Volpe) - Tristan Tzara’s Dada manifestos - “The Enormous Room” (e. e. cummings) - “Lucky Hans” (Kurt Schwitters) - “Man in the Holocene” (Max Frisch)

Goodbye.

Anyways, here’s Handsome Frank. #cat #handsomefrank

Just look at this beautiful třezané three-layer pour. Strong Rothko vibes.

Hey! I saw Oasis again! #OasisLive25

Oh, me? Headed to Chicago with the lads to see Oasis again. “Let’s fucking go,” I think the kids say. #OasisLive25

“Is there room in Toronto for one more?” #Toronto
