going on twitter now is like the dark world part of link to the past, where the shape of things is roughly the same only now instead of the friendly villagers there's some demihuman freak snarling at you going "welcome to the village of assholes!! we hate you!!" also the trees shoot bombs now

This is so so so fucked up 😡

This is the first self portrait my 3.5 year old has ever drawn that I’ve known about. She drew herself as a troll basically

Been listening to View Monster and Spirit Phone a lot this week and realized I think Lemon Demon’s voice is SUPER sexy, and 1) I assume my barometer is completely busted from listening to too much weirdo music and 2) I’m curious if others agree, and/or what singers yall find sexy-sounding.

With as much as my dumb ass sings all day every day you’d think I’d have sung lullabies to my daughter before now. I sang Fools Rush In, Golden Slumbers, and Blackbird and she was out like a light

I’m on a vacation and listening to There’s Nothing Wrong With Love by Built to Spill in a hot tub outside by myself in the woods! My kid is sleeping and this is super dope!

alien graffiti can be pretty hurtful 😔

I used my daughter’s anti-boy/pro-girl proclivity for my own devices by playing The Raincoats and Sleater Kinney and telling her “they’re girl bands! They’re all girls” now she’s like 😄 and requesting them

My dad gave me, my brother and my sister “When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops” by George Carlin as well as the album Lonely Runs Both Ways by Alison Krauss and Union Station in 2004. My favorite comedian ever since has been Carlin and I’ll forever love bluegrass because of him

I’m into the band shirt + skirt + sneakers combo lately and it kinda organically came about to dress my daughter the same way today

I just was struck by the oddest thought. My brother died suddenly two months ago and we cleared out his apartment, went through all his things. He had an air fryer and such. Why didn’t he have a rice cooker 🤔 he was half Japanese. It makes no sense

When you’ve been putting your 3 year old down for two hours and she’s still not asleep and she keeps tossing to make sure you’re still there and your bladder is so full you have to sit up but if you leave to pee she will follow you out and reset the clock again

My 3 year old daughter asked me to play a new game called “ponytails” with her today which was her doing this to her Glitter Girls doll’s hair while I did her My Little Pony’s hair in two kinds of braids. I’m very on board with this whole thing

Note to self: do NOT, I repeat DO NOT eat like 40 dried apricots in one sitting

I LOVE this album SO much. I can't get over how much I love it. It's to the point where my three year old daughter sings along and makes requests. Her favorite song is Brands Brands Brands Brands, but mine is They Don't Want You to Live. Please check it out! okglass.bandcamp.com/album/same ok.glass

the sidebar tells me "Music Sky" is trending, so let's open the floodgates: Hello randos, I apologize for my free album Same, which just came out this week. It is pop rock music featuring many acoustic instruments and electronic instruments and load-bearing samples okglass.bandcamp.com/album/same

Introducing SAME, a secret third thing from OK Glass. 15 songs. Free at ok.glass, or pay $any at Bandcamp while the lawyers are asleep: okglass.bandcamp.com/album/same

I finally actually sucked it up and watched a video of an orchestra concert I played last spring and am moved to tears at my normal-looking-ness. I was totally just sitting there doing scrapey-scrapey motion just like the other people the whole time

Always gotta keep the algorithm moving

Do yall turn off windshield wipers when you’re at a red light, too? or is that just a quirk and pet peeve of mine when people don’t do it

18 year olds need to quit dancing and lip syncing and do something important and dignified like having 18000 Simpsons screengrabs saved on their phone that they interpret all current events through the lens of

I have all these dresses my grandma made for herself that magically opened themselves up to me now that I have a pair of doc marten Chelsea boots. And it is weird how exactly same our bodies must have been

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

So I’ve cracked this at least atm. I used to do dry food at 5pm and wet food at 7am. I gradually moved move meals later til they’re wet food at 9 or 10am and dry food at 9 or 10pm. Nobody’s angrily peeing on the couch in protest or anything, and loudmouth cat only

I knew I needed to get better at strumming guitar so I played a bunch of acoustic for a period of months last year. Now I’m playing electric for the first time in forever and am pleasantly surprised my body remembered what it learned re: strumming

🥾 🥾 the leg to boot thickness ratio

Nobody has space for groceries or dry goods in their homes because every cupboard is packed to overflowing with old Rock Band controllers

lol my 2 year old just brought her toy phone into the bathroom to play on while she pooped in the potty

One of the most validating moments in my life lately was when I complained about this to a musician friend and he was like “omg her intonation is crazy” like I don’t feel so alone anymore

There was a point at NYE toddler toast play date yesterday when a mom offered Claudia two different cups for her sparkly apple juice that featured “Very Hungry Caterpillar” or “FBI” and I said “the two genders” and no one laughed but I’ve laughed a couple times since

It’s always hard this time of year but this is crazy. Really hard to figure out if I should just shut out my entire family forever, or figure out a way to compartmentalize things so it doesn’t hurt so much when they treat me the way they do. Also my house is too small and I’m developing anxiety over

Apparently there’s a Winnie the Pooh movie from 2011 where Zooey Deschanel sings a bunch of songs. I thought I was done having to see or hear this person!! But my toddler loves the movie and soundtrack so I have to hear her out-of-tune ass all the time

We’ve got five cats these days and one of my original ones has taken to meowing loudly early morning asking for food and it’s driving us crazy. I’ve tried white noise, shutting him out (he meows loudly under the door and scratches), an under door draft cover pad thing that doesn’t help.

Spotify Wrapped is again partly what I like and partly what Claudia likes. Stephanie Beatriz is the voice of Mirabel in the movie Encanto. And im surprised that We Don’t Talk About Bruno beat out La Llorona from Coco because the latter was on request constantly for months

TMBG US tour begins tonight!! 🤘 🤘 *does that pump-up-the-crowd lifting up arms motion except it's very large grotesque paper mache hands*

FRIDAY BLACK FRIDAY is back www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUMX...

I don't think people know about this outside the very particular corner of the music world I inhabited until very recently, so here's the deal. Musicians in "major" US orchestras are salaried, year-round employees. But unlike at most FT jobs, we have to supply all our own equipment.

A week-long intensive search for chunky black loafers that remind me of my Steve Madden platform ones I wore in high school has ended with this Sam Edelman pair, hopefully comfy for commuting to work in both jeans and dresses/skirts

Some of the last big Twitter accounts I enjoy have made the move to BlueSky. Cool! I hadn’t opened Twitter or BlueSky since the election til now because I can’t stand anybody talking about it. Would rather doomscroll Google news instead and play NYT games. Just concentrating on work and family

*internally screaming* !!

Tis the start of Cats Suddenly Being Way Snugglier season

So I think I’m in some weird in between thing where nerds think I’m a socially normal person but actual normal people think I’m a freak, does anybody else relate with this or no 🤨

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." - Glamorizes hustle culture - Speciest - Was taught to you in elementary school "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow." - Metal as fuck - Implies that you are a wizard - No one will know you are testing out a font

Cut off a bunch of my hair today and am happy with it 😙 they cut the front long at first and it was cute but I wanted to add some panache to the front so I went back and asked them to add side bangs, and it was raining, so the last pic is fuzzier/curlier

This picture of me and my daughter at the agricultural fair today is cute but also looks like a Jewish child is sprouting out from the top of my head

Just wanted to note that I’m grilling a hefty sum of asparagus

I have the house to myself for two days for the first time in at least 2.5 years. So far I’ve just been playing songs I already know on instruments I have not played enough lately. It is enlightening how short my nails need to be to play these things

We saw Danny Weinkauf’s Red Pants Band as her first ever rock concert, she was mostly just transfixed like she is at orchestra concerts, but did a little clapping and dancing ☺️
