tfw you’re deuterocanonical

best news I've heard all day

to Phil Ochs's tune: So fuck, fuck, fuck me, I'm a dinosaur 🦖🦕

Silver Bells, but not that Silver Bells, a whole ass other song about xmas christinaschneider.bandcamp.com/track/silver...

I love that classic British film Whilst You Were Sleeping

Bottle of white Bottle of red This song was originally performed by The Grateful Dead

does anyone know of places to donate for people looking for the $1000 to cover the appeal that would let them not be immediately deported mentioned here? hellgatenyc.com/trump-asylum...

in NYC on Saturday at Recess Gallery, I will be at this very cool Sick Musicians Variety Show and you should come too! some dear people are performing & funds raised go to disabled friends in Gaza www.recessart.org/events/433-s...

For the Lord so loved the world that he gave it a free subscription to the New Yorker for 1 year

I feel like no one “cool” has ever considered my music to be “cool”, and I wonder if it’s mostly because I’m not a jerk or if it’s something about the content of my work?

I don't even know where to begin here

a great version of Erotic City with All the Critics Love U in NY worked in and I feel like a Time song that I can't recall in the keyboard part at the end www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqcX...

Do you think that if your name is Shira and you’re so bad at it that you get an F, then your name becomes Shifra?

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

the proposed/likely to pass Knesset bill to bar graduates of Palestinian universities from teaching was news to me (it gives extreme 1930s 3rd R vibes), and this is all a recipe for attempted cultural elimination jewishcurrents.org/an-education...

Said to a string player: Damn gurl, are you going to cantoral school, cause you got a crazy score da torah

When someone brings up The Sorrows of Young Werther, you should either ask them “how sad was he?” or “how young was he?” in a comedy club kind of cadence

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

a few things to consider for you Bandcamp Friday: a new comp from Gold Bolus & Strategy of Tension in support of trans liberation that just dropped today goldbolus.bandcamp.com/album/mandat...

Would you describe oak leaves as “impressive”?

I read the Tatiana Schlossberg essay in the NYer. To me the main feeling coming away is extrapolating the grief it inspires to so many more people. The feeling of "I am a healthy person" and "I got this disease that isn't supposed to be common for healthy people my age" is illusory and temporary.

New comp out tomorrow (secretly today hee hee) for BC Friday from me/Gold Bolus & @jefftobias.bsky.social with all proceeds going to GLITS and their amazing work in support of trans folx goldbolus.bandcamp.com/album/mandat...

They should do MyChart Wrapped

a great listen once again from Public Health is Dead www.publichealthisdead.com/episodes/bad...

olive oil cakes: aka the best cakes I've made this guy a couple times recently, and let me tell you: yum en.julskitchen.com/breakfast/gl...

this is some of the biggest, dumbest, nihilistic turd salad available to slop the hogs with www.npr.org/2025/12/01/g...

I think I'll post a few songs I played on in 2025 over the next few days. I think I'll start with this piece by @daveruder.bsky.social from his moving & inscrutable new album. Dave's arranging chops really shine on this and the lyrics are downright freak shit daveruder.bandcamp.com/track/string...

this is a really beautiful essay & it hits close to home for me

Headline should read: Antivax-led FDA attributes 10 child deaths to COVID shots, offers no proof

"I hope you get the worst fucking hemorrhoids and can never sit down," one protester says heckling the masked feds staring down from the parking garage above.

Not a single major news outlet has covered this story. There is such a blatant, obvious attempt to suppress any and all news that deals with the actual facts about transgender life and experience. As the government rolls back our rights on an unprecedented scale, we have been left out to dry.

I'd really like someone to make the argument that Shaggy's "It Wasn't Me" is a Christmas song

"The world was cleaved in two, not between Muslims and Jews or Israelis and Palestinians; but between those who, like him, resisted imperialism in all its forms, and those who did not."

oh hurray hurray hurray Brandon Nimmo is no longer a Met, hurray hurray hurray

Person 1, seductively: You know, I’m not a little boy any more… [goes to stereo, puts on a studio album by Phish to demonstrate this fact]

I will be so satisfied if we can make the buses in nyc be free and then that shitty “fares required” message they instituted in 2021 goes away

What would say the base hit points of old salad in a Tupperware is?

ICE activity has increased in Sunset Park, Bushwick, and Corona (non-exhaustive list) and it seems to be because people aren’t attending their court dates — either due to not receiving notice or intentionally skipping because they know people are getting disappeared at 26 Federal Plaza.

Of course it’s airborne. This rejection of airborne pathogens reads like reactionary, emotional objections to the concept of miasma. That because miasma said infections were airborne, and miasma was wrong, infections must definitionally be not airborne. Which is not true.

Hi, folks. I wrote about my buddy @leslieleeiii.bsky.social. He had #LongCOVID and passed away this week. Thanks for reading. adamumak.medium.com/leslie-lee-i...

llps.substack.com/p/alice-wong.... what is remembered lives. @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social and me wrote our assess off on our Crips for eSims memory song for our beloved @sfdirewolf.bsky.social . #AliceForever

something fun about me is that I just love the way Susan from Vanity/Apollonia 6 sings, it's so distinctive even if the lyrics are total dog shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r-N...

I put out a new album 9 days ago and I'd like to tell you about the 7th track, Seltzer to a Bee daveruder.bandcamp.com/album/lil-ol... First off, who doesn’t like a song where all the rhymes are the same, e.g. where the rhyme scheme is AAAAAAAA…???

This right here is a major problem with the American political apparatus: powerful people and institutions are so worried about *scaring* us that they fail to properly *inform* us of actual dangers.

Sure, we all like a snack pack, but what about a yak pack? Those are good, too!

RIP to Alice Wong, a real role model and person of moral clarity

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Here’s the pitch: a cover set of Lucinda Williams songs, but done with an exaggerated Bob Dylan circa 1965 voice
