happy women wednesday to all who celebrate

Now that there's drafts its finally time to clean out the drafts note

dennis cooper taught me it is okay to tell the reader about the cool music you're listening to

what's the name for the type of sobriety where you only do poppers

Gold star guitarist (never learned the riff to sweet child o mine)

sweet child o mine

i collaged up this card for some very special january birthdays... if your birthday was in january, consider this your belated e-card 🌌💜

If you're not riding the OS train yet, this is the station to get aboard!! (I'm also super honored and super inspired to do their episode art on a regular basis now)

They're figging your ass over on gingersky

the stack grows ever precarious (not the whole stack)

You should check out Sarah's podcast recs if this type of media is your jam, but you should start with Odium Symposium first

it's pfp day where you post your pfp. again. everyone look at the picture you've seen 9,933 times. obey. I didn't make this self-portrait specifically to be a pfp but it was one motivation

Our new episode is now available for all listeners on all platforms! Helen and Sarah dive into (one particular) work of french philosopher and murderer Louis Althusser, and along the way they learn about femicide. This one gets a bit dark.

Do I pass? Yeah, the smell test and the taste test!

I would like to finish and then edit my first novel and then put it where others can read it

Musically, I think I can actually write some really good lyrics

Parallel prong on this misogynist fork: some people who consider themselves on the left side of things will use their scorn for the "white woman" as a way to wrap misogynist pills in the cheese of aesthetically woke racial politics

I'm kind of the coolest girl at work, and I might even be the hottest. And I think it's okay for me to act like that sometimes. Confidence is a very professional trait, you know? Like, "girlbossing?" My boss, giving me my yearly performance review: Me: I am also the eepiest girl in our department

im the ouppiest girl in our department and it is simply in my ouppy nature to retrieve company property and bury it and you have to catch me in the act to scold me or i will never learn

My parents don't like to run the heat and I like to sleep naked so this panel is sometimes my very first thought of the day when I must leave my bed

Using the "biiiig stretch!" voice people take with cats when putting an O-ring into an external gland

Music that's new to me that I'm getting really into in 2026: a thread🧵

This one's a real doozy

Today I blew a raspberry at the man calling me an f-slur/t-slur and i think that is downstream of this

merits of any particular digital dog boobs aside, i think "why?" is an interesting question to ask about the erotic, a great one to try to answer, and not one to use a "let people enjoy things" response on

2026 IN - the highland cow calendar!!!

Sure. Let's run with this

Water? Great! Seltzer? Great! Hard seltzer? Fine? Hard water.... what the heck happened??

if you start watching Stop Making Sense at like 11:59 or something tonight then the new year will strike right after David Byrne starts playing the tape he wants to play

end of 2024 --> end of 2025

No surprises here

Including Fugazi and putting them that low in the ranking makes me feel like "CONSEQUENCE" simply hasn't listened to enough Fugazi but knows that they ought to include them somewhere here. I would take this ranking more seriously if they just left Fugazi off entirely

2026 IN - correcting misgenderings - works of Truth and Beauty - group sex - Linux OUT - stylings of yesteryear - over-eating - smoking - fear

I need to try more adhesives

grinch obviously the uke (internal organs known for expanding in size)

Enjoy the view long enough... the view starts enjoying you

Rousing successes across the board except for the not texting on the job thing, but you can't always win 'em all

first christmas post-orchi.... no more presents under my tree

fav pic of 2025

Thankfully, we don't encounter many Stephen Leacock guys or Dr. Peck guys or Enoch Powell guys in our daily lives.... but we all know an Ayn Rand guy. Understand your enemy! Become a proper Hater!! Don't miss this episode!!!

I have this hunch that the straight male industrial music fans are, as a demographic, far more likely to "fw the dolls" than the metalheads or punks. Does this track for anyone?

I'm having dinner tonight with someone who has not seen me in ten years

I know we like to espouse nonmonogamy here, but <sits on chair backward, PSA-style> if your partner ever makes you choose between some form of nonmonogamy and breaking up, you should choose the break up

probably no better illustration of how monogamy is less a sexual behavior and more a way of acting about sexual behavior than the recent fracas. One's monogamy isn't the true and pure uncheated-upon monogamy unless they take specific and vocal exception to a general public health recommendation

the real utility of the chef's kiss/kiss-fingertips gesture is that it can answer waitstaff who ask how the food is while your mouth is full
