reached new level of middle-aged white person: suddenly invested in tennis

a joy to experience internalized misogyny right alongside trauma caused by a man. </sarcasm>

What a gift to grow with a band. I've been seeing @cursivetheband.bsky.social live for 22 years now. Every time I scream along I feel reconnected to all the versions of me who have screamed along before.

my parents just had a fridge die that "came with the house" when they bought it in 1978.

what a fucking stupid time to be a person who cares about other people

Hey @democrats.org I PROMISE the day of and after a school shooting is not the day to blow me up about donations.

TREMENDOUS delivery on “expired”

wild to have a passing positive thought about oneself and then instantly fear punishment or retribution for daring to think it. shame is a helluva drug.

Day off in Boise: Jeep driving by, doors off, BLASTING smashmouth's cover of I'm A Believer. And to bury the lede, also saw a guy just walking a mini pony downtown.

Loading my work box into the trunk, my uber driver says "looks like work tools." I respond in affirmation, "yes sir they are." He then calls after my husband who is returning inside, to ask what kind of tools they are. 🙃 Happy start of tour from a (gasp) lady roadie!

In 44 years of living in Washington State, I've never seen a skunk before. Today 5 showed up in my backyard. Dopamine boost like whoa.

Home Run Derby, 2025

Spent my day getting lyrics from one of the finest songs ever written carved into my arm. John Prine is missed every day, even when his songs are eternal. @ohboyrecords.bsky.social

If the city famous for having absolutely nightmarish garbage mayors can pull off an upset like this YOUR CITY CAN TOO.

welp, got my first mail from Elderhostel. 👵🏻

Haven't stopped laughing at this furious photo our pet sitter sent us. Cooper hates vacation.

NO endless wars. NO murdering civilians. NO using *our* tax dollars for illegal and immoral military action.

My 80+ year old Mom was suspended on Threads for talking shit to the president. So proud.

Few tours I've enjoyed more than working with The Punch Brothers. Truly world class musicians and wonderful humans. Hope to do it again!

This cat tarot is my trusty daily deck for years now. Brings joy and insight!

"Masturboni only hits singles." please laugh since my husband didn't

Shutting down Job Corps is some sinister sh*t.

This is really bad.

Happy Pride to everyone except the "progressive" guy who told me, a bisexual, that bisexuals were "genital obsessed" and "as bad as terfs."

spent my morning wrastling dandelions in my yard & going to be using them as inspiration - deep rooted, relentless, adaptable, stretching towards the sun, taking up space without asking permission, hearty.

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

Loved my week on the road with the Punch Brothers - gobsmacking talents. Looking forward to our second leg next month.

Returning to places I last visited with Sharon, always a kick in the teeth.

Excited to be heading out for this bright and early, while also cursing the lack of high speed rail travel in the USA, b/c who wants to be flying right now? (not me)

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

You'll Hate Tacoma

After years of attempting to stay on top of new releases, I now enjoy music as it comes to me. So right now I'm obsessing over MJ Lenderman's "Manning Fireworks" (esp. She's Leaving You) & Bartees Strange "Horror", both excellent with the window rolled down.

Today should have been Sharon Jones' 69th birthday. She fought so hard to stay. She had so many songs left to sing. And fish to catch. Celebrate her today. Donate to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Eat your favorite thing. Dance about it. Call a friend back home. Laugh loudly. Smoke up. Sing.

Didn't expect to get teary eyed about Sharon Jones watching @maddow.msnbc.com on @msnbc.com tonight but - this shoutout and sign at a protest did it.

How bizarre to drive somewhere by memory and not recognize where you end up.

there is a Mariner who's last name is Mastruboni. Shakespeare couldn't have done better. cc @brittneybush.bsky.social

If this regime is dragging us back to the 1800s they should have to bring back the good stuff too. I want investment in high-speed railways. I want federal buildings redone in Art Nouveau. I want streets clogged with flâneurs walking tortoises on leashes. I want the de-extinction of Oscar Wilde

very cool when the "stable" job in the roadie/normie partnership is no longer because of the stupidest men in America running the government like a start-up funded by their Daddy.

be careful friends, real feral / all of America is hangry at the same time vibes out there.

Listening to my husband explain unemployment filing to his coworkers because RFK Jr and DOGE are running the HHS like a shitty startup, is going to be part of my villain origins story.

Featuring my favorite drummer I've ever toured with - Brian Wolfe. Brian held down the kit for Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings for most of my time with them & he's a brilliant drummer who can, clearly, do any genre justice. I knew he did this tour, but have never seen footage. Amazing. ✨

Happy Trans Day of Visibility

Seemed like the perfect day to put up my first lawn sign. Forever have your back, trans & NB friends.

Has anyone hit the emergency Desparecidos button yet?

If you're waiting in a hotel lobby for rooms, may there always be an anime convention checking out for people watching

Is now the time to admit I thought Anora was a new Star Wars series when I first heard the name? p.s. Sex work is real work.

heading out for one of the great packing challenges of my career

Wild to have put so much shit in my system in active addiction & now be foiled by a single extra shot of espresso too late in the day. (She types wide awake at 5:07am.)

If I don't stop everything to watch this TV On The Radio performance, my body has been hijacked by an alien being.
