Back in 2014 I witnessed one of the greatest collabs (only to be cut over by advertisement) with NIN, QOTSA, Dave Grohl, and Lindsey Buckingham. The transition that brought out Homme and Grohl was one of the smoothest, rock and roll shit I’ve ever seen. 🤌🏻✨ youtu.be/x1lbbT7MRfA?...

Book club

There’s a song called “Diet Pepsi” (I shit you not) and it’s up for a Grammy for Best New Artist. I’m here to tell you that we have no culture. LMAO. Like I’m listening to this shite right now and I’m in shock at how utterly bad this is.

What a great day to exercise our first amendment rights peacefully! Remove the regime! Its always great to be surrounded by people who actually GET IT!! Also not lost on me the giants who spoke in the same place I had the honor to!

It’s getting dark now at 4 pm so my posts will revolve around food, mood, and sleep. I just felt you all needed this PSA.

Forever grateful to have found The Godyssey Podcast back in my Twitter days. ☕️✨

Remember that when you write, the sounds of memories and voices from old ghosts will speak to you. You are not writing from a removed state — you can’t. Instead you must approach it like a seance. If you get it, you get it.

I will never pass on listening to the Goo Goo Dolls. It reminds me of being a kid, running back home to read Seventeen magazine, and burning CDs. I wish they had played “Name”. Such a gem. 🤌🏻✨ But the setlist is lovely! youtu.be/X0X12AD7nK4?...

Shirley Jackson is a master. Highly, 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒚 recommend you get this (from your local indie bookstore of course):

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately because it is a bit inusual to find men who can name an artist they absolutely love that happens to be a woman. Same with authors, musicians, sports, etc. I’m saying this with obvious awareness that there’s nuance to all this but still.

Years of formal training makes you really good at picking up on what works and make you go, “this is really good”. No fluff, no exuberance. The quality speaks for itself. Andrea Cohen’s poem “The Committee Weighs in” is a rare work of art that knocks the air out of you. ☕️✨

You all can’t hold me accountable for my book obsession and I don’t resent you for it.

“THEN WHY ARE YOU STILL ALIVE?!” Cowboy Bebop forever my favorite ✨ youtu.be/gKrkQUBysMk?...

I could be here, but alas.

Hang out? For a couple of hours? My sibling in Christ… my anxiety would be off the charts. Most importantly: I’d like some detailed account on ice cream preference and which video game, because that’s where I’m at these days.

On November 19, Congress voted to release the Epstein files. On November 20, Trump threatened lawmakers with the death penalty.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

It’s ingrained and indoctrinated on US military members not to follow Unlawful orders. Trump never has taken his oath seriously, he will never understand this.

This dictionary has brought me tremendous joy in the last few days during some horrific times. I particularly appreciate the ode to “a simple thing” — the Oxford comma.

Autocorrect has become our worst enema.

Methodology

Because it was said to a woman and I have noticed that people only make heroes out of men (fan club fawning level of intensity) but cannot extend the advocacy and support to women. Even speaking up for women in these moments is asking too much. The intensity is never the same.

We’re in a funk again! 🚨

The way folks down in North Carolina are handling ICE raids is exactly why I love North Carolina with all my heart. NC TikTok is on 🔥

An absolutely brilliant discussion. Thank you @sorayachemaly.bsky.social ✨ www.youtube.com/live/KH9beda...

The real question people need to be asking themselves is how can “Lonesome Dove” be so fucking good even if it’s the millionth time you watch it?

I need memes to calm down. Like, how dare you tell everybody my business. Once the Boston accent comes out, we’re in menace zone. If the Spanish starts coming out and I remove my precious earrings… that’s just my inner storm making landfall.

Happy Caturday 🐈‍⬛🤍

ICE vs the clergy

There isn’t such a thing as “underage girls”. What you really ought to say is children. Children.

I don’t have issues with perfectionism. I find a lot of comfort in mess and chaos as weird as that sounds. What I do have issues with, is having to “stay in the lines” and “fitting in”. I’m fucking weird. There’s nothing more to it. I talk to trees. I love animals. I hate millennial gray. 🖕🏻

The 💄was never for you, mate.

Not sure why we’re having a discourse (again, just packaged differently) about the male loneliness crisis. IDGAF. Genuinely. I’m not responsible for your lack of social skills and I’m not responsible for your unfuckability. That’s all you, bud. Figure your shit out.

Two things (three really): 1. Shirley Jackson is brilliant and I don’t know how someone can master the short story craft. “The Renegade” is domestic horror at its most terrifying. 2. My cat has opinions. 3. Good morning ☕️✨

Congratulations Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva!!!

Happy Veterans Day to all the Veterans! Thank you so much for your service to this country!

Mary Oliver, “Don’t Hesitate”. ✨

“On this Veterans Day, I share this post with tears in my eyes as I reflect on my service to our nation and honor my fellow military members. In some pics I’m fighting for my country overseas. In others, I’m fighting for my life at the hands of the citizens I sought to protect in my own country.”

Con la frente en alto. Thank you for your service then and now. May you get all the free freshly baked cookies you see. May you have access to the best tiramisu (or insert favorite dessert here). ✨

“So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.” Happy birthday, Kurt Vonnegut. ✨ Miss you terribly lately.

Sometimes nature stages a picture perfectly and a little piece of your heart feels a wee bit better. Good morning ☕️✨🍁

Man. I am so utterly disheartened. What a terrible start to this week.

Yep. He literally did the thing. Not sure why this is even a scandal for the BBC.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

“It was a sadistic flaunting of bloated wealth and egregious excess—a giant FUCK YOU to the millions of Americans being kicked off SNAP, and to anyone with a functional soul.” Grab yourself a coffee and read this really strong piece by Greg Olear:

Mamdani is going to implement Sriracha law. Everyone will have to slather hot sauce on their scrambled eggs
