Because the world is so kooky I made cookies that look like sliders today.

Someone is impersonating me on Xtwit. If you, or anyone you know, gets an email purporting to be form me, and saying I will write an article about you if you pay me, please know that it is fake.

The other day I had the choice of seeing the Who live, or "Spinal Tap: The End Continues" at the movie theater. Do you think I made the right decision? Thanks as always for reading! open.substack.com/pub/gina19e/...

Live skeeting Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds tonight at the Bill Graham Civic!

Today, I got my printed copy of the Oxford Handbook of Punk Rock. To give some perspective, my five-year-old daughter was a newborn when I turned in the first draft. It's been available online for a few years, but still exciting to see in hardback!

First sighting of The Oxford Handbook of Punk Rock in the wild! Congratulations to @ginanarchy.bsky.social, @georgemckay.bsky.social, and all who contributed chapters!

On Dec 6 '80, the Grateful Dead played an acoustic show in Mill Valley for about 60 young muscular dystrophy patients. This event opened the door to Garcia for playing acoustic benefits. I look into the arcs of Dead and Garcia benefit shows over the decades. lostlivedead.blogspot.com/2025/04/mill...

Loved the op ed in the SF Chronicke by Mark Twain today. Turns out the more things change, the more they stay the same. Great work all around!

Inquiring minds want to know: what IS so funny about peace, love and understanding?

my answer to whether or not -- as someone who published one of the first r.e.m. fanzines -- i need to go see the Fables of the Reconstruction outing is answered beautifully & perfectly by @ginanarchy.bsky.social : open.substack.com/pub/gina19e/...

Virgin Atlantic crew just gifted me a bottle of champagne as a reward for enduring a 12 hour flight from Cape Town with a broken TV monitor.

What i like about penguins is they look like absolute idiots at all times.

Just met a guy at the hotel bar here in Cape Town who had no idea who the new American President was. When told, he threw back his had and laughed hysterically.

There is a man janitor tidying up the ladies loo at st pancras r n and I am fine with that and so is everyone else in here but in that case, why trans bathroom mania, people?

Hope is Important open.substack.com/pub/ginaarno... I wrote about the new film "The Count of Monte Cristo" and why it made me feel a bit better about hard times. Thanks for reading!

The new version of "The Count of Monte Cristo" has been sold out all weekend at my local AMC strip mall and no wonder! It's so good, like if John Wick spoke french and was even more mad about Daisy.

I loved this film a lot!

Alot going on here
