I've liked most of what I've heard from Turpitude, but "Une interprétation de la dissolution glaciale en quatre mouvements" is my favorite Turpitude album. turpitude.bandcamp.com/album/une-in...

Very slowly made Turkish coffee is demonstrably the best coffee. And, if you're not thermocycling it for extra foam, I don't know what to tell ya...

Sometimes one simply must get up early to watch the sun rise over the river while listening to black metal.

It turns out the thing I needed this evening was to watch a violent movie with friends and drink a couple beers.

This is my favorite post of the day.

Starting off with acoustic last spring when I started touching guitar again, and only eventually reincorporating electric has rather substantially changed the way I play; I seem to use a lot more open voicings, and fewer arpeggios but more melodic lines.

I'm just throwing this out: anyone who doesn't already have Hans Zimmer on their personal boycott list should look into his business practices. I won't talk trash about other musicians in public, but fuck Hans and his composition-stealing ass for what he did to the soundtrack industry.

There are a lot of people being very simple about children's media today, and I want them to grow up.

honestly I think anyone hung up on Harry Potter just has the taste of a literal child and should be bullied for that alone

I made myself a miniature strawberry and dark chocolate cake, because I can. I figure that offsets the veggie wrap I made for breakfast.

This is day 13 of the strike, and I have lost all sense of time in the best way possible.

This is both an expression of confusion as well as a subpost: if someone explains at length how you've overstepped boundaries and hurt them, and says that they need some space but will talk to you after a break, maybe sending them 15 messages in 6 days isn't the move.

9-day trip from Portland, OR to NJ and back, with a slight detour to stop off in Grand Rapids, MI on the way back. If we're talking about one uninterrupted drive with no night stops, when I was 20 my gf and I started in Ft. Worth, TX and drove up I-35 to Canada, then turned around and headed back..

I have low self-esteem, a horrible self-image, and I genuinely think most people are better off and prefer it when I'm not around, which is fun when I go out, because I spend the entire time feeling bad about existing. This thought is brought to you by my current anxiety attack.

Half of these racer names would make great bad band names. Also, shout out to my boy Dud Bolt

would anyone like to see the baby

THREAD: Cherise Doyley was in her 12th hour of contractions at the hospital when a tablet was brought to her bedside. On the screen was a Zoom call with a judge and several lawyers and doctors. She was in court, a nurse told her. The reason? For failing to agree to a C-section.

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

bleh that is all

Sometimes volunteering is "this is fun, and we're doing good things!" Sometimes volunteering is "this absolutely sucks, but we're doing some good." I am expecting today to be the latter. I'll report back

This website is mostly just people scolding each other and then getting mad at each other for scolding people.

Another social worker has been killed while doing their job. This time it's a VA social worker in Georgia. Tragically, it's a lesson that keeps being taught over and over. Social work can be dangerous. It's a side of social work that we don’t like to talk about.

Here's Grißu and Schatzi

Success: I snoozed the heck out of those dreams, y'all. I wanted to express that I actually slept well, and that nonsense is the first sentence that came to mind. The problem is that, while it's nonsense, it's also stuck in my head like an actual saying now.

I had a terribly clever idea: I'm going to go to bed really early tonight. You may applaud my terribly clever idea.

Layla by Derek and the Dominos. I'd be fine never having to hear Clapton's soulless playing ever again.

The Nightrider. That is his name. The Nightrider. Remember him when you look at the night sky.

this is the only way to appreciate someone playing a bitchin guitar solo

Im going to be on the streets tonight and I need this urgently, please please help if you have the means.

"The lord speaks only through big naturals" is one hell of a sentence

Big day planned: I'm gonna practice walking. Foot injuries are fun to recover from.

This is the ultimate argument against the tech for any Gen Xer

A driver ran a red light and nearly hit me on a crosswalk, and when I looked at the driver and pointed to the red light, she yelled at me and called me a bitch and a 'stupid fucking Karen.' I must say, if you want your insults to mean anything to me, to gotta make them less affirming.

Actually, it feels amazing setting boundaries and cutting out people who cross them. No regrets.

The faculty strike is still on. I'm not doing anything today. I'm going to go read a book at the coffee shop, then get some pizza, then practice guitar, then either find a show to go to or work on some music: a nice day, I think.

Here, have a poem by Gil Scott-Heron: Whitey On the Moon youtu.be/goh2x_G0ct4?...

Sometimes, it doesn't matter how many times you clarify that you can't be someone's therapist because they don't care and still routinely demand emotional labor. I have zero grace for that, and those people are going to be cut out.

This site needs a break. Post 3 good things, none of which are the cessation of a negative. 1. Taking a walk on a rainy morning while listening to music 2. When you get in someone else's car and they're listening to your band's album 3. Spending the day in bed reading

hate HATE

Today is going to be a very hard day for me. I need to have a few talks, and I'll likely end the day with fewer family members in the "still willing to talk to me" column.

I think today I'm downgrading from Pay10 to Pay9 today.

Just saying... The only good in the world is that which we make a fight for.

I think I'm going to turn off everyone's internet. Enjoy it while you can before I have my people downgrade everybody to dial up.
