Fun watching people tap on the bar while a band is playing and being able to tell what instruments they play.

@ass.golf I saw Shiner tonight. Thanks for being the only person (other than in associated bands) who knows who the fuck they are. 23 years waiting for this show and it's exquisite.

Maybe my fault but when I called Dr. Feelgood PHD I expected a better outcome than feeling "alright." Modicum of disappointment.

Happy first day of fall! The return of cool air and cloudy skies has me slowly morphing into my most powerful form. 🍁🍂 Drawn in Procreate with the Freycinet brush, 2023.

doctor: your blood pressure is a little high me: [alive in the year 2025] well that’s weird

AUTUMN APPROACHES

It's midnight, I'm renovating my RV and taking a break to check my phone. It must look really inviting in here because that me and that feral cat jumpscared the FUCK out of each other.

Suddenly it's 4 am and all your friends are asleep and you're reading REALLY DEEP meanings into Echo & The Bunnymen songs.

as a queer person making art i know all too well the ways in which the knife positions itself to come for us all, but man its tiring to see sex workers and pornographers treated exclusively like a kind of unfortunate canary

Enjoy some down-home spooky storytime, by one of the modern masters. We've wanted this one for a long time.

Therapist appointment: "Any advice?" "When the emotional mind takes over, pivot it to rational mind." "I'm good at that. But then the rational starts screaming and the emotional says LOOK EVEN THEY'RE FREAKING OUT!" "And then the wise mind says Shut The Fuck Up." "Good call."

Reporter: And a sense of helplessness because there's nothing you can do about it. Marche: Oh, we're not helpless. There's lots we can do. It's you guys that are helpless. You have a political system that can't respond to reality. THIS WAS SUCH AN AMERICAN COMMENT BY THE REPORTER HOLY GOD.

I do think there is a crown in the gutter waiting for the first major metropolitan police force to stand up to ICE, just massive amounts of public goodwill up for grabs

Seems extremely bad that the military remains deployed in Los Angeles and there doesn't seem to be anything that people with power are doing about it.

Might be a good time to remind folks of the No ICE in California itch bundle raising funds for the immigrant defenders law center (or you can donate to them directly) itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

Why do 90% of messaging app icons have to be blue. Takes me 3 tries before I get to the one I'm attempting to communicate upon.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in Los Angeles and California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.

There's a certain amount of bitterness that comes with your body just refusing to cooperate. It should drive me to appreciate the good days more, but I am sadly far from perfect.

History is repeating, only worse.

Constant mood

Laying on the couch being like "This appliance has a narrative."

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

EVERGREEN.

I live in LA, you're gonna get political content for a while until I'm back in my house and not worried if gun-toting uniforms are going to steal my neighbors.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

For those who celebrate.

Holy shit this video is actually happening Watch till the end it gets uncanny

It is bizarre the way people with guns, bulletproof vests, riot shields, tanks, and other military gear act like rocks are an equal threat. It’s madness! If you are scared of rocks and think the punishment for having them thrown at you should be death, you shouldn’t be in law enforcement!

We are 5 months into a brazenly lawless administration and the Democrats’ primary tactic for holding them accountable is to ask for Republican permission to consider the idea of future consequences

My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims. It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.

We’re going to need so many Nurembergs

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Had some more to say on the "riots" and "invasion" in LA. If it’s a "riot," it’s the police who are rioting. If there’s an “invasion” of LA, it’s the US military that is invading.

The official government account for the Department of Homeland Security Twitter is hideous with malicious anti-liberal memes and full-on retro style propaganda. I'm horrified. And scared. Contrary to belief I do read books. I do watch documentaries. And this looks VERY familiar.

If Trump is willing to illegally roll the military into multiple Democratic states to quell a civil unrest that isn't happening, what do you think he's going to do during an election?

I have been in LA the past few days, often blocks away from everything that’s happening. Never once has the actual protest happening made me feel unsafe. The only thing that has had made me feel like I’m in danger is the constant police sirens blaring and helicopters circling. That is solely it.

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

Hey Herb Scribner of the WaPo, any reason to omit Doechii including trans people in her BET speech? She did. Right in the middle of speaking up for other oppressed people.

Today, it is absolutely business as usual in LA. Even my friends who live well within the city, there ain't much to report. The big source of distress is 2000 emergency troops coming in, for what?

I'm at the housing crisis I'm at the Third Amendment I'm at the combination housing crisis Third Amendment

Watching people explain what CA is like and I just want to add that however big you think it is, it's bigger than that. However diverse you think it is, it’s more. However long you think you have to drive in any direction to leave the state, keep going

Downtown Los Angeles, 1937

This absolute icon at Canterbury Pride 🩷🤍🩵

In typical fashion, finally heard that Hot To Go song, while my fella was playing Fortnite. Very catchy but feels like a meme song from a children's show.

People tell me I should start a horror analysis blog/videos/etc but I think they're just sick of seeing my rambling paragraphs at 3am.
