The best time you're going to have listening to a podcast today is @nogodsnomayors.com where November knows way too much and Mattie knows way too little about the story Riley is telling. Bonus that this story is such a gift to November, I wondered if it was her birthday.

They're good, listen to them!!!!!

I may have to transfer my allegiance to the freaking Kraken because Alaska will never have a team.

For the first time in the decade plus since I moved back to NC I am not into Canes hockey and it's 100% because of the US Men's Team being jerkfaces after the Olympics win. Watch them win the freaking cup the year I freaking won't enjoy it.

I just now realized that I am using my choices in podcast listening to explain my own neurodivergencies to myself through the mediums of historical disasters and media criticism through a transgender lens. Absolutely embarking on an emotional journey, sorry I didn't warn you.

Is it just me or does that look like butter?

I haven't been into music lately due to ND stuff but a track off this album closed out @trashfuture.bsky.social today and it is the first time a track has hit my brain like that in years. Reminded me of hanging out with my college friends playing songs on the radio in a very visceral way.

Thank you @knowledgefight.bsky.social

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

I have been healthy too long. I am way overdue for a lingering cold that turns into bronchitis and now my brain is being super weird about it.

This painting is titled "Big Step II" and is part of the "Fractured Light" series by contemporary artist Michele Poirier-Mozzone. The piece captures a dynamic, low-angle perspective of a figure in a red swimsuit stepping through water. It is known for its impressionistic style.

Please please please join the Patreon for @begaysolvecrimes.bsky.social - today's bonus was about the mid 00s Nancy Drew with the ever delightful @victoriascott.bsky.social and it was the some of the best gosh darned podcasting I have ever heard. It's really something you must Nancy do!

Finished Separation of Church and Hate by @johnfugelsang.bsky.social today and it made me kinda sad. He makes a lot of good points backed by good scripture but in my experience Jesus Fans won't listen to me about religion because I have never been Christian.

Tran Girlismo could be the new car talk for Info Wars. It's my right as a former austinite

Wow I can't believe the US military monster, the unlimited money eating machine, would do something this incompetent. *opens history book to 2003* Oh right. Nevermind.

Ok I lied I have room for exactly one more news event before the weekend and its this.

Every so often I stop and remember there is a broken arrow incident lost nuke less than an hour from me.

Which is to say - do the things that bring you joy without needing excuses because I could have an entire MOC Lego set of the Alaska Railroad by now.

Dang but the "realizing I'm AuDHD and not ADHD" to putting together a train MOC Lego set pipeline is a short one.

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately

As someone who has been coming to terms with seeing herself as an artist and whose art isn't good, this is validating

That @bloodwork.show episode was great. Now, I’m on to the @failuretolaunch.bsky.social episode with everyone’s favorite rail engineer @garethdennis.uk. So much good podcasting going on right now.

SURE, A JOE ROGAN FDA SOUNDS GREAT.

The piss tape is real

I'd like to point out now that Gen Z is currently between 14-29 which means that A LOT of them are over 21. Signed a geriatric millennial who is still killing things.

What a week for Knowledge Fight to take a Friday off. I'm alternating between giggling and wishing for Monday.

I honestly don't like guns and don't like creating art of them but Bloodwork is that important

@jkass99.bsky.social is on @bloodwork.show today to talk about genocide. It's terrible and important, and it is happening now. We need conversations like these. Listen to Bloodwork (Portrait of Lyudmila Pavlichenko by me)

@mayor.nyc.gov: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

Exactly one year ago today:

I'm sitting here being confused about finding antiques from the 90s as if I'm not the same person who tracked down and ordered Tom Clark gnomes and still have a Kirk's Folly bracelet.

Pretty much started cheering when @goingmedieval.bsky.social started talking about her anarchic non-monogamy on @werenotsodiff.bsky.social today. My heart sister is poly and her family owns property and raises kids together. So I *love* seeing more normalized representations from my parasocial faves

Naming your cats after people is such a good idea because you get to say things like "Every time I go to the bathroom, Oscar Wilde dashes into the room and tries to get into my pants"

I love @knowledgefight.bsky.social for Dan's insight into the mad mind of Alex Jones, Jordan reacting the way I want to, and understanding the weird right better than I ever could. But also, Dan's bright spot was Nutella Ice Cream Cones the other day and those things are fantastic. Thanks!!

I'm going to be starting some soft arts and crafts, witchy auntie, and ADHD adult media. Probably tiktoks and YouTube. I'm afraid of making my ass public but there needs to be more loving gentle voices out there telling you that yes the world is shit, but I'm proud of you anyway.

Disco Elysium rocked face for many reasons but one was because it wasn't afraid to actually say things with meaning

Juniper at @killthecomputer.com mentioned that the best weather is zero degrees with a foot of snow and my Alaskan heart is just hit with yearning. And it's April! Winter hasn't even stopped in Fairbanks yet.

Holy fucking what the fuck part 2

Holy fucking what the fuck????

It is perfectly fine to have totally normal opinions. T-Rex is the best dinosaur. I love roses. Christmas is lovely. You don't always have to be unique for the sake of being unique. Embrace your basic along with your goblin.

I have very vague memories of watching rockets go up in my childhood and being amazed. Nowhere near as close as this. I'm so glad something so breathtaking still gets to happen.

@bloodwork.show this week was amazing and frankly terrifying. Listen to Blood Work. @begaysolvecrimes.bsky.social this week was amazing and much less terrifying, and also prompted me to draw this luger for Blood Work. You'll need to listen for why.

My husband and I just Lady and the Tramp kissed over a piece of asparagus.

Speaking of trucks - I have been wondering for a while why I am so viscerally against those giant pickups with extended cabs and therefore shortened beds.

Ah spring in the south, the semen trees abloom, the entire neighborhood smelling of spunk

I guess the good part is that I'm now not joking when I call something my emotional support podcast. My brain was trying to go big sad but my emotions were supported.

Here's the engineering disasters podcast that bafflingly soothes me to sleep. Personal bonus that one of the events discussed here is shockingly close to where I am now.

My brain tried to go bad on me today but both my emotional support cool trans ladies talking about something I know nothing about podcast and my emotional support engineering disasters podcast released new episodes. Neither of these were happy, in fact both depressing. My brain loves them.

Here's a really excellent podcast from @kavehmd.bsky.social with guest Dr. Arghavan Salles discussing the conflict in Iran from a Persian diaspora perspective. It's a good reminder that Iranian people are not a monolith, just like any other group of people. open.spotify.com/episode/7CPV...
