i was put in contact with one of the artists at the shop i want to go to. i guess he books appointments online so that's cool. the bonus is that he his bio linked his death metal band. i don't know if it's anything but vibes but i could tell it was an erie band in the first 5 seconds of the song.

i am frustrated because the only shop in relative proximity to me that does us traditional tattoos is 40 minutes away and only sets appointments in person. gas is expensive af right now

i think i'm done with instacart. the person marked all my items found then the order arrives with most of it missing and items in it wrong. then they didn't respond when i messaged. i try to be generous with people working gig jobs but damn

i am basically a desiccated husk at this point but that new converge album hits hard. it had me speeding like a teenager. i thought i was permanently in the "accidentally driving 5mph below the limit" crew for the rest of my days. haha

just one of those nights where i can't play a single goddamn pat song without crying through half of it www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ0M...

I have been officially inducted int a circle of "bitches". Now entering my straight man, gay lifestyle era.

Got to play with power tools this morning and I'm going to a show tonight. Not bad for a Saturday.

you could say i've become a fanboy. i'm still experimenting with sounds and feel on the electric. i haven't even touched pedals and amps. it's a lot of fun learning about this stuff.

i'm taking vitamin D because of fatigue. it's working but like... now i have more time to be bored

so it wasn't specified on the invite page but the entertainment at this pride fundraiser was a drag show. it was my first and it was super fun. also i spent way too much trying to win silent auctions. worth it. the only thing that saved my wallet is not one wanted to go to the bar after.

i'm going to a fundraiser for the local pride celebration tonight. i thought i was going to be able to drop a fair amount but then got my taxes back and remembered i have to pay for a bagster to get moved. oh well, i can still drop some. i love a silent auction

dr said the bloodwork indicates diabetes. it has been maybe 2 years since i got bloodwork but there hasn't been any indication other than being relatively fatigued lately. if i am in fact diabetic, this is going to be bad. i don't think i have the discipline in me to keep the diet i'll need to

i very much need the used book store on my street to reopen. sometimes i want to browse books for the comfort it brings my brain

Love this anecdote from Joseph Cohen’s “The Jewish Anarchist Movement in America.” Describing a comrade who joined the Sunrise Colony, a commune that formed in the 30s near Detroit and later moving to Virginia: this guy was so happy to be free of currency that he would sit and yell at his coins.

just had a boomer in my meeting say she learned a new woke phrase "quality of life" i hate this job

Among infinite worlds, anomalies are bound to occur. A grain of sand in the cosmic machine; your ability to shift worlds is just that. Explore new worlds in #Duality, a new #ttrpg system "Duality is a really good system, and Matt made a really good module" - Andre, @andreriveraart.bsky.social

here's a PSA: if you have a guitar or other stringed instrument that you haven't played in a while, go loosen them strings. i just picked up a strat from a family friend who hasn't played it in ~10 years. the action is 2mm too high at the twelfth fret. it's fixable but could have been prevented

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there. They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

had dinner with a friend i haven't seen in a decade or so. it was really nice but underscores how shitty it is to come back to an empty apartment

foudn out the owner of one of the local breweries is a transphobe so i guess i'm not going there anymore

now that elon has apparently embraced christianity, i wonder if he's yet run across luke 19:1-10. verse 8 seems particularly pertinent

Damn, you lost your soul but didn’t even gain the whole world? I’m embarrassed for you.

made plans to see a friend tonight but i'm so fuckin tired. maybe i'll take a little cat nap on company time

feeling really great today. man, this is a nice change

this one's gonna be good, folks. get hyped!

am i just bored and sick or is the lisinopril also making me feel fatigued? don't get old, kids

People who like AI art will buy a beautiful mid century house and paint over a beautiful brick and natural wood floors with the ugliest shade of grey

the pup needs food and i am fighting with everything in me to leave the house and get it for her. fuuuuuuuck my brain

i have absolutely no excuses not to take the pup for a long walk today but i can't seem to summon the damn energy

am i dissociating from the state of the world or the fact that my bp was so high the dr almost sent me to the er this morning? only God knows at this point

i have been playing guitar a lot. i'd guess at least an hour a day. so of course i notice when the strings start to go. it's taking between two and three weeks before they start sounding dull. i wonder if ernie ball would give me a bulk discount...

got a huge fucking gas bill this month. they still haven't fixed the door to my fire escape. time to become the tenant from hell until it's fixed

Got some stickers in from punk with a camera and added this baby to the ol geetar

woke up with this line in my head "hey comrade, we're from the working classes maybe you and me could fuck in the ashes" it's from a song called "horny during the apocalypse". it doesn't really exist but i wish i had the skills to write it. haha i think i'm finally getting enough sleep at night

"We have fed you all for a thousand years" is attributed to "an unknown proletarian" i have no solid reason to believe this but i think it was written by a black person.

the algorithms have been feeding me funny dating profile memes and screenshots. i have been thinking of trying to make an unhinged one myself. how is this opening line? "my perfect date would be going to a junkyard or empty lot, drinking malt liquor, and discussing proudhon"

Big-up to Swedish people for putting pickled stuff in breakfast spreads.

welp. i almost left on time but the dryer failed to dry the pants i need overnight.

i love salt and vinegar chips i love how they exfoliate my mouth

there's a black, progressive woman running for office in my very white, very rural district. i don't vote or believe in the sort of change electoral politics tries to enact but i'm thinking of donating to and voting for her to piss off everyone with the trump merch everywhere

i'm re-learning "i hope i'm stoned when jesus takes me home" on guitar. the key change from g to g# has me learning about all kinds of new muscles in my hand and arm. lol

i wonder if, should i put it on fiver or something, people would actually hire me to read their game rulebooks for clarity. like, for $35 i'll read it to make sure it's clear and give notes (up to like 30 pages, more pages negotiable), for $75 i'll also give suggestions on how to clarify/streamline

there's a verse from Dropkick Muphys's "Bastards On Parade": if you can look into this old face and try to see the young man i swear i once was pretty not the monster you now see i laugh when i think about how this resonated at 25. it's much more pertinent now at 40.

valentine's day was weird this year. i was sad because i miss having a partner but it was also a relief in that i wasn't stressed about letting anyone down. i also spent the weekend with my family and my nephews are always a source of joy. coming back to the empty apartment is still the worst

according to information i could find before conflicting statements made my brain shut off, bridge pins are normally manufactured larger than usually needed so they can compensate for the holes widening over time. one can sand them down if needed. BUT info i could find says my guitar need 5.33mm

almost got a full 5x5 this week. my issue seems to be that i will focus on one or two albums at a time and the rest are songs that play randomly when the album ends or i'm driving.
