I'm looking to cancel my Spotify subscription & someone told me about Tidal. Does anyone have a subscription &, if so, do you rate it 👍 or 👎? Also, does it have podcasts? Any good podcast app recs?

Got a few strands of Xmas lights up earlier. Had a problem with the step ladder sinking in the mud & becoming lopsided while standing on it so the rest will have to wait

Since my gallbladder attack then removal, I've consumed almost no caffeine & my diet has changed pretty drastically. Tho it's all for the better, my body's definitely taking time to adjust to healthier food & practically no caffeine Sometimes feel like my internal fire is just a candle flicker

Bloop

Just a reminder that Aaron Swartz was threatened with 50 years of jail time for downloading public domain documents and meanwhile AI companies bulk download copyrighted works

I still have 1 hour, 20 minutes left in Star Wars Holiday Special & I'm already considering murdering @senatormeow.bsky.social for making me watch this

I think remembering that, along with the usual list of positives of the U.S Post Office whenever it's being attacked in order to privatize it, crediting them with keeping Santa from the asylum shouldn't be left off the list

Spent amlazy morning watching Xmas movies. Part way through Miracle on 34th St. I can't believe I've never watched this

I honestly don't care if Trump sucked a dick. The only part of that storyline that matters to me is the reactionary liberals revealing many are still largely hemophobic

Went to Schott's Antique Show & bought a few things, one of them being this little RATT button from the 80s. The vendor told me he recently scored some Randy Rhoads memorabilia but he didn't have it with him. I would have dropped some serious 💸 (for me) for the Rhoads memorabilia

Today is the feast day of Dorothy Day, Catholic anarchist who died on this day (11/29) in 1980

I love this dummy show. Think I'll hire them for my wedding. Should be a big hit #svengoolie

Folks, it may just be me but this puppet doesn't seem to be on the up & up #svengoolie

Worst Puppet show Ever #svengoolie

Just in time for #Svengoolie Let's go! I already hate that dummy in the back seat 😨

Starting off with "Trancers." Haven't seen it before. Has an interesting pulp feel. Like zombies meet Dragnet

A Xmas tradition I'm starting to enjoy as much as putting up decorations (which is a lot). I've never completed the challenge but I don't think that's the point. It's about the adventure, for me

Sorry to interrupt any festivities but we're running a Black Friday special. We open at 9 AM & the first 100 customers in the door will receive an envelope containing something special. Deets are below. See you then!

Was thinking of all the white socialists bros I know who knock religious ppl. Yet, when I got sick, not one of those socialist bros reached out to me in any way. It was religious friends, Black anarchists, Black socialists, & ppl of no particular political persuasion besides hating the system

Appreciation for the 1000s of Buddhists doing prayers & mantra for the slaughter of 46,000,000 turkeys for a fake holiday based on indigenous genocide

This is a plan to legitimize the rein of terror, not curb it. This is to achieve a more favorable aesthetic for the Democrat constituency and get the suburban wine moms back in support of imprisoning brown people. This is saving fascism from itself.

Word has it the dems will also make sure ICE has rainbow painted vehicles for Pride Month

Just watched a Moomins cartoon with the fam. My is definitely my favorite character

"The righteousness of God is not the righteousness of states or courts. Divine justice is not adjudication but abundance; not judgment, but the refusal to withhold."

Vegas is such a trashy track. I remember last year's f1 in Vegas when plastic bags kept flying onto the track.

There's currently a live lego performance of Phantom of the Opera happening on tiktok lol www.tiktok.com/t/ZPH3K1UKoq...

I dug up my micro lense attachments & started playing around with them. Saw this little fella on a wet leaf & captured an ok pic. #photography

I haven't taken my camera out much over this past year. I'm considerong buying a new one & reapplying myself to photography. I often find great joy & peace in photography along with a good thrill from time to time

Foggy morning on my way to work

What's the outrage with the House voting to condemn socialism? Who thought these swine weren't capitalists? If you're outraged, that's a shame on you If we'd ever pay attention to actual reality, we'd already know they're capitalists & wouldn't have been supporting them (if we're not capitalists)

How touching that the Trump administration is so concerned about innocent ppl. Seems very genuine, especially when considering how the ICE raids have been

I'm hearing a ton of sirens from High St. Is there rioting after the OSU game?

I haven't haven't caffeine, with the exception of the miniscule bit that may be in some chocolate chips, in 8 days. But no coffee, caffeinated teas or pop. I didn't start drinking coffee until I entered college but used to just drink tea. I think I may reclaim that old practice.

Reminds me of that study about how white men from the south are more likely to get insulted and aggressive when they face conflict than men from northern states. But also all cops are like that.

Miles Davis' "Porgy & Bess" kind of late morning

Surgery went well & I slept most of the day. I haven't been experiencing pain, just some discomfort. The med team said, besides my gallbladder, I'm in very good health (knock on wood). They did a great job in general at bringing comfort prior to the surgery Thank you e1 who showed support

Waiting to be knocked out

"My partner, my partner, don't tell me an untruth, but where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines..."

In the #giftideas and #shamelesselfpromotion vein, My Four and More recommended my adorable little daily reader, A Daily Dose of Now in its gift guide for moms. #booksky #writingcommunity #mindfulness #meditation #365books myfourandmore.com/christmas-st...

Surgery scheduled for tomorrow. My insurance is so awesome that I only have to pay $5,000 for an essential surgery 🫠

People probably don't realize that the entire Clinton presidency was Bill passing awful austerity, deregulation, and hyper carceral legislation with Republican votes while Republicans were constantly trying to destroy him. This is what Biden tried to revive.

"What type of Yule/Winter Solstice ritual/magic[k] could I do this year?" Go look in your pantry and your closets and donate non perishables and lightly used Winter clothes to food banks and your local shelters. That's the magic plain & simple.

Please let these dinosaurs kill everyone of these people #Svengoolie

Snuggle time. Also, she's snoring 😄

My mom gave me my baby book, she had kept the bill from my birth in 1985, it was $1413.00 Compared to my daughter’s birth in 2024 which was $55,000.00

I'm finally home. I'll be saying bye to my gall bladder in the next couple weeks. Pretty basic procedure, in & out on the same day. Thanks for your well wishes, everyone

High on dalauded in the hospital. Some severe symptoms earlier including severe internal pain so was admitted to the E.R Fingers crossed

Did a late evening qigong practice. It was refreshing. I felt my mind quiet in a way it hasn't for quite some time. A release of pent up emotions followed along with a sense of freedom with an opened heart.

I hope Michael Rapaport is having an awful day
