to be fair, this is a pretty suitable illustration of the concept

i'm the poor stiff whose desk NPR uses for those "tiny desk concerts." every time they do it, i have to get out of my chair and work in the downstairs bathroom or whatever. they don't even care where i go! and then they humiliate me about how small my desk is

come to the Cantab Lounge next Tuesday if you want an ass-whoopin'

it's fun to cover My Bloody Valentine! i tried to keep the sound more minimal than shoegazey and used a jazzed-up chord progression. sounds awesome, i think! 🎸🎹😎 www.patreon.com/posts/148621...

RIP to the Bufflalo Bills. "there's always next year"

it started as a hobby, but i have become a master mixologist. do you know what you get when you mix equal parts Mediterranean gin, amaretto, and limoncello? it tastes *exactly* like Lysol. i discovered that.

venues, i would like to go on record and say that if you ever have to cancel a date with Morrissey, i am happy to jump in as a last-minute replacement act

oh, how the mighty who have fallen and fallen for decades have fallen yet again

she just looks so happy i can hardly take it

they say it's your birthday

he's almost...cute?...but in a sad way?

Whiskey Fridays is where you go after you've earned a lifetime ban from Friendly's for swearing at a kid

*me*: it rules that i'm so good at cooking that i can easily make a whole roasted feast while stoned off my gourd *me 4 minutes later*: oh crap, i just almost threw a large steel spoon into the trash

reskeet this with your home river youtu.be/syIUmrSJWAU?...

my new ID, which finally displays my post-transition name, finally came in the mail today, and i truly feel like a weight has been lifted from me. you always wish to lose the internalized transphobia that needs to be quieted by official validation like this, but god, does that validation feel good

you know how they say laughter is contagious? i think the beauty of communities openly mocking these goons is that the more we do it, the louder we get. and they're such thin-skinned losers that it's a winning tactic. eat a cold dick, ICE!

bad takes, bad takes whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do when they quote dunk you

sorry for the funny angle and backlighting, but this never happens

the people united will never be defeated.

here, have some pictures of Rebe on her birthday to refresh your soul

Renée Nicole Good was a poet. ICE has murdered a poet in cold blood

today is my cat's eighth birthday! everybody say happy birthday to her

Live updates: Around 200 people marched more than two miles from the scene of the shooting to Minneapolis City Hall, shouting “ICE out now!” after police hurried away from the scene Wednesday afternoon. The crowd of is continuing to snake its way through downtown.

ICE is an inherently violent and malevolent entity that must be stopped

people who know me know that my answer has got to be the 1984–1992 song catalogue of one Steven Patrick Morrissey (rip)

me realizing that it's Giallo January

this morning, i'm giving another listen to what i've just decided is my favorite album from last year franklingothic.bandcamp.com/album/echoes

you're all trying to trick me into caring about football, and it's not working. go Bills

I think the beginning and end of what there is to say about Donald Trump is that he gets pleasure out of causing harm. As a serial rapist, that's how he enters the world. The US war machine of course wants oil, but also, Trump doesn't need a reason to cause violence. The violence is the reason.

i hope the whole country is registering how the genuine enthusiasm that surrounds Mamdani's inauguration contrasts with what drubbed-up support still exists for Trump and his fascists, and i especially hope Trump and his fascists are seeing it and shitting themselves

hey i'm drunk and it's 2026

why does nobody tell you that throwing a last-minute party is *more* difficult than throwing a regularly timed party? anyway, through hard work and perseverance, i am having a lovely time this nye 🍾

in a year of global horrors, I moved in with a loving partner, composed a new poetry manuscript, recorded a live album, got a job for a great indie hot sauce company, and took some huge gender-affirmative steps. 2025 deserves its bad name, but i'm grateful for a lot of it

when you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to

Irish Trump Promised by Southern Connecticut Himmler

when you're mean to me, this is who you're being mean to

i finally got a license with my actual gender and real current name on it!

as a young record store clerk, i once sold three jazz LPs to Late Night With Conan O'Brien's band leader, La Bamba. we did not converse

as a retail worker, it's hard for me to interpret businesses continuing to play Christmas songs on loudspeakers after Christmas as anything other than a spiteful attack

might fuck around and become severely depressed

Make a Bond film casual From Russia with Best,

when i was 16, my band was rehearsing in the basement. i was heavy into the Velvet Underground, so that was the sound my father had come downstairs, and as soon as we finished our song, he said, "Lou Reed sucks," then left

i'm suffering a touch of delayed-reaction Yuletide Family Angst today

the Hague is too good for them

Rebe got a lot of presents this year

Happiest Ska-lidays from us to yours, and don't forget to wrap it up wrap it up wrap it up wrap it up 🎺🎁
