go on, child. tell your daddy that you saw mommy kissing Santa Claus. go and ruin three lives. see if God forgives you

"all religions are bullshit" my friend, the whole world is bullshit. some of us just find comfort in sharing a system of faith by which to process it

I love you so much New York. stay safe & let em know

i've been watching a show tonight, that's like some kind of a theater, of mystery science

no offense, but i'm so glad not to be a football fan today. i love to follow only one sport, and i'm glad it's in its offseason

still feeling very "what the fuck" about this

today, i got a "happy thanksgiving" call from my parents that they rounded out by telling me they wouldn't be visiting me for Christmas because my pregnant sister who hasn't spoken to me in 10 years is due in mid-December. what a timely reminder that my family is fucking terrible 🥰

the thanksgivening, part I: the brined seitan

ever since i gave up trying to spend it with family, i kind of like thanksgiving. i simply love puttering around the kitchen making little dishes and sauces

it took me until adulthood to realize how good sweet potatoes were bc my family would only have them at Thanksgiving and my mom always made them mashed together with pineapple

the silver lining of this otherwise emotionally fraught time of year is that i love pie so much that it's the only time when i'm likely to get close to the amount of pie i yearn for

i'm really proud of this shoegazey version of Jen's Lekman's "Black Cab" that i just cooked up for my Patreon's monthly cover. like "Black Cab" meets Black Tambourine www.patreon.com/posts/144298...

in July, Charles hosted a reading circle for NWU members. the others were older. i was the only visibly queer person. i'd brought my poem about Wendy Carlos, and before i could eke out my intro about her, Charles was all over it, with enthusiasm. at once, i felt seen and at home. rest well, comrade

should i walk half an hour uphill in the rain to go to temple today y/n important to note that my soul is in tatters

these were a disaster. mine is a spiteful god

due to having blue cheese and rice paper at the same time, i am making "blue cheese rangoons," defying God to stop me

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

until, let's say, March, i am resolved that my only thoughts about the Orioles will be "it sure is a shame about last season" and "i am a fan of the Baltimore Orioles." for now, in the palace of my mind, people like Mike Elias simply do not exist

*hears "Santa, Baby" for the 50th time in three retail shifts* it is so pathetic how badly this lady wants to fuck Santa Claus.

filing a claim against my ex-landlord was so easy! like checking out at CVS —may i help you? i'd like to sue my landlord, please —let's see these forms... okay! how will you be paying the filing fee? debit card? —sure! and here is your receipt. would you like a bag?" oh, this is already in the bag

an old friend is taking me to see Jens Lekman tonight! i've been listening to loungy indie pop music with kitchen sink lyrics all day. i'm so pumped, but in an earnest and cute way!

one dazzling aspect of John Darnielle's songwriting is that he can tell a story that may be tough for a casual listener to follow, but his lyrics will still be so clever, heartfelt, and epigrammatic that the words will still hit like bricks

the Watergate scandal really does seem pretty quaint these days, doesn't it

just two tracks into the new Mountain Goats album, and i'm totally spellbound—even more so than usual with them. i don't think an album has made me feel quite this way in a hot minute

just worked 6 hours straight with a 45-minute commute home, and i am gonna cook some night pasta the fastest that night pasta has ever been cooked
