2025 was the most negative year of my adult life, redeemed a little by discovering new bands. #LambriniGirls Joy as an act of resistance. I was into the riot girl scene at 13 & utterly enchanted It feels like I have come full circle. “It’s cuntology 101, bitch.” youtu.be/20TDd19oA1Q?...

Because, sometimes, it’s our #routine that #keepsusalive The raw grief in this song but the unexpected catharsis. And here’s your trivia for the day: partly inspired by Joyce Carol Vincent, a woman who died in her apartment & was not discovered for over 2 years. youtu.be/sh5mWzKlhQY?...

I have had 3 friends die this year due to alcohol/drugs. I am not anti-drug. I am however anti-dying-from-drugs. Please know your limits & please ask for help if it gets out of hand. Dharma & SMART recovery are 2 AA/NA alternatives. #recovery #Dharma #SMART #AA #NA

#nature #camping Don’t forget to look UP. The left side of the mountain (pictured last) was our destination. A tiny platform can be seen if you zoom in; that’s where we were. 2300 ft above sea level

Oh, America. #heartbroken #Trumpadministration #Protest

The surprise of the summer/fall

Wtaf I log onto social media & I instantly wish I hadn’t. Trying to get my shit together while the world falls apart. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

For those of you that do festivals… #SHAKYKNEES!!!!! (I screeched when I saw the lineup). Lambrini Girls, the Pixies, My Chemical Romance, Idles, Spoon, Deftones, Cage the Rlephant, the Black Keys, TV on the Radio, Vampire Weekend, Franz Ferdinand, Murder by Death… And WEIRD AL!!!!!

@listigeplaylists.bsky.social Here’s my Spotify; Orville Peck is well represented, Paul Cauthen is on the list, too. open.spotify.com/playlist/1d3... #SpotifyPlaylist #PaulCauthen #OrvillePeck #TheUnrighteousBrothers #UnchainedMelody

Depression is like having a lead weight chained to my foot, Anxiety is like a vise in my chest, a cacophony in my head. …current events & the people that support it all...it’s too much. This video might trigger but it’s how I feel. Spravato eval tomorrow. #Spravato #TheVerve #Depression

#Spravato #Esketamine #TRD #MDD #BipolarDisorder #BPD #OCD #Anxiety #Neuroplasticity Next week I resume esketamine treatment. It was halted last December due to transportation issues. The nearest clinic was 90 miles away from where I live. My Dr. has opened one 30 miles away. #Hope

“Mama, we’re all gonna die.” It’s been a DAAAAAY. #MyChemicalRomance #Mama #TheWall #PinkFloyd youtu.be/B8liy0pDq5Y?...

Both a great and terrible book, None Left to Tell recounts the 1857 Mountain Meadow massacre orchestrated by LDS & blamed upon “the Indians”. While engrossing & informative it was heartbreaking to read. #BookSky💙📚Nonelefttotell

#opossum #trashcat Went out our carport door and was about to throw something in the trash can we keep out there, & I saw this cute little face

#TheSandman #Orpheus #TheSongofOrpheus #RuairiO'Connor Honestly, one of the most beautiful things I have heard. Like having the wind knocked out of you, breathtaking. youtu.be/5O2ZPoGeO4c?...

Watching The Sandman & though I am WELL past this episode, it is one of my favorite images of Desire, because just look…undeniable beauty. Mason Alexander is perfect. Neil Gaiman just HAD to be a sleazeball in real life 😑 #TheSandman #MasonAlexander #Desire

Trivia fact: Lindsey Buckingham, Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl and Josh Homme are badass. That’s it. That’s the fact. #QueensoftheStoneAge #LindseyBuckingham #DaveGrohl #JoshHomme #TrentReznor #Grammys #CopyofaCopy #MyGodistheSun youtu.be/x1lbbT7MRfA?...

Useless trivia fact: I would have given a non-essential toe to have been there. …. Your ACTUAL fact: Trent Reznor is 60 years young 😍 #TrentReznor #GaryNuman #Metal #NineInchNails #NIN youtu.be/ehMqEXUspfs?...

#BookSky💙📚 #AmericanDirt #JeanineCummins When you find a book that is near-impossible to put down. I need to sleep, dammit 😅

#StephenColbert #MountainGoats I am going to make it through #ThisYear if it kills me. youtu.be/T_qkVPZ8DJI?...

#Trump can’t stand anyone with talent or wit, the cockwomble. thehill.com/homenews/med...

#Nirvana #aneurysm Tied with Territorial Pissings as favorite song after 3 decades. youtu.be/aIr_IXXLZ8Q?...

This dumb dumb slithered right into my front tire. I ran around the passenger side & honked the horn, cranked the car, but NOPE!, this rope was GONE, up in my cars guts. So that was fun. #snakesofbluesky

#EasyRider #BobDylan #ItsAllRightMaImOnlyBleeding Watched Easy Rider at 16 & thought the cinematography was unsurpassed almost 3 decades after its release. The soundtrack was incredible but it included THIS jewel with some of the best lyrics ever written. EVER. youtu.be/h1ANKnaJxDA?...

❤️ Ben Folds #BenFoldsFive

Feed cleanse? Mine is anxiety-inducing & at the same time I am so tired of this shit. Everybody bending the knee to Trump is urge-to-purge inducing. Have some flowers

“If you hold on to a chorus you can get through the night.” Meatloaf was amazing. Fight me 😊 Trivia facts: Directed by Michael Bay Featuring Angelina Jolie youtu.be/T3Iay1J87x4?...

#triphop I love introducing people to #Portishead, particularly their #RoselandNYC performance. Portishead is a mood. youtu.be/HbSu2UM8kcQ?...

@listigeplaylists.bsky.social #KingGizzardandtheLizardWizard Highly talented (as well as quirky, their videos are a trip) musicians that pump out an album at least once a year. open.spotify.com/track/4soZjB...

Mailman delivered a package to the door as I was doing my best Issa Pointer while doing laundry, he heard everything. I was embarrassed, he seemed amused. These ladies are legendary, (those harmonies 😍), so no regrets. I don’t think I sound AWFUL but my kid tells me to stop singing. FREQUENTLY 🤔

The #StockdaleParadox #AdmiralJamesStockdale His plane was shot down over North Vietnam. He ejected & parachuted into enemy territory, was captured & imprisoned for 7 years in the “Hanoi Hilton” POW camp. Just stumbled upon the paradox named for him. modelthinkers.com/mental-model...

A cat having a panic attack seems ludicrous but, yeah, my cat has panic attacks. It is tornado season here & every year, our cat becomes pitiful during storms. Anxious to the point of throwing up & will hide INSIDE our chaise for however long the storm lasts, distressed…

“Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” Frank Lloyd Wright Making things grow has always been a hobby. The last four years I have gotten to a point where THIS is my peace & almost euphoria.

It’s been 15+ years since its release but if you have never watched #FullMetalAlchemist:Brotherhood, even if you don’t like anime, you should watch it. It does not indulge in too many of the anime tropes. I watch it about every year as a brain enema.

I get the hate for #AI. It was fun for a time. But when it starts to cause actual harm, be it social narratives, such as the liar’s dividend (becoming a thing here, see below) or financial harm to content creators, it’s no longer amusing but annoying, at the least. www.britannica.com/topic/misinf...

My #phlox bloomed! My daily round up of bug pics… #leaffootedbug #baldfacedwasp #orbweaver The orb weavers that look like #skulltula from #legendofzelda always are a favorite to see (last pic, not the greatest). They SCUTTLE 😍

#KishiBashi 1:36 #Summerof42 begins USE(less)/(full) quote “Hope for the best expect the worst.” Old proverb Never stop loving. Never stop listening. Never stop doing. Never stop dreaming. Find joy & beauty where you can & look for it when you can’t. Because it’s all around us.

Useful or useless quote: “If you’re going through hell keep going.” It’s 5:30 pm & not even “real” summer. Camping/hiking aren’t going to be in the forecast any time soon 😩 more likely: books. Give me all the best books of ‘25.

#BookSky💙📚 It’s as hot as hell’s front porch outside but I finally stumbled onto a novel that’s ended a string of sadly mediocre reads. #TheFlowerSisters #MichelleCollinsAnderson

Every day is #caturday. And “yay!” for that. Here you see Poe, an extremely odd cat (possibly adored even more because of that), licking our walk-in shower. The walls are dry so I have no clue why 🤷🏻‍♀️

I accidentally stumbled across this when on Reddit. 12 minutes. He lasted 12 MINUTES. Here’s the article 😆 nypost.com/2025/06/18/u...

“…So I opened my door to my enemy & asked to wipe the slate clean but he just told me to go and f@ck myself, you know you just can’t win.” Convinced this was written about Roger Waters. From the album the Division Bell, performed during the Pulse tour.

The orange cat, previously posted, made me think of THIS orange cat, Jorts. If you don’t know Jorts (and Jean) you should really get acquainted. It’s hilarious & redeeming at the same time. Get ya some serotonin, dopamine & endorphins via wholesome cat tale.

Orange cats 🐈

Scrolling through the “Discover” feed is disheartening at times. The WRONGNESS of it all, the casual disregard for humanity…Pausing to revel in something you find beautiful, even for a fleeting moment, is imperative. I see so many people hurting & there’s nothing I can do other than offer words.

#Tool #Parabol #Parabola starts at 4:08 The first comment is “This edible ain’t shi-“ Which had me chortling, because it’s Tool. youtu.be/-_nQhGR0K8M

Going on #Clearsky or following #listifications is a waste of energy. It costs absolutely nothing to be kind; if someone wants to put you on a list, let them. It’s their loss. Whatever they write about you, YOU know it’s not true. “What’s so funny about peace love and understanding?”

#gladiolus Look at this astonishingly upright gladiolus, the bane of my existence. It hasn’t fallen over yet! It will if I don’t stake it (which I need to figure out how I’m going to do) but as of right now, it is a head shorter than I stand.
