my view is that everyone should be able to earn a living wage doing whatever it is they like. if you love working in a bookshop, you should be able to live a comfortable life doing so. if you loving being a barista, the same. and if you want to do more traditional blue collar work, that’s cool too!

Hello. After months and months of self-consciously self-promoting, the day has finally come. I WANT TO BURN THIS PLACE DOWN is available wherever books are sold. www.harpercollins.com/products/i-w...

Can we skip the talking stage and just go straight to us on a warm summer night tangled up in each other while reading silly books on a back porch?

I felt briefly like I was a part of something that was once potentially good.

My current favorite song off of Moving Mountains' brand new record, Pruning of the Lower Limbs. "Everyone is Happy, and Nothing is Good" youtu.be/I1rMY4e0IP0

Computers used to scream every time they connected to the Internet. They knew. They tried to warn us. We did not listen.

I wish this summer was shaping up to be a little more Barbie and a lot less Oppenheimer

I was a teenager in the early aughts, and it felt out-of-step with so much mainstream opinion to speak out against war. What is happening now is cruel and sad and wrong, and you don't have to let anyone make you feel bad for thinking and saying so.

Every trans person out there, every single one, exhibits more bravery and integrity every single day simply living the life they're meant to live than every conservative politician pushing disgusting anti-trans laws into effect, and every craven liberal who's too chicken shit to stand up in defence.

Bands need more unisex tank top merch. If you're a sick band and have tank tops, especially soft comfy ones that dudes with long torsos can wear and look good, let me know

Damn another new low from the operators of the New Low Machine. Surely they’ll turn it off soon.

Had to finally make the decision dreaded by all vinyl enthusiasts: recycle the stacks of cardboard mailers I'd convinced myself I'd definitely need someday. I was a fool to believe that. It was time.

Shout-out to the absolute bro in the liquor store parking lot very loudly jamming to Papa Roach's "Forever." I feel for you, my guy. Stay strong

Moving Mountains have announced their first album in 12 years, due out in just two weeks www.brooklynvegan.com/moving-mount...

I'd already made peace long ago that Moving Mountains were done forever, so now hearing new music from them has me feeling so many emotions. This band means so much to me, and I'm thankful for such a brilliant bright spot in otherwise dark days. "Ghosts" youtu.be/4cFfhg32SXc

I don’t miss Twitter I miss being young and wasting my youth on Twitter

There are way more pressing matters at hand, but if anybody has a hot tub and would be okay with me using it 12-16 hours a day, please let me know? I think 12 hrs in a hot tub, sipping an ice cold Red Bull while listening to The Midnight's "Crockett's Revenge" could fix me youtu.be/EGcbx4txRq8

A new bench boss on board.

Got invited out to play baseball today, which completely ruined my usual Saturday plans of haunting my house, alone, complaining that nobody ever wants to do anything. 10/10, good day.

The True Faith and Sculpture Club put out a badass little post-punk jam today called "Left Behind" and obviously now I need to grab that green flexi 7"! truefaithx.bandcamp.com/album/left-b...

Happy new brand single from The Midnight day, friends! ❤️‍🔥 "Digital Dreams" youtu.be/1Oz2GRt-I2g

There's zero chance that the person who coined the phrase "if you're good at something, never do it for free" made any money on it, right?

Its never cringe to enjoy the fun you had when you were younger. Go play video games, wear those funny socks, build a lego, play TCG, binge watch childrens cartoons (they're made by adults with heart!) the last thing you want is to think "I wish I did X more"!

What the critics of AI don't understand is that I'm dumber than a dog's dick and have zero talent or even any desire to get better at it but I also really want to be able to tell people that I'm an artist or writer so they'll respect me or have sex with me.

I really don't want to try dating again, but I don't know how else to find a total babe to listen to Third Eye Blind's self-titled record with me while we lay on the floor together and let the universe melt us into a primordial puddle or whatever

Sean would've been 28 today, and every year hits a little harder. I recently heard this song for the first time, and although it's about a different Sean there are similarities in the feelings of grief that wash over me. Miss and love you, buddy. Baseballchamp001 forever ❤️‍🔥 youtu.be/H0LJo2iunpo

Always soul-crushing when a friend has forgotten about an inside joke that bonded your fates to each other.

#SOS Anyone know of resources to acquire kitty litter for free? We're really struggling right now and cat supplies are the only thing i'm having trouble acquiring since food pantries don't often carry pet supplies. #HELP

Tour starts tomorrow night in Philly. I’m calling it a day with Worriers so this is your last chance. Sharing my posts would mean a lot since I really don’t want folks to miss these. Six shows on the east coast. West coast shows tbd. See you there. worriersmusic.com/tour

Remember when one of those right-wing chuds claimed Democrats were controlling the weather? Every accusation by them is a confession, and it's rained every fucking weekend for the last three months. I'm just saying. (this is not serious)

Starcadian forever! Rest in peace, legend 💔 youtu.be/3oIDRD9AzXo

Here’s a somewhat brutal tip that I hope I remember - if you’re old and worried about your days being numbered, behave in a way that will make people sad to see you go

Anybody wanna meet up at noon every day to hug and tell each other "In this moment, we're okay" and maybe like chug a bottle of water together or something?

I miss mental health

“This is what we wait all year for” as I inhale an eight ball of pollen

"still better than winter," I manage to gasp out between sneezing fits as spring allergies are in full swing

Alkaline Trio's "Burn" has been stuck in my head for over a week now. youtu.be/A4rUFpMU77w

The only thing I have in common with super rich ppl is the desire to shoot myself into space

I feel compelled to tell the folks in reception that their glass windows are very much *not* soundproof, and yet hearing their office gossip about people I don't know is even more compelling. Your secrets are safe with me, perhaps *I* am the soundproof window

You know when the doctor says "deep breath," but then keeps lifting up and moving the stethoscope mid-breath? Why is that the same vibe as somebody asking you to make them a mixtape, but then skipping every song during the intro? Betrayal!

Playing Bamboo Boogaloo from The Messenger with @xanderplute.bsky.social & The Karma Kronies was a weekend highlight. I love this OST so much. @roninopf.bsky.social @stevenhigbee.bsky.social @supitscarrie.bsky.social @roqdrummer.bsky.social @biggoron.bsky.social

Wanna hang out and listen to Chevelle's "This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In)" loud enough to vibrate our skulls, making soup of our brains and pulverizing our teeth?

"fake it till you make it" bro, I have to shotgun a Red Bull and two Chevelle songs just to get psyched up to put actual clothes on to leave the house, I'm faking everything and making a big fucking deal

Opening day at Fenway where Fugazi and Chappell sound equally awesome on the organ. GO SOX!!!

Pretty much all US news items right now

You think I want to be out here fighting fascism? Bro, I just want to stay in bed and re-watch Warehouse 13 and Eureka and cuddle and be a lazy dork, but half the country decided my fellow humans don't deserve human rights, so here we fucking are

Abolish April Fool’s day. Society has moved past the need for April Fool’s day
