This account smells like lavender, cello rosin, and brownies on their last minute in the oven.

The fuck is this "barrel leg jeans" bullshit? I cannot believe I made it through high school alive only to have to live through the return of Z. Cavariccis. There are straight leg, boot-cut, and skinny jeans. Anything else is wasting my time. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The idea that social media is some sort of Marketplace of Ideas to expose me to viewpoints other than my own is hogwash. I'm on SM to see pet pics, read funny posts from smart ppl, smart posts from funny ppl, & get book recommendations. I'm 50+. I've heard all the viewpoints. Most of them are dumb.

Willing to bet the Venn diagram of "leftist" folks who ran a trans guy off tw*tr for being lefty but working a shit office job at Lockheed Martin & the ones who were horny to vote for a former Blackwater mercenary w/a Nazi tattoo is just a circle.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

“I’m not gonna have somebody out here dressed like this,” yells the cop.

The hole in a guitar is traditionally used to store soft cheeses and dried meats which are fed to the drummer when he does a good job

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

This is my dance about how much transphobes suck:

LA: we will fight you. Chicago: we will fight you. PDX: we will make you endure week after week of of improv theater.

this but i used chicken sausage, i used leeks instead of the green onions, i didn't have enough gruyere so i did like half gruyere half mozarella, make sure you serve it with like six or seven very ripe figs mykitchenlittle.com/2024/01/27/s...

She has arrived! 4/4 cello on the left, new 7/8 on the right.

At last the truth can be told.

Ok, sorry you guys. My bad. Looks like my cello case is Antifa. You think if I turn it in the SS will leave my city? I’ve got farmer’s markets to go to.

OMG this is like 2 birds w/1 stone. if they could make this happen I promise to feel a teeny bit sad when every rapture-believing christifascist disappears. Will even kindly care for their pets.

Everything is bad, but books are good. Get a book. Read the book. Cherish the book. Finish the book. Tell your friends about the book, and leave a review of the book. Hold the book close. Listen to what it tells you. Do as it commands. Place it on the dread altar and let it guide your every choice.

When I meet my ultimate demise tripping over my dog & choking on a spoonful of Tillamook Malted Moo ice cream, I hope my loved ones will be comforted that I died the way I lived. May we all respect the integrity of those who loudly called for watering the tree of liberty & met their end doing so.

can also confirm, here’s an unpaywalled recipe and an unprompted suggestion: add about a cup of greek yogurt to the marinade

Going forward, all my half-muttered sarcasm, invective, or expressions of general malaise will be characterized as “incoherent pierogi noises”. It’s not cultural appropriation if my surname ends in -ski & I was born in Chicago. (Original thread is also top-notch public transit/midwest discourse)

Somewhat related, I'm in the market for a new cello & my cello teacher suggested I look for a 7/8. I told her I have been playing this 4/4 for over 30 years. Tested out some 7/8 models & all of a sudden intonation & shifting issues I've had for decades just... disappeared. Kind of annoying.

All hail the Cascadian Alliance.

Apple is sneaking AI into everything. Turn off enhanced visual search on your photos:

Your regular reminder, if you are a person for whom the TSA body scanners do not work well -- because of gender, sex, size, disability, any reason at all -- there IS a way to avoid getting patted down at the gate, but you MUST say the correct words. Do not use the words "opt out" for any reason.

Since I have often been posting about my meal planning adventures, I figured I would share one of my recipes for this week! These are really easy to prep, they freeze well, and they taste great! (if you like dill lol) mealplanaddict.com/crispy-air-f...

Over many years of pursuing music I have become convinced there is no such thing as Talent. There's only learning & hard work. The problem is that much of what we call "natural talent" is just learned when you're so young you don't realize you're learning. I learned ear training & to sing (1/3)

Hey @bsky.app, I’m cis & it’s my strongly held spiritual belief that JK Rowling sucks & deserve to step barefoot on a slug every day for the rest of her life.

To me, this is Digital Humanities

wanted to recommend a book i’m enjoying. if you’re into cosy fantasy w witches, this is for you. reread it several times. (it’s what i do w comfort reads.) A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna the humor is Sir Terry P level. love the found fam. great character building. 1/2

Republican men don’t think women are people. We’re a cross between a pet & a servant they can fuck. Republican women think they Aren’t Like Other Girls & that they’re the exception. The loudest of the anti-traffic Qanons are just pissed they’re not the ones raping children,

Being afraid of cities is pathetic beta behavior and these people should be shunned and ridiculed as such. How do we let these people who have to be armed to the teeth to go to 7-11 to define masculinity? Cities are the soul of America and the pinnacle of humans achievement

As long as there’s cheese, there’s hope

Fun fact: every building in Milwaukee is a former brewery. Except the breweries, which are former churches

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

I honestly can’t believe there are still any AI skeptics out there. This tech is obviously revolutionary
