LRT: Of the signs I brought to the last No Kings march, this was the one I overheard people admiring. 😊

I can't tell if one of my posts has made it to Discover or the high-for-me number of reposts/likes are as a result of Scarleteen reposting it, but I'm currently braced for impact. 😅 (but also: let them come! If they wanna fight about trans rights I'm ready.)

You wanna a be a hero to some musical kids? Miss Rhi and her pals have been practicing their rock styles for years and this is a big opportunity for them to play TWO festivals! I'll match new donations up to $100. Reply so I know you did (and it helps raise the signal). gofund.me/3f51862c0

My band Via Bella released a song today called "Let's Not Fight (About Star Trek)," about how people post "definitive lists" as if there is objective criteria to consult when creating listicles. #StarTrek #NerdRock #Filk

All of this. For always.

I got to jam on violin tonight with three of my nieces--who are all in professional-level violin conservatory college programs--and they were all excited to play with ME. They are worlds better musicians than I have ever been, but we had a really fun evening trading tunes and just messing around.

Also, we got dinner from a dedicated-GF Mexican restaurant and I got churros! For the first time in probably a decade! (Contento Café, in Salt Lake City). The rice pudding ice cream that came with it wasn't great, it tasted weirdly of melons. But the tacos and rice were very good also.

I got to see two of my oldest friends today. We're all a bit older and more worn than we were in high school, but the friendship is as strong as ever.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

I'm on a road trip and it's disrespectfully bright out here--but that is affording me the opportunity to be bewitched once again by the aurora opal ring I got from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social - I got it weeks ago and still can't stop staring at it. Good thing I'm not the one driving.

I don’t think Pedro Pascal will have anything kind to say about this image.

Fuck yeah. Best news I've heard out of the US in a long time. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is an interesting trend. In designing the world of Pragmata, Capcom said the artists had a ball messing with what AI slop could look like. They created all the art and assets themselves, satirizing and exploring how unnerving a GenAI future could look.

Meanwhile, a champ rises again.

I have been converted to the Cult of the Ninja Creami. I'm having ice cream for breakfast, and no-one can stop me.

April reads are a bit thin because I started a bunch of stuff but haven't yet finished them, and also The Faith of Beasts was a chonker. #storygraph

Just in time for Bandcamp Friday - and also for May the Fourth - The Faithful Sidekicks are proud to present our new digital EP - Both Kinds. Because we play both kinds of nerdy songs - Star Wars and Star Trek. :) thefaithfulsidekicks.bandcamp.com/album/both-k...

Platner with his fucking totenkopf tattoo is the thin end of the wedge for the Democratic Party. If they can force him in, then that's the new low bar for their candidates. "Ah, but you voted for a guy with a Nazi tattoo last time."

The Party keeps serving up the same tepid do-nothings in more and more cracked bowls. That's why it's crucial to vote in crazies like Mamdani at ground level (such as the Mayor of NYC is), to force actual reform in. That's OUR thin end of the wedge. And I need some of these assholes to get wedged.

If you are a true young adult, you are old enough to read the books you are interested in reading.

Hi friends. There's a new episode of It's Storytime waiting for you wherever you get your podcasts. This week's story is To Carry You Inside You, by Tia Tashiro. It's one of those wonderful speculative fiction stories that isn't necessarily about me, but is REALLY about me, you know?

Gonna see if I can get back into the habit of starting my work day like this. wyrdingstudios.com/products/mor...

Fun tea fact: trans people are valuable and beautiful! 🏳️‍⚧️🍵 Free to be Me is a cheerful, fruit-forward white tea sold in support of Transgender Education Network of Texas. Every ounce of tea sold = $3 to support economic, educational and legal resources for gender diverse people in Texas.

The only culture some people got is C. diff.

My colleague Dr. Mike Kanost is retiring and for his literal swan song, he shared and performed his biochemstry filk song version of the Beatles' "Let It Be." Part of the chorus is shown.

I just asked one of my closest friends to just please agree with me that we can throw this week into a volcano. So if you’d like to join us, please throw your week into this volcano. Just a hearty “AWAY!” will do it.

My sweet friend @angylesbian.bsky.social has just launched the Kickstarter for her next album (and I get to be a small part of helping her bring her vision to life, and I'm immensely grateful for her trust!) Highly recommended!! #folk #filk #laurenoxford #sapphicmusic #mentalhealth #mamatrauma

This is a dance off. If you see this, repost a dance or you're eliminated.

Going to make some listings for last night's grabs then do lazy QueerVC from bed around 10EST.
