Amidst red stage lights, a man with glasses, a beard, and dark hair wearing a black button up shirt with golden floral accents plays a guitar. In the background are shelves of cds, vhs tapes, and books. There is a small table covered with a cloth to his left.

Playing in a cramped little record store was a lot of fun, and so was pulling out a kit-less percussion set for the first time was, too. @duchess-orlock.bsky.social nailed it, obviously. Check out the Wyrd Byrd in Ypsilanti; they’ve got a lot of unexpectedly cool stuff for sale.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

Izak Folk rock for artsy, sensitive types.

It’s #transdayofvisibility! We’re a queer-trans acoustic rock band from #Detroit, and it would mean so much if you threw a couple bucks our way so we could afford to keep making #music. With that said, if you are also a #transmusician, we’d love if you’d drop your own links as well, if you please!

Anybody who requires the use of generative A.I. in order to make fun of Donald Trump—THE EASIEST PERSON ON THE FUCKING EARTH TO MAKE FUN OF—is a loser. That’s all there is to it.

A point of view picture taken from the perspective of a someone sitting at a drum kit. The drums are on stage in a large stone church with a very tall ceiling. A ukulele player and a guitar player are setting up with the help of a live sound engineer. The colorful stained glass windows along the wall are lit up by daylight.

I actually found myself enjoying A Feast For Crows more than I did A Dance With Dragons. Both great books though! I too would recommend anyone read them all even if the series is never finished.
