No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

A drawing of a green moth reading a zine, highlighting the 518 Zine Fest on March 28 from 12-4PM in Albany, NY. The moth's wings have all of the tablers listed, and the Albany skyline can be seen in the background.
A spread from Erin's zine on heteronormativity and Paula Cole's Where Have All The Cowboys Gone showing a woman on a horse going off a cliff with men chasing her. Erin is holding the zine in her room, you can see her feet and some other zines on the floor.
518 Zine Fest tomorrow! I turned my @marchxness.bsky.social essay into a zine and I'll have some copies there ❤️🔥

Last night I shot a music video on the blacked-out beach for my synth'd out "Glycerine" cover. Big thanks to Dave Rosman for the violin, big thanks to YOU for voting Bush on to the Final Four of @marchxness.bsky.social!

We are a breath away from a full on @marchxness.bsky.social band forming. We'll go on tour with a concert of readings and covers
YESSSSSSSS! I love this so much!
👏👏👏👏👏
Good game! And same to you, "you know exactly what you can do with sadness" is a line and sentiment throughout the whole piece that I've been chewing on since I first read it!
ohhhhhhhhh I so want to see that! Thanks for reading! I'm so excited to cheer you on in the elite 8!
Sending our condolences to and appreciation of @jygravley.bsky.social and @emryal91.bsky.social for their excellent essays and deep March Sadness runs. We salute you and your work!
What whirlwind! This has been so fun and I'm delighted to have made it to the sweet sixteen. Kind of can't believe this is what has got me playing the uke again! Congratulations to @thejasonthayer.bsky.social I'm so excited to cheer for you in the next round!
Very jealous you got to see them! 💖💖💖
This Blink/Bush matchup is the heartbreaker of my Xennial dreams. Sixteen Stone was one of my favorite albums as a thirteen-year-old, but Adam’s Song was my saddest 90s pop punk anthem, and when I saw Blink for the first time a couple years ago man did I weep. Blink forever!
MARCH SADNESS 90S EDITION SWEET 16 DAY 4 SCORES, 120’ to go:
Glycerine 131, Adam’s Song 91

ADAMS SONG AND SAPPY HIVE WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!!!!
In high school I crowd surfed at a Blink 182 concert (very not my nature, but, exhilarating!). My gateway to Blink was MxPx, who I also loved dearly.
There's still time to help Blink make it to the next round!

Feels very meta to tear up a bit at this! If I go out this round (and it sure is looking like it) how lovely to get to cheer for @thejasonthayer.bsky.social and Bush!
lololololol Marchxness gets really psychologically complex tbh
lolololol I was thinking about this when I was doing the uke cover too! I tried to do a sad version but I really couldn't pull it off and I was having so much fun! I decided Blink wasn't really the type to face death and sadness without laughing at it a little bit
I am jonesing for a sad 90's songs flute solo!
Sounds like a natural companion to March Sadness 90's edition tournament of tears @marchxness.bsky.social
I've been given to understand this is a @marchxness.bsky.social Sweet 16 tradition? As a millennial representing a millennial song, what I lack in musical skill I more than make up for in ukulele! Would love it if you read my Blink-182 essay and voted! marchxness.com#/sweet16-bus...
Let's get today's SWEET 16 games up: (8) Blink-182 vs (5) Bush / (8) Nirvana vs (13) Ani DiFranco! Read, listen, vote by 9am 3/21 at marchxness.com
