SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS. At this point, I’m just asking the bear if it’s willing to be a mauler for hire.

Other music getting me though this week: Jack White’s new single G.O.D. And The Broken Ribs, Rosalìa’s Lux, and The Beaches.

If, like me, you have been unable this week after the rape academy exposè, it is a Sofia Isella kind of day.

This EP could not have been released at a time I needed it more.

Slightly related: it is still snowing and being social has been a struggle. Updates: it was a The Beaches kind of day. Petey and I drove to Newark to see Esha Tewari. I have tickets to see Sarah McLachlan.

So my hold JUST comes in and i open the book a there is a playlist and there are FOUR Joywave songs on it. And then i find out @brynneweaver.bsky.social is Canadian, where Joywave is illegal. I am intrigued.

It’s a Bad Bunny kind of day.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And so it begins

That was hands down the best halftime show ever. It was filled with so many references to Puerto Rican culture and history. The sugarcane fields, the casita, the streets of NYC, and the power lines. All of it resonated so much. Boricua por siempre.

+why art is everything❤️‍🔥

I miss media literacy.

That sound mixing was awful, though. We only got about every fifth word.

The political critique about the power crisis on the island! Benito!

If this halftime show doesn’t make Stephen miller wade into the sea

Kid Rock could only dream of having ever been as huge as Bad Bunny is.

I am assiduously avoiding the news. Which means I’m reading actual books. I’m currently reading a romance that comes highly recommended and… there is only so much suspension of disbelief I can muster these days. Not nearly enough for this book.

I do have a limit of lifting as well. My guess is he took one look at my connective tissue disorder and figured I already knew Crossfit would break me.

I was told two years ago by my cardiologist that I can do whatever I want but I am forbidden from shoveling.

It’s a @joywave.bsky.social kind of day!

I have been remiss in my music sharing, but as all of you got your 11-month reports already, what was your favorite album this year? (Doesn’t have to be a 2025 release)

This is really good work.

United you bargain, divided you beg. #DontCrossTheLine

It’s an Innocence Mission kind of day. Unsure if I want to be back in 1991 or I just want to go back to having clove cigarettes.

Also, @schumer.senate.gov? Retire. Move aside. You are an embarrassment to NYS and sold us all down the river for… your donors?

It’s been a Linda Ronstadt kind of day. Mainly because I’d like to pretend I’m 5.

Happy Friday! It’s a Yndling kind of day!

It’s an Indigo Girls kind of day (Strange Fire, still my favorite album, for the curious).

Happy Day Two of Cheeto Mussolini Meltdown for all who celebrate!

It’s an Arvo Pärt kind of day and the sky here is gray but the outlook is Blue!

It’s another Sade kind of day.
