Oh I also love this! I started letting a lil backlog accumulate so I can have longer chunks of narrative
I made the switch to minimalist/barefoot shoes a few months ago for lifting & took them on tour & I’ve felt a really positive difference in my lower chain!
YES YES YES HOORAY HAVE AN AMAZING TIME!!!!
I just learned from Stu (who’s reading GODDESS OF THE MARKET) that Ayn Rand voted for him in ‘32 & I’m still lowkey reeling
This is probably my fastest time ever tbf! & yesterday the bonus Easy from the newsletter absolutely kicked my ass

The pleasures & perils of nostalgia & reference, the importance of identifying real play vs gamified labor, & whether the internet used to be fun: @matthewleggatt.bsky.social of @utopiaanddystopia.bsky.social joins to discuss Ernest Cline’s READY PLAYER ONE!
“Wreath”, 11x14 inch acrylic on cradled panel. Trying to express the joys and sorrows of this spring and others. . #womensart, #figurativeart, #contemporaryart, #blueskyart
I’d work out 5 days a week & learn rock-climbing & silks & take dance & blacksmithing & pottery classes & see so many birds & read so many books
Aahh that’s my favourite track on the album, deeply deeply hear that! I really hope the stars align for you!
I can say, having been to the one in Montreal (only my 2nd time seeing her, last in 2015) that it was truly magical & cathartic & magnificent, & her voice is indescribably precise & soaring, & I'm so glad I was able to make it, but also this specific album has marrow-deep significance to me
Many sympathies! genuinely hard to imagine what it’s like to have tickets & be told a few days later your concert is in a whole other city!!
This goes so fucking hard youtu.be/EdFlJFXPNZU
truly tho you should
Found this one properly hard & was devastated by a very late mistake & am left shaking my fist at Oscar

this is correct
I’ve never been aware of this happening before & so far it has happened TWICE that sports have delayed or displaced these concerts??
Screenshot of an instagram story from Florence and the Machine’s account reads as follows: DEAR PHILADELPHIA TICKET HOLDERS: DUE TO NHL PLAY OFFS, THE FLORENCE + THE MACHINE SHOW SCHEDULED FOR SATURDAY, APRIL 25 AT XFINITY MOBILE ARENA WILL BE NOW BE RELOCATED TO JIM WHELAN BOARDWALK HALL ARENA IN ATLANTIC CITY, NJ. NO ACTION IS REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A REFUND FOR YOUR ORIGINAL TICKETS. REFUNDS WILL BE PROCESSED TO THE ORIGINAL METHOD OF PAYMENT. TICKET HOLDERS WILL BE NOTIFIED WITH PURCHASE INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE NEW SHOW.
I imagine there has to be at least some overlap between people who are NHL fans & people who are Florence + the Machine fans & I just want to know how they’re doing rn
I wanna talk very briefly about jail support, what it is, and how important it is.
Jail support isn’t really for folks who want to put in an hour a month and call it a day. It requires more commitment than some other volunteer options. But it’s both very important and very meaningful work.
I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”
I was proceeding carefully & then my husband finished in 6 minutes & it flustered me so much I got stuck BUT kept it green, taking the win
