Labor rights are the way to the future we want. Respect workers.

I love @trimet.org but also they could have consulted maybe a single commuter cyclist before deciding on the FX2 racks that don't work with lights, fenders, or front racks. I already stripped this bike down to work with normal bus racks and yet...

Granite City (This Fatally Flawed Utopia), by Long French Name track by Long French Name

Hello fellow travelers in this dystopic now! I released a new song. I'm planning on dropping a little dream pop synthy EP in the coming months, and this is the first glimpse at it. Probably the most fun track, because, uh (gestures to everything).

Yea, I'm ready to retire to the geriatric penguin island. Does anyone have a realistic penguin costume I can borrow?

Diane, 11:30 AM, February 24th. Entering the town of Twin Peaks.

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Rewatching Archer while I fend off some new plague, and I am so terribly sad that Jessica Walter did not live long enough to be cast on White Lotus.

I assume this is what I will look like emerging from this winter.

Okay...

Somebody awkwardly shoving a TV remote control into the orifice of a foam pool noodle with the caption "why did I only find out about this at 34?"

Occasionally revisit Instagram to remind myself how fucking stupid it is.

Become ungovernable.

The New AI has scared the Old AI and now the AI men are losing money. The money men are panicking down on Trader's Boulevard.

Meanwhile, I peruse scans of 18th-century textbooks because I want to learn craft my own boots.

Emails are useless if your feet are wet. Sing your own songs, cowards.

Screencap of Twin Peaks, agent Cooper drinking coffee during breakfast, telling Audrey Horne : "Well, Audrey, to be perfectly honest, I'm tired and a little on edge."

ain't that a mood

Ironically, the circlejerk meme threads are all that brings me joy now. It's the MSNBC normies doing basic Trump dunks that have cluttered this place with the most meh content.

Now that a bunch more people are on Bluesky, it is kind of mid. Maybe social media is over. Maybe there is no new version of these platforms that is good.

Stephen doesn't seem to be on here, but there is an account specifically telling you to read this book. @thedeluge.bsky.social

Book cover. Blue sky background with some clouds and the sun, theres a rip/tear in the sky by the sun. The Deluge, Stephen Markley, National bestselling author of "Ohio"

Y'all gotta read The Deluge by Stephen Markley. The #lafires are in here, a climate novel that is part nerdy wonk drama and part action movie, taking us through the potential next twenty years of our climate change reality. We need to do more now, or Markley will end up right in the worst way.

little fluffy white dog in a yellow jacket sits on the hardwood floor of a pub of sorts. nobody is around him. he’s staring at a roaring fire, and the light reflects off his face and ears.

Here we have just a little guy, toasty and content as he reflects on his day. 13/10 would try my best not to disturb him

They eat a cold carb
They eat a hot carb
They eat a cheesy carb
They eat a chocolate carb

They eat a carb that remind them of the good times

CD Baby artist dashboard with a current balance of $2.14, the payout from streaming compensation. Pay Point is $25.

Spotify wrapped! Hundreds of streams and finally it feels like I've made it as an artist. Let's see how much money I got...oh.

Bluesky has made it. I can once again explain very online things to my not very online wife and have her stare at me, bewildered. We’re back baby!!!!

Sir you can't bring outside food in here.

It's okay, this is my emotional support croissant.
