I encourage anyone to read, at a minimum, The Daily Stoic: 366 Meditations by Ryan Holiday. This book - combined with other lessons - helped pull me out of a dark time and to again appreciate the wonder that is every day life and personal responsibility.

It's now online! The "4/20" edition of Three Tune Tuesday. There were high jinks and at least one good giggle fest.
How did the people of yesteryear celebrate 4/20? They didn't, but we shoe-horned it in anyway!

Really enjoyed this interview; @blindskeleton.bsky.social and I were completely spellbound as we listened to Ware’s “Sixteen Summers.”
Link to the interview below, do yourself a favor and have a listen. ❤️
@yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I will be recording our next Three Tune Tuesday episode tonight.
It's also 4/20.
... just sayin'.
That's very true! It's derogatory and implies that the speaker feels they're more important/superior to the person listening.
This sounds like a very interesting doggie
I so much want to hug and play with that poochy.
This does mean that spring is in the air!
Of course he'll be there! He's worth the price of admission!
Our youngest turned 1 today! Hard to believe she was just a little nugget when we took her in, half-dead and starving at barely 12 oz… and now look at her, an 9.5-lb bagload of sass. Sweet Faith.

Won my first #curling league A-bracket championship last night! Whoo! A very awesome feeling, for sure.
Shout out to @yuliasilvae.bsky.social for winning her bracket as well!

Absolutely amazing.

Wax. Wax Cylinders. Wax cylinders playing music. Yes, it was a thing! @yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I discuss them in this week's Three Tune Tuesday.

Can. Confirm.
I'm putting the final touches on my notes for this week's Three Tune Tuesday. It's going to be a doozy this week. Three Tune Doozy? Not quite, but you'll need to listen to find out why!

Palate-cleansing, nonpolitical post:
Last night, @blindskeleton.bsky.social and I got elevated and watched an eye-wateringly terrible film called “Nude on the Moon.”
It was 82 minutes of sheer garbage, and it was GLORIOUS.
We cackled.
She has grown from Random Shed Kitten to Little Hellraiser!

I thought the *exact same thing* this morning.
This might be one of the best flowcharts ever.
It's a strange world we live in when Tucker Carlson shares something like this about a Republican. In any other case I'd just dismiss him as a conspiracy nut (and usually still do). But... damn.
How did we even get here as a nation?
Not that I disagree with you, but do you have a cite/site to look at?
I was honestly expecting a jump scare. This was definitely not that!
@blindskeleton.bsky.social and I see your #xpnvinylday and raise you, @wxpnfm.bsky.social.
Sure, vinyl’s obviously cool… and we hear the occasional #78rpm #shellac, pre-1925 tracks on-air (and we fangirl/fanboy every time!)… but when’s the last time you played wax??
Je te lance le defí ! 😘
Enjoying #xpn's #vinyl day? Looking for something similar, but different? Check out Blind Skeleton's Three Tune Tuesday, where @yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I play three #78rpm #shellac records every week!

Next week we're going even older when we play three antique wax cylinders!
I do love me some good #vinyl. I'm known to buy a new record just to make myself feel better. Looking forward to a good day of Viny Day from @wxpnfm.bsky.social !
You know, that's true, and I'll admit I hadn't thought of that. I did notice that the programming for the 3:30 draw yesterday was different, so maybe they're making adjustments as they go.
I want it to succeed. I just hope it isn't a gimmick.
In our commitment to normalcy in this age where normal is questionable, @yuliasilvae.bsky.social and I have completed this week's Three Tune Tuesday episode: "Easter and Passover." We talk. We laugh. We play music.
We're unscripted. Very.

Unimpressed is a good word. I will watch one or two more, but my initial reaction right now is that it feels amateurish and gimmicky.
