Masterful Morgue Anne Spills Rendezvous Tea, Urges Support for Displaced Performers — The Evergreen Echo Over the past decade, Morgue Anne has forged a creative home at The Rendezvous, a historic venue in the heart of Belltown, where, until a few weeks ago, you could see everything from live music, to co...

Curious about where to see Burlesque in Seattle and wtf is going in with the Rendezvous? @themorgueanne.bsky.social spills the tea in my latest article @echothearts.bsky.social : theevergreenecho.org/echo/morguea...

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

A film still from the film 'Harold & Maude'. A background of green grass, with two figures in the foreground: A brown-haired, pale skinned, smiling young man in a light blue turtleneck and gray jacket, turned slightly away from the camera, toward his companion, an older woman with might shin, wearing a camel-colored sweater, with brown hair in braids cruising the top of her head

Harold & Maude is hands-down my favorite film of all time. I've literally watched it hundreds of times, and it has dragged me out of multiple emotional spirals. A recent rewatch has reiterated how much the current moment calls for a whole lot of Maude.

Tonight at Elliot Bay! Come say hello

I prefer the term "Clanker Wanker" for people who are dedicated to outsourcing their thinking.

Same! 🙌

Federal Cuts to Public Media May Bring Devastating Consequences — The Evergreen Echo The true value in community media is in the way it forges local connection and identity, providing spaces for diverse voices—something that is often lost in conglomerate media, who tend to cite the sa...

I would say there are MULTIPLE billionaires pulling the strings—we saw a few of them at the inauguration, then watched DOGE rip apart our federal infrastructure, and steal our personal data+Musk got more $$ contracts. Ellison is just one billionaire that this charlatan, con-man govt bows to.

Honestly this is the best approach to all fascists and idjuts--laugh in their faces (not behind their backs. Well not ONLY behind their backs).

I think that's the bots, most of us actual gamers on the Steam page are fully upset that there is no way to screen for AI slop on Steam.

Multiple blue bubble text messages that read: 1. Part of me wants to make a cigarette muppet 🤣 2. Its name would be Ciggy Cheroot 3. And it would be French 4. And every time it talked, smoke would come out of its mouth 🌬️

The things my brain chooses to develop instead of what I need it to:

Character from Immortal Life on top of the Renovation Division in the Guiyan Sect

View from glass elevator Blue Prince

Character from Tales of Seikyu on a sunny, grassy hillside, in front of a lighthouse and mountains in the distance

My dear friend, I love your writing in general, and this piece os incredibly simple in the way it presents this abstract idea. I appreciate how it allows people to connect to that through emotion. As always, you nailed it. 💖
