I want to freeze time, listen to Out To Lunch, then shower, and hop into bed at 7:30pm 😭

You ever need like, three weeks off but can’t leave your nanny family hanging for three weeks?

…that’s where I’m at right now.

“Honestly? I don’t think tuning counts as a tenant of white supremacy.” - Brassless Chaps night out 😂

My funniest college memory was having a professor show up to class drunk after a ~luncheon~ saying something like: “They’re calling themselves the tea baggers! Do you guys know what tea bagging is?”

We were all in our early 20s, so we knew.

No one kept a straight face the rest of class 😂

I had a roommate I had to ask to do this and I felt like I was going to lose it because we were both in our thirties!!!

This is not niche at all, but one should be REQUIRED to wash hands after using the bathroom.

The amount of things we all touch as a community should be motivation enough, and yet…

I wasn’t exaggerating it rules so hard

Lauren and her sister are two of my favorite people in the whole world ❤️

He strikes me as Wallace Shawn, but mean.

UBB is full of great folks. A few of them play with us in Brassless Chaps and they’re a standup bunch.

I'll leave you from Portland with one last video of the @unpresidentedbrass.bsky.social, the unofficial house band of #NoKings

I’m mad at how well this works.

"None of the founders would've supported trans" First of all Benjamin Franklin would've been a chaser so jot that down.

3 would send me in to a panic!

1. Trying to get somewhere with a hard time limit and needing to cross 11th and Division.

2. My apartment from 2009-2010 with multiple palmetto bugs waiting to make their appearance at any moment.

3. A record store where they only recommend Buble and Kenny G when I ask for good jazz albums.

After Trump’s National Guard announcement, Portland saw uptick in helicopter noise complaints Portland residents report sleepless nights, headaches, anxious pets and behavioral issues in children associated with increased government aircraft near the ICE building.

Records obtained by OPB show that in the week following Trump's Nat'l Guard deployment news, complaints about helicopters over South Portland skyrocketed.

“I am a nurse and need sleep. This is ridiculous.”

“I have been deployed to Afghanistan, and this is worse.”

How ’bout a trans Zardoz?

YES DUH THIS IS A GREAT IDEA HOLY SHIT

P sure they’re talking about Paul Thomas Anderson.

This was my wonder as well. (All of the folks being rerouted to Tacoma.)

When someone shows you a butt that beautiful of their own volition, the only two words you should say are thank you.

Members of the Unpresidented Brass Band were bull rushed & brutalized in the middle of playing "Ghostbusters." One was sent to the hospital and another tackled, arrested, and taken across state lines where she is still being detained.

A key reason why the world is burning

I’m exhausted from having to stay grateful that things aren’t worse.

Me: *gas* Excuse me.

My 2y: Bless you!

Dana Carvey at a piano singing Choppin’ Broccoli on SNL.

Today’s glimmer: my 2y nanny charge LOVES Rossini’s cat duet. She calls it the meow meow song.

Today we played it instead of singing a lullaby for nap, and she was moving her finger to the beat. On tempo and everything!

Then she started singing along with the parts.

It was a cute moment ❤️

Normally people who get compared to iconic artists of the past aren't mentioned in the same breath as them when they die. Imagine working with the very clearly, colossally famous and talented influences D'Angelo did (Prince, Sly Stone!) and then very securely standing alongside them. It's just wild!
