Very bingeable. And I fukkin loved Mendelsohn as the protagonist.

But, whatever it is, it starts today with Jem and this little diary entry.

Anyway, the point is getting back to finding joy and holding onto it. Building, growing, reading, listening, loving, camaraderie-ing, writing, acting... looking at it it's less a to do list and more a to be list, I guess.

Or bury me alive in the cold, wet earth until flowers sprout from my eyes and a fox makes a den in my belly.

Or whatever.

So, I'm going to attempt to find some joy in the daily again. Maybe communicate more. It'll be a challenge because I don't feel like doing much at all. Like, shove me into a sensory deprivation chamber and let my synesthesia take over. Leave me for years.

And while it was nice to get away, it's been hard to sink back into the daily of things I enjoy. I remember my Aunt telling me that she just couldn't read anymore after her wife passed and I didn't understand it then, but I kinda do now.

We took another trip to Indiana where I got to take the kids to some of the places I hung out as a kid visiting family while visiting family (and running another memorial service for my Aunt). Also took an impromptu day trip to Rehoboth Beach with the kids to get the last little bit of Summer in.

We had a week's vacation at the beach with family that was nice, but it came at the heels of my Aunt's passing and a memorial service I ran for her and some jackass totaling my kid's car at a Nelly concert (he's fine; wasn't even in it, thankfully, but we're still dealing with the fallout from it).

Been kinda out of it since early July when my Aunt passed and trying to get back into the daily things I enjoy. Some of it has been because everything is busy and hellish (especially with school starting back up), but that's also not entirely true and mostly a convenient excuse.

Jem and the Holograms – Jem and the Holograms!

The whole neighborhood was obsessed when I was a kid, myself included. I probably still have the cassettes stashed away somewhere that came with the dolls (that mysteriously disappeared when we moved in '88).

Folks I know will be there tomorrow. Assuming work doesn’t eat me alive I plan to be there.

Disservice to Our Service Members This is not a poem about a trans woman. This is poem about career member of our military and the system that failed her.

@repsuhas.bsky.social who is staffing with our career service men and women? It certainly isn't DoD and DHS at this point. They've made it clear they support a dictator, not our troops.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

This has seen more play than I expected it would when I first picked it up. It's just a lovely little stroll through the LotR soundtrack.

Very excited for my copy to arrive!

I could listen to this album on repeat... and have been. This hasn't left the turntable since yesterday and it's on its second spin today.

Uhm, if you didn't dress up for the LOTR movies, did you even really watch them?

After some hell, we pulled ourselves together & went out with friends to the #MurderByDeath concert at #TheBlackCat in #DC & had a good time. #LauraJaneGrace opened the show & it was great to have all that #punk energy in the space.

4/ A new tax break for coal companies! So the tax incentives for wind and solar are GONE, and the coal industry is getting NEW tax incentives.

It's official policy now to to not just deny global warming exists - but to actively make it WORSE.

We now have a concentration camp in Florida.

Stop pretending any of this is normal.

If you claim to be a good person and you're not outwardly opposing this regime, you're not a good person.

Be human.

The climax: A showdown with the AI ruler of the ruins! We defeated it and then released the vampire god trapped in a glass coffin to wherever the spirits of the ancient dead go when they finally rest, creating a safe passage for our village.

Traveling into the heart of the ruins we found a massive amount of heat in its innerworkings. Ancient automata were still running processes to keep the various functions of this place moving, much like this album kept us moving forward.

Some symphonic prog rock played as our crew discovered another group of friendly adventurers holed up in the ruins! With their scouting reports we're fairly sure we can get everyone out of there.

Another share from @psychicmayhem.bsky.social and another great concept album. A western themed splattercrawl soundtrack with walesong backing tracks was a perfect addition to our vampires' trek to forgotten ruins.
