they finally did a vinyl pressing sometime recently and I wanted it but the shipping on top of the cost of the album was more than I could do

it's literally perfect driving through the mountains music

their side project Arcane's album Known/Learned is one of my favorites

Eric wore a shirt that read "Natural Selection" the day of the shooting, he wrote a research paper on the Nazis about "the euthanasia program that led to the killing of approximately 100,000 lives that were 'not worth living.""

I feel so honored you went with my name suggestion!

I usually leave mine on for 7-10 days and while it's harder to peel it at that point, it basically ends up unveiling a completely healed tattoo

masterpiece #2

i managed to snag one of the copies from the second annual RSD a million years ago that's a 2x12" 45rpm

i keep mentioning that because it REALLY increases the fidelity & the digital mix of this album SUCKS

some amazing guest spots on this, too!

#vinyl

never stops being terrifying, especially for those of us who experienced it younger! one of the most harrowing theater experiences i've ever had

hope it was ok for me to announce that haha

and here we come to the band's first masterpiece, a concept album based on moby dick

i'm a sucker for concept albums, especially ones inspired by books/movies/shows/games (i've made many of these myself) and the music, lyrics, and vocals are all SO GOOD

mastodon • remission

i actually used to have an older, 2x12" 45rpm of this album, but when the box set came out, i couldn't resist, because look how gorgeous it is!

this album fucks...that's what people say, right?

stayed in bed way later than i wanted, but i did get up, take my meds, and start working on editing (which i really need to get done today) so i'm proud of myself

next up on my discography run is mastodon, a band that started strong and kept evolving in a way that i have thoroughly enjoyed at all stages

i've tried to get the best quality pressings of their stuff (2x12" 45rpm when possible)

excited for this runthrough

i'm editing dog soldiers right now (which will also be the first episode posted to youtube!) and having a blast, as usual, listening to @princeis.me & @fredericknuti.bsky.social

also! i do the video editing now, not just audio, and if you sign up for Patreon you get everything 2 days early!!!

isis • live vii

sadly, the only one of the live series that i own, and therefore, the end of my journey through isis's discography

this has only further solidified my love for this band, and my continued obsession with the majority of aaron turner's projects

You are trying to describe reverse bigotry, which does not exist. People of marginalized identity only dating people of same or similar identities because it is the only way they feel confident their partner will be aware of the unique struggles (and celebrations!) they have isn't the same at all

as a service sub this sounds ideal

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it

we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

I DID NOT HIT HER! I DID NOT!

autechre is the perfect soundtrack for when you're Downloadin Some Files

I cook everything that way!

Hey so I know everything is dogshit right now but if you want a free book you can have mine starting tomorrow through the fifth, on account of the sick new cover courtesy of @svartvinterart.bsky.social

this scene genuinely made me so happy

A punk song about west coast potatoes: California Tuber Alles

as I'm rewatching all of Twin Peaks: The Return in the theater over the next few weeks (parts 5&6 today) I feel like people's complaints about its lack of humor/whimsy, about the Dougie stuff, etc. are kind of unfounded

it gets heavier later, but it's great throughout ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hahaha he responded to me and all but called me a bitch

a discogs message from a user about something I was selling: "Hello, I have a question about the following item you have for sale on Discogs: I asked you a few days ago if you would ship this item to Canada. No response. Not a very good way to do business. I found it elsewhere. Maybe in the future you might pay more attention to potential customers."

my response to the potential buyer: "I'm a person, not a business. I was in the process of getting a shipping quote so I could let you know how much shipping would be before I messaged you back. I'm a trans woman and the government is literally in the process of making my existence illegal and trying to kill a bunch of people so I'm sorry that my priority this week wasn't getting back to a stranger on the internet. Maybe try having a bit more patience and compassion as the world is burning down instead of sending snarky messages to people."

people are such dicks on the internet and I do not understand

this person messaged me a couple days ago to ask if I'd ship something to Canada if they bought it, and I didn't respond immediately because I was trying to figure out how much it would be to ship

then they sent this, & I replied

i may or may not have something here

How Kansas Republicans weaponized the law to target 300 trans driver's license holders SB 244 was put into effect virtually overnight, causing chaos, panic and fear in the trans community.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:
