Driving Past Greatness | My Late Discovery of Motown’s Front Door I recently wrote an internal newsletter for FINN Partners, and since it was the first full week of February, I included a Black History…

I just published Driving Past Greatness | My Late Discovery of Motown’s Front Door medium.com/p/driving-pa...

I fixed it. Cleaned up the list to just ska bands, podcasts, and record companies instead of having every profile I could find with ska in the description. Way more ska-specific content now. Let me know if there are other bands or ska entities I should add to it.

I made what was supposed to be a ska-themed feed, and it's somehow full of the wrong accounts and irrelevant content. Running a feed on Bluesky is no joke. #ska #bskyfeeds

Love this

Update: I've since acquired 2 more Brownies.

Now I'm looking for a band who can find the budget to shoot a music video on 8mm film.

I started a ska list. I'm trying to figure out how to make it a feed, haven't done that before. But, hey, let me know who else should be added to this:

Alabama has mail in voting.

I appreciate Quinn Zeagler's work on the facilities committee and believe she gives a shit about Ferndale. But if this is a race between Mikulski and Zeagler, Mikulski gets my vote every time.

I don't know much about Eddie Sabatini yet, and will withhold my opinion there until I know more.

Terrible take. Laura Mikulski has a long history of finding nuance in every issue, doing deep dive research, and making a pragmatic choice that's best for citizens.

I returned to my computer in a state of peace, ready to do the next right thing. And then I found the file accidentally buried in a subfolder. All is not lost after all. It never was.

I have no idea why the file didn't turn up in the initial search.

7/7

The universe is never wrong, even when it's uncomfortable. 6/7

In that moment, I accepted it all. Nothing is forever. Sometimes it's our fault when it ends prematurely. I will have to take it on the nose when I go tell one of my musical heroes whom I'm working on another video for that I lost it all. 5/7

I took this realization to the kitchen with me, where I make my pour over coffee. I use this activity I use as a daily moment of zen, staying present and aware as the boiling water penetrates the beans, the froth never bubbling up in the same way twice, but always aesthetically pleasing. 4/7

This morning I went to reopen the project and it was gone. Like, couldn't-find-it-with-a-tailored-search-only-going-through-exactly-those-project-file-types gone. Gone gone. I must've deleted the wrong folder in my purge. 3/7

So I cleaned up my hard drives over the weekend, deleting and reorganizing a bunch of files on both an external project drive and my internal drive. 2/7

I was having playback issues in my editing and effects software. I admittedly was really undisciplined about file structure with this current project, a project I have been working on for months and have put countless hours into, and knew I hadn't optimally set it up. 1/7

Pretty good advice. 3/3

I don't feel like typing out each card's meaning but my overall reading of this hand is that I need to trust my creative vision, stop using new projects as procrastination agents for the project I really believe in, and that it will require grit to pull that off. 2/3

#tarot #witchsky

A tarot hand laid out with a six of wands reversed in the first position, page of cups reversed in second position, ace of cups upright in third (goal block position), nine of wands reversed in the fourth position, and six of swords reversed in the fifth position.

The picture is not upside down. 4/5ths of the cards came out reversed. 1/3

Some of y'all can't handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows

I love Uncle Andy's! It's for sure in the rotation in our house: tomato, red onion, italian sausage, light moz because we add feta, two garlic butter cups for crust dipping. What's your go-to order there?

@olorin-the-gemini.bsky.social Happy birthday! I hope you're eating pizza that at least gets in the ballpark of being as good as Tweenie's today! 😉

I don't think this is fair to tacos.

A friend reached out who has a collection of Brownies for show in her house. She's going to send me pics this evening to see if any of 'em have the part I need. That's the power of the internet and asking for what you want!

I know this is a long shot (pun intended).
