'cause rock is cool but the struggle is better

That's beautiful

I love a lanky teenage kitten!

OMG HE'S PERFECT

I've sent a bunch of emails and dms and made a dw post about my upcoming Europe trip. I have a spreadsheet of possible things to do.

So now, of course, I'm contemplating a massive itinerary change that would add on a bunch of extra planning.

I'm judging myself so hard right now.

Thank you! It's one of my favourite dresses I've ever owned!

Thank you! I love that dress so much!

With thanks to @ellenfremedon.bsky.social and @oliviacirce.bsky.social and whoever else it was who convinced me to buy this dress while sitting in the lobby at Wiscon.

A fat white woman in a dark blue party dress standing in front of a wall of bookshelves. She has bleached-blonde hair with a faded red streak in it, that's short on one side and shoulder length on the other. The dress is midnight blue taffeta, with gold and red floral embroidery on the bodice and slightly puffed cap sleeves. The front of the dress is cut in a sharp vee to approximately the bottom of the ribs, showing rather a lot of cleavage but without any risk of a wardrobe malfunction. The skirt flares out at the hips and it has pockets.

I keep seeing that "post somebody who looks good in a dress" meme going around and it's all various celebrity pictures, but my immediate reaction was, "I look great in a dress!" So, here, have a picture I forgot to post in December of me looking great in a dress.

RIP Country Joe. The first person (iirc) I interviewed for my protest songs book and a good dude

move slow and repair things

The most perfect little peep!

I'm about to register for in-person attendance for the first time and I'm so excited!

An old white cassette tape tucked into a cassette case with a cassette card. The label on the tape indicates that it’s Ampex brand. The handwriting on the top line of the label reads “NIXON’S RESIGNATION”

Helping Mom & Dad go through boxes of their old cassettes… this one has been the best find so far:

My iTunes has been doing this for years. It pulls up either Kill James Bond or Lions Led By Donkeys as the cover for a bunch of songs seemingly at random.

That's a great piece. Thank you.

a gray cat with rose highlights is on a scratching pad throne, thinking about things

the existence of a can opener implies the existence of an entity whose sole purpose is to manically and arbitrarily reseal cat food into new cans.

a grim and unnecessary cycle.

we must break the wheel.

Those are delightful!

Isn't it great!

Thank you!

I've been living in a hotel since mid-2024, and I've finally found an apartment if I can come up with $2500 up front for the deposit + first month's rent. Any help is appreciated, including sharing this post. #MutualAidRequest #TransCrowdFund

Kyla Jamieson My Sexual Orientation is Spring We change time, make the days longer. I start to forget the pact I made with unhappiness, take myself to the ocean, say I just need to catch the last few minutes of light. This is how spring is love, the way it pulls us towards pleasure.

this is how spring is love

I think he's trying to tell me something.

Rio! Nakata! SO GOOD. He's going to be SO exciting as a senior competitor. He already has what it takes to compete against the best. #WorldJFigure

That opening fall was heartbreaking, but Minkyu Seo didn't let it slow him down. He absolutely nailed every subsequent element. He's such a beautiful skater. #WorldJFigure

Happy birthday!

Rough beginning for Daiya Ebihara, but he kept it from completely falling apart. I'm sorry, but the Avatar soundtrack is just not very good and it doesn't make for particularly exciting or interesting programs. #WorldJFigure
