Weird week for people who unironically call their friends “my love”

Honestly, fall so far has my elder emo heart all a flutter. It’s been good for music releases so far. 👌🏻

Woke up to the new Motion City Soundtrack album.

Today will be a good day.

Did not expect a dance party, thoroughly enjoyed it. Check them out for some cool tunes.

Nite: Heavily 80s-inspired, synth pop ala The Cure/Eurythmics
Mystery Skulls: indie electro pop

I am not in my early 20s anymore 😂 Went to the Mystery Skulls/Nite concert in Boston on Sunday night and I'm still paying for it.

10/10 would do again though!

What's that? Another docuseries on the Salem Witch trials? Don't mind if I do .....

Lucky!

All I want is 1 week where I’m not sending messages to doctors and sounding like a peer.

Where’s my honorary med degree?

How is it only Tuesday…

I think we’re finally moving? I was supposed to land at ruggles ten minutes ago, but we haven’t even reached Mansfield yet 🫠 so much for actually coming in early this morning

My birthday was ❤️‍🔥🔥

Do you have an update on when the 810 train is actually leaving? It’s made no announcements at all since they turned off the train at 7:50

I’m held hostage by the mbta commuter rail and the conductor has made no announcements. I had to check the site to find that there’s a delay due to a train ahead of us, but why isn’t the conductor actually communicating with us? There’s an intercom system for a reason….

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders.

Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

I am so tired of being angry.

THE RAINCOAT When the doctor suggested surgery and a brace for all my youngest years, my parents scrambled to take me to massage therapy, deep tissue work, osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine unspooled a bit, I could breathe again, and move more in a body unclouded by pain. My mom would tell me to sing songs to her the whole forty-five-minute drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-five minutes back from physical therapy. Shed say that even my voice sounded unfettered by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang, because I thought she liked it. I never asked her what she gave up to drive me, or how her day was before this chore. Today, at her age, I was driving myself home from yet another spine appointment, singing along to some maudlin but solid song on the radio, and I saw a mom take her raincoat off and give it to her young daughter when a storm took over the afternoon. My god, I thought, my whole life I've been under her raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel that I never got wet. Ada Limón

I love how tender this is.

The government shuts down on March 14 unless Congress passes a new spending bill. Republicans need Democratic votes to pass anything, but they’re pushing a budget that slashes essential programs, attacks basic rights, and hands unchecked power over to Trump, Elon Musk, and their billionaire allies.

Drew some cute little Ranma characters. Nothing fancy, just something to practice with markers, especially since it's been a million years since I've actually drawn something not work related.

In case you were looking to backup your kindle books (since Amazon is removing the option to download them on the 26th), this script works quite well in minimizing the click-pain of downloading them individually:

It’s so incredibly sobering. Working in higher ed right now has me on constant edge.

I do not like this fact.

It is only 8 am and I have already cried today while making language changes to work websites. I have been through so much shit, but I fear I do not have the emotional fortitude to make it through the next four years.

HA, as if it'll only be four years.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

My alcohol markers are supposed to arrive today. Please arrive faster.

Day 2 of watching movies in the background that I haven't watched in a long time. Yesterday was Crazy.Stupid.Love, today's is Almost Famous.

What will tomorrow bring?

Welcome to how League sucks you in 🥲

Happy Onyx Storm release day!
