Pitching Your Vinyl Story to IHTOV The possibilities are endless, really. No pitch is too weird or offbeat for me. I want variety on the site, not the same old records being talked over and over.

i have enough pitches from halloween for IHTOV. still open for thanksgiving pitches (albums you are grateful for, alice's restaurant, etc) and now open for christmas. this could be about christmas music or getting a stereo for christmas, open to interpretation ihavethatonvinyl.com/liner-notes/...

do not allow cbs canceling the late show with stephen colbert shortly after its settlement with trump be buried under the wall street journal story

do not let that happen

Absolutely pathetic to see Japanese Breakfast advertising AI slop.

A sellout in the truest sense of the word.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

Visited Dollywood today and my life has been changed

This is bleak reading

I was laid off this week out of the blue (thanks, ChatGPT). I’m casting my net far and wide—I have experience copywriting, teaching, editing, program development in parks and rec, and administrative duties in higher education… if you know of anything, I’d appreciate the shout!❣️

I’d recommend Big Swiss - Jen Begain. It’s based in Hudson Valley, queer, weird, and incredibly funny. I’ve been consuming it!

Back to trying to figure this app out, hello

It’s suuuch a beaut!

NYC friends, I organized a reading for my pal Rose, who I met at Kenyon Writers WS (I still remember being so excited about her work on day 1) come celebrate queer joy this week with a fab reading 🦋💗🏳️‍⚧️

Highlight of my trip home was teaching my 11 yr old nephew to play blackjack and then watch him absolutely wipe the table for a few rounds

cool, shut it down

Baby, It’s Me, Polio, and I’ve Missed You Can I be vulnerable with you for a second? I always believed we’d get back together. Smallpox thought I was nuts. He kept telling me, “You’re delus...

Birthday weekend highlights: being stoned at the screening of the graduate and audibly gasping when Mrs. Robinson dropped and it all clicked for me. Also my cake and making it to joyce manor tn despite sleeping for 4 hours. Mwah

David Lynch describes going to to Bob’s Big Boy to drink vast sums of coffee and chocolate milkshakes

Picked up this little book of writers’ writing rituals, & I think most of em are liars — “up at dawn, 6 hours at my desk, followed by calisthenics, liquor, & reading edifying works.” But David Lynch delivers the goods.

The way I missed the game last year because my travel plans didn’t work out and I’m missing it again this year…devastated. I need to chug gravy AND a beer out of it
