YouTube video by NirvanaVEVO Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Live On MTV Unplugged Unedited)

Kurdt's Lead Belly cover is still fucken amazing and chill-inducing. He was gone 4 months after this aired on MTV.

Oof. Struck such a nostalgia chord inside me. Thanks for sharing.

Goodbye MTV...killed by the very thing I'm sharing this on, but least we enjoyed the days when it was ALL about the music.

Here's my tribute.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

A tweet from @a_lolbrarianbthat reads "We went to the planetarium today and when the voiceover said 'this is the earth' one of the kids booed"

This is my favorite post of all time

I am enchanted.

Art History by Susan Auerbach - Rattle: Poetry In the picture he sent, a naked young woman hangs trussed in a tangle of red rope, legs tied in mid-leap, crisscross-bound breasts and thighs gaped at by salarymen with cameras.

Stunning. "Joy sweeps over us like a bright sheen of water."

Catalpa Tree is TWISTED. Parthenon in the background.

There is a tree in Nashville that I'm pretty sure was pulled up into a tornado when it was a sapling, but it had strong roots and it survived. I visit it every time I'm at Centennial Park. When I first moved here, it was barely taller than me, and now it's an adult!

Slamming Tylenol like tic tacs so my children will be gods

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant with me and now I post on a niche microblogging site everyday :/

Thank you for saying this ✨ Been feeling a bit blue about how autism and trans are being treated as "disorders".

A poem in black text against a white background. The poem: And Now It's September By Barbara Crooker and the garden diminishes: cucumber leaves rumpled and rusty, zucchini felled by borers, tomatoes sparse on the vines. But out in the perennial beds, there's one last blast of color: ignitions of goldenrod, flamboyant asters, spiraling mums, all those flashy spikes waving in the wind, conducting summer's final notes. The ornamental grasses have gone to seed, haloed in the last light. Nights grow chilly, but the days are still warm; I wear the sun like a shawl on my neck and arms. Hundreds of blackbirds ribbon in, settle in the trees, so many black leaves, then, just as suddenly, they're gone. This is autumn's great Departure Gate, and everyone, boarding passes in hand, waits patiently in a long, long line.

First time seeing this - the line “I wear the sun like a shawl on my neck
and arms.” is sublime.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

California’s $23 Billion Plan to Restore Federal Cuts to Scientific Research

California is devising a plan to create their own National Institutes of Health to counter federal cuts to science research.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

The New Mexico Department of Health has issued a standing order that expands access to updated COVID-19 vaccines by allowing healthcare providers and pharmacists to vaccinate anyone six months and older without requiring individual prescriptions.

You can get a copy here:

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned.

And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized.

I refuse to sanitize him.

A U.S. Citizen Detained by ICE for Three Days Tells His Story A conversation with George Retes, an Army veteran swept up in a California raid

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
