Yeah. I think we all know it was about the color of his skin not his suit. It didn’t seem super subtle back then but by comparison to now? Ugh

I think about this almost every day.

I'm experimenting with how many apples I need to eat a day to keep EVERYONE away, whatever their profession.

Well, have you? Saved the daylight?

Because I'm here to tell you, if you don't, you'll miss out when I eat the Sun.

Same. Huge same.

Tonight I offer up my final playlist. I saved my favorite for last, a dark mix full of broody goth vibes.

Hope everyone is having a decent Tuesday. To add a little sparkle to your day I offer up my eighth playlist, a mix of femme focused pop and indie songs.

My gift to you this weekend is my seventh playlist, a mix of soul and rock for when you need something tangy.

I was reliably informed by science fiction that when things got this bad there would be a cool new future drug to keep me unaware and complacent. Where is my soma? My Substance D? My Forgetall and Acceptol? My Plutonium Nyborg?

One of the funny things about playing Music League with numerous folks with normal taste is it makes the urge to go full goth nearly overwhelming. Me: "Hmm I see you've submitted a well known pop megastar. Interesting. In return may I interest you in an industrial song about driving your car naked?"

This checks out.

On offer today is my sixth playlist, a mix of twinkly guitar led indie rock for long days.

Every time I check on this the probability is higher.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. If you need a pick me up here is a link to my fifth playlist, a high energy electronic dance mix.

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Happy Tuesday, my friends. Today I bring you my fourth playlist, a bright rhythm heavy mix featuring music from across the globe, as well as rap, to get the blood moving.

Exploring slot canyons is magical, but being able to do it with your best friend makes for a truly special experience. He was a trooper! Enjoy the *acoustics* in the beginning lol. ❤️🐾

Now for something completely different. For my third playlist I offer up a night at the goth club. A synth heavy blend of ebm, industrial, and darkwave just in time for the weekend.

Happy birthday!

Offering up another playlist. This one is an acoustic guitar mix (with a hint of other strings) ranging from country to folk to indie and beyond. This is my mix for pensive days in troubled times.

Every year I mix annual playlists & in 2024 I listened to more music than ever. As a result I have 10 mixes rather than my usual 3! I'll post them over the coming weeks. I'm kicking things off with this mellow & slightly haunted mix. I hope it brings joy. Lord knows we could all use more right now.

Just a reminder that if you tell a disabled person to move out of the US if they’re scared of living here, other countries don’t want us either. Countries will turn you away because you’re disabled. We’re seen as a burden and that’s so normalized that it’s okay to turn us away.

Thank you. Seeing this helped me get out of bed today.

Be patient with yourself. The words will return just like the days will get longer. And in the meantime you can always tell stories with me.

Worth revisiting. For reasons.

I have a little plea and it's this: please keep posting about things that aren't The Horrors. I am not saying to not look at or be informed about The Horrors. What I am saying—what I am genuinely kind of begging you to do—is keep posting about books and movies and sunsets and pets and joy. Please.
