really surprised by this, does not make sense to me

in the 50s young handsome American men loved to be named “Van”

You can get a lot of networking done in the abattoir if you’re not squeamish

I got full body chills when I realized I was looking at an adult man drawn by Charles M. Schulz

I desperately need to read the Jim Sasseville peanuts comics now

learned two shattering facts today: Charles Schulz did a single panel sports-themed comic between 1957 and 1959, and there were peanuts magazine comics done by a different guy

on further consideration it is perhaps not an onion, but still beautiful. Dupont station.

in Toronto there is a subway station with two beautiful murals depicting onions

night 2 of my show: basically stayed in the vocal pocket all night and also acted decently and moved set pieces at the right times :)))

I really like the new game of thrones show so far. Peter Claffey is perfect and I love how all the noblemen sound like potion seller

it’s so funny to me the way he calls it a “Lebrecht interview” like, what a weird brain he must have

subpoenaed gotta be up there as one of the worst strings of letters

(hitman places little taxidermied squirrel with a bomb in it on the forest floor) EXCELLENT work, 47. tomorrow morning the owls of ga’hoole will have a new legend to tell

I would love to read a good contemporary novel with mormon or evangelical characters

One thing I’ve found that tends to work well is try and find a question to ask based on a fact you know about the other person, like, “hey, how did your driving test go,” something like that - and then if you want you can move to other topics thru associative logic

"zoomers are killing the bar industry" oh interesting was it zoomers who decided a drink should cost seventeen dollars

the world needs more critical anthologies

A Different Man happened to me today in terms of meeting someone really confident & personable whose physical difference is a lot more noticeable than mine

I can say for certain that I haven’t seen that, but I have read the Wikipedia article on that specific surgery. Can’t remember what it’s called though

homemade gatorade went to sundance?? thats awesome

thumbnail for a video called “bookstores aren’t the same anymore” with an image of a guy holding a book and looking sad

the video could be good but it bothers me so much that YouTube thinks I might want to watch it

i think its easy with just how tacky trump specifically is to be like oh fascists have no empathy they cant make art but thats just verifiably not true. theres plenty of extremely right wing art thats fascinating, resonant and very popular in different degrees. its better to be eyes open about that

A color portrait of Leontyne Price, the groundbreaking African-American opera singer renowned for her lush, velvety voice. The soprano made her mark in the 1960s in the title role of Verdi’s Aida. After her final performance at the New York Metropolitan Opera in 1985, the audience applauded for 25 minutes, and Price appeared the next day on the front page of the New York Times. Jack was there that night, the escort of a much older man. The rest of the evening was a disaster, but Jack will never forget Price’s soaring voice, supple and commanding, like a promise hanging in the air between lovers.
