A photo on the Merriam Webster website to illustrate the term recycle. A persons hand is putting a plastic water bottle into a recycle bin. The surface of the water is nowhere near horizontal, and two fingers of the hand are not curved around the bottle and are pointing in slightly wrong directions.

Bask Ye Samplers, by Bill Sutton from the album Passing Through

I have two recs for you: this song ... billbrendasutton.bandcamp.com/track/bask-y...

I keep a list of real howlers I've encountered over the years. I won't say which publisher this was.

- North Africa 4%

- Other World Religions 25%

Yesterday, for the first time, I seriously considered changing my affiliation from Dem to Independent. But then I wouldn't have a vote in primaries*, so I'm staying, at least for now.

*I think that differs by state, but it's how it is here in Florida.

"We will keep fighting," he said, hours before the group he led stopped fighting.

So the Senate has decided
That it’s fine if millions die
And the fight was all for naught
Just so long as they’re not caught
Showing that they only lie
To this nation that’s divided

Primaries for senators

And store it in a home that they may not have or that might not have a working freezer.

Here's another album-full. Especially recommended: "Dear Gina," an entire original horror story told in 4 minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEBk...

Moon Shadows, by Cynthia McQuillin 16 track album

About Halloween specifically? Or just spooky stuff in general? If you mean the second, well, let me introduce you to filk. There's lots of horror-type songs there! Here's an album-full. margaretkristoph.bandcamp.com/album/moon-s...

"We're a very knowledgeable family."

I've seen it only once. I went in completely unspoiled and loved it. I should check it out again.

(I gotta tag @brunsworks.bsky.social for this one!)

This song played behind a wordless skit I was in at @necronomicontampa.bsky.social so I played it a bunch to nail my cues.

In a trivia contest at the same con, I got a music question that mentioned a 1950s horror movie and a catchy tune and then played it. Or started to.

🎶Doot-doo-doo--🎶 BUZZ! 😁

(There are some legit reasons I have not to go, not least because Mr. Atom and I haven’t had our fall vaccinations yet. But if I’m being honest, it’s mostly fear. I collapse in crises. If I’m arrested or threatened, I’m likely to fall apart, and that won’t help anyone.)

Stay safe, my siblings and cousins,
All those who will march for our land.
Stay safe, I pray for the lot of you …
And please try to understand.

2/3

I’ve decided (at last) I’m not going.
I’ll be sheltering here at home.
But my heart will be there on the street with you,
Though I’m too much a coward to roam.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Scentsless

(I'm anosmic. Born that way, as far as I can tell.)

You're welcome! I also came to filk-collecting late (though I'd been aware of it for a while), so I'm right there with you on having missed a lot when it was new.
