@katz.theracket.news hi! I hope you’re doing well. I read your post about your relationship to Rachel Pollack via your aunt Edith, and was hoping you might be able to connect me with her. Would be happy to tell you more, I’m writing a lot about Rachel right now! Thanks so much :)

That Samuel Delany pic is so nuts??? He’s so young I don’t recognize him at all!

Cybertruck with TOYOTA written on the back, trying to be sneaky

Hm do you think anyone will notice?

I can’t speak to accessibility questions directly but in my general experience concord is a pretty hostile and unpleasant venue, I wish the best but it’s just not fun or easy to be inside there :(

I previously my talk with Vivian was Tuesday, but I was wrong, it’s tonight! You’re allowed to tease me about this if you make it out tonight, I deserve it. Hope to see you there!

Thanks @littlepuss.net for making this happen, I’m stoked 😎

Doing a lil book talk with Vivian Blaxwell for her new book ‘Worthy of the Event’ at Women and Children First next Tuesday night! You can rsvp for the talk here: www.womenandchildrenfirst.com/event/worthy...

That’s a lot of purchases Jean lol. I think if like, it’s busy and you see people eying you for your table I try not to linger too much, beyond that I think you get at least 2-3 hours depending on the spot and how busy it is, maybe more if you’re a regular

@sadfrancisco.bsky.social hi there! I am in SF doing some research/writing on the Tenderloin, and came upon some of your work about the historic district. Would you be open to chatting more sometime soon?

Absolutely! He’s so lovely and down to earth, truly the best energy. I’m glad you enjoyed!

Omg every year I get the invite but it’s always in a little crawl space or something and I can never actually make it :( happy for them though

A Long Guest in Someone Else’s Home Interview with Indie rock luminary Phil Elverum on the art of being engaged but not hung up

I had the immense honor of interviewing Phil Elverum, aka The Microphones/Mount Eerie, about his new record for @tricyclemag.bsky.social.
Discussing his work from a Buddhist perspective was immensely rewarding, and gave so much context to his catalogue! Read it here: tricycle.org/article/phil...

Godspeed You! Black Emperor Works Hard To Hope | Defector If you’ve only ever listened to Godspeed You! Black Emperor’s recorded output, you’ve probably never heard “Hope Drone.” The song has no fixed form; instead, it is an evolving being, seemingly fated t...

For @defector.bsky.social, I wrote about the new Godspeed You! Black Emperor record, being witness to genocide, and abiding in grief and joy through it all. Grateful for their music, and that I got to write this!

I desperately miss living next to Primo Chukis at Lawrence and Paulina! They make their tostadas with two tortillas instead of one, and their green sauce is the perfect balance of heat and flavor for my baby white person taste buds.

I feel like we’ve lost so much common sense. Even if Covid ended tomorrow, I’d still mask if I felt crummy, and on transit and in most big crowds. We can get back to that mentality, it won’t kill us! But the alternative might!

I’m not really doing much here, mostly bc I’m doing less social media in general, but I just want to make the PSA that if you feel in any way sick you should just wear a mask in public! Take a test! Even if it’s not Covid, we can take very easy measures to keep each other safe!

Thinking about how my organization is looking for a facilitator to lead a group retreat and my co-organizer found a group that uses improv for team building purposes lol

When I asked a group of (former) friends who were all AFAB non-binary people to not use the f-slur in a ‘reclaimed’ way for a few days after it was used to target me and another trans woman on the bus, I was told that I was just being a white woman leaning on their only point of marginalization 🙃

Best of luck Rory! Having been in a situation where I was out of the country for a childhood dog passing, and then home for two others when I was an adult and it just worked out that I was home, I know how hard that feeling is.

Looking for more people on here now that we’re seemingly fleeing the dying remains of Twitter! If you feel so inclined, I’d appreciate a signal boost on this one — I know a lot of people have already migrated, but don’t know how to find them. Tysm!
