This was my project! It’s so cool that people are still enjoying it!!

I think he does the Deering Oaks Park area but he owns his own truck and has a cute dog and grows vegetables in pots in the truck and posts about progressive politics on ig. Worth chasing/following!

Is Deering Ice Cream out and about yet??? Bait Bag absolutely chased him down a few summers ago. Worth every step we ran.

Pen and I are ready to start a Hidden Fountains cover band after getting listen to the mixing and remixing process

It is our time

The way I was so sure someone was going to hand me an elemental belt buckle when I was a kid

Having now read aloud possibly every classic fantasy series, The Dark is Rising is THE BEST, especially if your rubric includes wordcraft.

I know, I need to write it up someday! RIP Sangillo’s, your excellent jukebox almost makes me forgive you

Also featured: my husband’s near alcohol poisoning after bowl-sized tequila shots and Eritrean food, an ever-increasing group of people on a bar hopping excursion that somehow never made it to the gay bar, my car getting towed, and a canceled ferry

The same night I had the Ten Tigers cocktail at Boda and went to Bubba’s for 80s night. The weekend escalated from there.

The night before I took my emergency first responder exam I sliced my finger open with a travel razor and manufactured a bandage with toilet paper and a hair elastic (I passed my exam)

The last I heard anything about them was when Angie Hart was in an episode of the show Firefly back in…200?

Omg YES received her music on a copied cassette from a boy in 1996 or thereabouts and have loved it ever since!

Seeking comfort from the eventual embrace of dirt

I was there and it was great and I regret not seeing you!

Dry frosted mini wheats 👀

I am home alone this week while the rest of my family is in Arizona and I started talking out loud to “the pets” (to myself) as soon as they left so…no

If you want a little action to help good people do good work, come to @portlandhousemusic.bsky.social on Friday for the Bait Bag/Midnight Breakfast/Louisa Stancioff show! It’s a fundraiser for Safe Maine, Maine’s only statewide abortion fund. Tickets here: tixr.com/e/132219

I got to see Deborah Harry and Chris Stein as a duo at cbgb (but the smaller room) at one of the save cbgb shows in like 2006 or so. Magical!

Bow to no tyrants

Let me just rewrite my mind real quick Change is, surprisingly, possible

The world at large is a roiling mass of chaos but in the tiny world of me I have finally stopped coughing after four years and so I wrote about it

Moonlighting as a disco ball

I went for a swim with my daughter and when we went back to the car this butterfly landed on my head! She captured this photo and a video with her hushed, awed narration.

Yeah I had the thought today that I should update mine buuuuut then I did not

Small action: went to the @outmaine.bsky.social Rainbow Gala to support their Rainbow Ball weekend! If you’re in #maine consider supporting this amazing organization! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

Did you know that Fox Islands Concerts has been bringing world class musicians to North Haven and Vinalhaven for over 60 years?? I was honored to write about them in this month’s Maine Boats, Homes, and Harbors magazine!

#maine pals: please join my band Bait Bag and our friends at this show! We’ll be raising funds for Safe Maine to help them ensure access to abortion care! Rage with us!

Made a rookie error today after 20 years of teaching:

I asked a kindergarten class to come up with rhymes for “six”.
