Cassette, then cd and now digital for me. Fun fact too, my first ever concert was seeing her.

Living in Georgia I can attest that this is accurate
This is deadass every republican campaign ad here in the south. I'm not even REMOTELY JOKING.
Green Day releases “Basket Case” 32 years ago today — the 2nd single off the “Dookie” LP and based on Billie Joe’s childhood bouts with panic attacks. “.. Writing about it was a way of coping,” he said, “expressing that feeling of going crazy — but ultimately pulling through."
A good reminder for anyone who may need it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice
enough of this shit
Happy #throwbackthursday to three weeks ago when someone went in for a teeth cleaning but ended up losing a few teeth. #shihtzusky #dogsofbluesky #petsofbluesky #dogsmiles
Yes masking is exhausting
Regardless of why an autistic person masks, it is exhausting and can erode mental health. Plus masking is one reason why autistic children often “lose it” when they come home from school after being “perfect” all day for their teachers and classmates. #autism #neurodiversity
I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

This is Maya. She couldn't decide between taking a swim and taking a nap, so she chose to do both. 13/10 (TT: tinychihuahuacedric)
He’s the #1 reason I am rooting for Spain tomorrow.

So stupid and so on par for the idiots currently in charge. 🤦♀️🙄🤬
An endless stream of batshittery.
This week, Grammy-winning singer SZA, née Solána Imani Rowe, shared that she had received a formal autism diagnosis. It may help more Black women and girls see themselves in a community that often overlooks them. https://bit.ly/4wyEgxP
SZA’s autism diagnosis is a familiar story for many autistic Black women
Black women and girls on the spectrum have long been under-diagnosed and overlooked. A diagnosis arrives late for many of them — or not at all.

Another sign that I am getting older, this is 35 years old 😂
Pearl Jam’s “Alive” turns 35 today. “The original story being told in the song is that of a young man being made aware of some shocking truths,” said Vedder. But after years of audiences singing “I’m still alive .. it’s like they’re celebrating .. They changed the meaning .. They lifted the curse.”
This place looks amazing.

On this day in 1994, Hootie & the Blowfish released their debut album, Cracked Rear View. The album went on to sell more than 16 million copies in the U.S. alone, making it one of the best-selling debut albums of all time. Favorite track?
This is devastating, not only in the majority's analysis that contorts the principles of constitutional interpretation beyond all recognition, but also for the way it strips one of the most vulnerable populations in America of the right to live a full and happy life.
6-3, Supreme Court upholds state bans on transgender athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
I stand as an ally to the LGBTQ Community, even if, and especially if the Supreme Court’s bigotry marginalizes those folks every chance it gets.
