I didn't think it was possible for *every* apartment in *every* building around mine to be having a party simultaneously, but, Friday of a pride weekend is a pretty good excuse, I guess. I lost count at twenty two.

I’m reprising Tenebrae in Ravenna Park, Seattle, next Saturday (8/1), 7–10 pm. NOTAFLOF. Joined by @dirtsecret.bsky.social & @lunarrabbit.bsky.social performing their incredible & creaturely musics. Plus tea, vendors, an evening of poetry and ritual beneath the trees. Please come by & join the howl!

Your Cookware Got Worse On Purpose
