Finally feel like a human after 2ish months of packing, moving last week, and unpacking/setting stuff up afterwards. That was grueling but we are on the other side of it thankfully. My new place is nice and I am hoping to find more stability here. The neighborhood is nice too, lots of good food.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I would never insulate that.” (Camera pans to group having a heated discussion in response about some form of allegation or statement, all standing in front of badly installed/insulated drywall. Camera pans out further, they are at a dyslexia support group.)

Idk if I ever talked about this, but most of my time in the leather community was just immersing myself in the experience to understand it and learn from others. These days, I am more towards asexual than not, but I do value my experiences and the connections I made (for the most part) from then.

I feel like I should do something to commemorate Star Trek being around for 60 years come September but I’m not sure what tbh

it’s really funny to me when Christians cite like Leviticus as justification for being anti-gay w/e because it’s like, the whole reason Jesus came is to make a new covenant between God and humanity so that those laws aren’t binding anymore. That’s literally Jesus’ whole thing, how’d you miss that???

I think a lot about when Steve Wozniak took the Apple 1 to his job at HP, because they had first claim to any inventions their employees made, and the exec there was like “What on earth would ordinary people want with computers?” He was kinda right lol, I mean look at how things turned out

I’m primarily a vegetarian but I eat meat when it’s free / all that is available / it’s a novel experience I’d miss out on, but there are a few meats that I will generally eat because of how much I like them: - prosciutto - skirt steak / carne asada - sausage gravy (esp with biscuits) - pork belly

Btw I’m fundraising for Chicago House in the AIDS Run & Walk this year, support in any amount would be cool 💕 Chicago House provides housing + support to people affected by HIV, primarily LGBTQ people and/or people of color, and $ raised goes directly to support clients. action.aidschicago.org/veiak

Flashback to me helping start a vintage vinyl listening club in high school back when that wasn’t cool. I am arguing with the boys who only listen to Led Zeppelin and Metallica on repeat to let me play the John Lee Hooker, Miles Davis, Tracy Chapman, and Pete Seeger records I brought. I’m right.

I know that because of being in a alternative rock band people may think that I primarily listen to that but I was raised playing church music, blues, and jazz, and it’s where all of my formative experiences come from. Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, and Grateful Dead were my main guys for quite a while too

V: I’m listening to Alice’s Restaurant. H: Nice V: Yeah I saw it was an example of a shaggy dog story and I knew the song but didn’t know what that meant. H: Sure yeah V: I heard about it while reading the Wikipedia page for “Joke.” I wondered if they had any new ones. H: Oh my god, I love you

I’m surprised people consider the B-52s to be primarily a new wave because to me they’re so obviously a psychobilly band a la The Cramps. Like there’s very little difference between the tone of those two bands imo and they’re both kinda remembered as meme bands despite both making very good music.

It’s Hayley’s birthday today!! 💕 They don’t like to use social media but I can telepathically transfer them any birthday wishes because we got an experimental C2C (clown-to-clown) neuralink-like device installed last week and there are only severe, but not fatal, side effects. So that’s pretty cool

The diarrhea lettuce is a psyop the feds just figured out how to effectively utilize the brown note. Wake up sheeple
