Nihilism is all I have energy for lately. Existentialism is too much effort. Absurdism is WAY too much work. CPTSD midlife burnout on top of queer US life in 2025 takes everything I got just to wake up every day. I know most in my position resort to addiction or self-ending, but? Also too much work

Sending rest and blue skies and leaves that only fall into their designated areas (well-behaved leaves that never, ever clog city sewers or obfuscate citizens' carefully cultivated lawns). And also miraculous last-minute funding sources for your hard-working crew.

I so badly hoped to do a show this week. But I just can’t. I’m so sorry. Some really heavy stuff has happened at my dayjob, and it has ground me all the way down. It wouldn’t be right for me to get on air this week. I got nuthin’. I will try to collect myself for next Friday. phoole.com

New supervillain: 1920s-era socialite who secretly hunts down anyone who invokes THE GREAT GATSBY without having read the book or having understood the point of it, and runs them over with a yellow Rolls Royce. Or shoots them in a swimming pool.

BOO! NO SHOW from me this week, but Halloween haunt soundtracks abound at phoole.com!

I have had the most hectic work week, my country is collapsing, and we've killed our home planet. So forgive me for indulging in being delighted that my favorite damn band in the universe, The Young Punx, now INCLUDE ME on their next album, out in 2026! soundcloud.com/theyoungpunx...

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

This is a few short blocks from my office.

I don’t want to spoil anything, but something on Page 149 of @theauthorguy.bsky.social’s ANIMA RISING made me bark with laughter in a way that I did not think that particular thing would ever, ever make me laugh again, especially given this ridiculous fucking world we live in today.

You know the artist was a genius when the fans are producing edits this good

Have patience with someone who doesn't look like they're actively resisting.

They might, for example, be shielding someone who, in a concentration camp, would die, painfully, in one to two days, without their vast regimen of medications and food on demand.

Covert resistance also exists.
