Been reading a lot of vintage magazines lately. The real, actual objects - I was gifted some, and have purchased others. They're not expensive and I can't tell you how delightful it is to read an old Omni or Playboy or Interview. Highly recommended.

Sometimes I just sit and watch the big cattle call scenes from All That Jazz, Fame, and Staying Alive (shut up) back to back to back a few times because I am in love with the specific maroon/pink Danskins, dancing, and sweaty heartbreak aesthetic of a late 70s/early 80s audition sequence, you know?

Omg I didn’t pick up my bass for like a week and when I went to practice today YIKES. Clearly consistency is my friend, and I gotta be more disciplined about that

Feeling very Little Edie right now. Like if you asked me “how are you?”, I would say “in a heightened state of Little Edie Bouvier, thanks.”.

Putting together my Minneapolis show for Sunday, and I had to have this in the playlist. I still feel 16 when I hear this, when it was on heavy rotation with all my midwest weirdo friends, when all my dumb boyfriends looked just like those guys on the roof

Long before 'The Real World' and the nonsense that followed, MTV was something else entirely. Something new & never-before-seen, something culturally 'important' to us fossilizing Gen-Xers. #ripMTV

The silent apology eggs at the end of The Big Night
This is a favorite question to ask. Favorite little moment of kindness in a movie? I'm thinking of Tim Blake Nelson leaving money on the sill after they steal a pie in O Brother.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.
