in the very unlikely scenario where i get to hear the Overture from Through This Fire Across from Peter Balkan live, i will simply disintigrate

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

having the kind of day where i get completely wrecked by a post in a local gardening group
July 27, 2025 at 7:37 PM
since january, i have been working on an essay about having seen 100 mountain goats shows. i am not a writer, but matty is, and does a much better job expressing what so much of it is about more than i can. please read it (and also his previous piece in the thread on peter hughes' retirement)
Now that Mountain Goats tour is coming up again I've got my hands in the dirt about it. Here's a more personal essay about having-gone-to over 60 Mountain Goats shows in 9 years, where I probably saw a lot of you out there. Hard to say if you'll see me again. But:
