Jette is good people. She’s also a good artist and a new friend. Please follow her main Bsky profile (below) and her art profile here: @ninjettenine.bsky.social Thank you!
Welp. I misread a situation on the internet, threw out some verbal fisticuffs, and
Then we talked it out and now we're friends.
(Not sorry)
((About the making a friend part))

Pat Healy in the film is the only accurate representation of what Boing Boing (the zine, not the website) used to call Unhappy Mutants -- angry, sarcastic young men in alternative scenes who were "ironically" fascistic.
Turned out there were a lot of them and the web supercharged them.

I realized that I was so eager to tell @therachel.bsky.social about my being a concert know-it-all for last week’s show that I neglected to mention that the concert itself answered her call to action- it was Aimee Mann’s “Lost in Space” anniversary tour where she only sang songs from that album!
Ep 411 is up! Andy eats a cookie & talks about Pyjama Man’s latest antics & Tracy Morgan singing U2. On Rachel’s Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social) shares listener stories of full-album concerts, follows RATM across the pond & looks at a Christopher Cross singles collection.

Finished Unfit by Ariana Harwicz. A novella-size tale told from the perspective of a woman who’s only allowed to see her kids once a month during supervised visits. She sets her in-laws’ barn on fire & drives away with her twin boys. Great prose. The story moves like a wild bottle rocket. Liked it.

Finally catching up with my podcasts. This week’s #ChartChat made me feel a twinge of shameful recognition when @therachel.bsky.social correctly described the phenomenon of the bigger fan at a concert overexplaining each song to the lesser fan. That was me & my sister at Aimee Mann this year.
Episode 410 is available! Andy talks about helping his mom look for a car, his 25th wedding anniversary, and SweeTart Ropes. Also, we listen to a clip of the singer of Linus. On Rachel's Chart Chat, Rachel from Des Moines (@therachel.bsky.social)
delivers her report on seeing Yes in Omaha on Nov 7.

Finished Please Don’t Sit on My Bed in your Outside Clothes by Phoebe Robinson. Discovered Phoebe when she was interviewed on Good Ones. This is a collection of essays on relationships, life during COVID-19, self care, dating a British dude, Black hair, travel, BLM & more. Funny & smart. I liked it.
