Literally me every time I hear someone in this administration talk
“Mr. Madison, what you have just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

The scene outside the federal building in Asheville this morning. My sign said "SEND ELON TO MARS."
Crowd with signs outside the federal building in Asheville, NC. Two young women holding signs. One says "I'd call Trump a cunt but he lacks the depth and warmth." The other says "I know I know, I'm standing up for my rights, I'm such a bitch." A sign that says "Hey Congress I got a spine for you" with a plastic spine hanging below it.

I could not get enough of the pop girlies this year! They even bumped perennial faves Rolling Stones, Spoon, Nick Drake and Radiohead off my top list. (The Talking Heads and the Clash still had a place in my heart this year.)

Also Wet Leg rules 🦵💦

An advertising campaign that says drugs are bad?
Meryl Streep as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada. She has short silver hair and a black blazer and she's saying "groundbreaking."

Gorgeous 😍

The color of the spindle berries remind me of beautyberry, which I always find arresting when I see them in the wild.

I mean, this is literally iconic. And so is the Beat Happening cat! I could have drawn it when I was 4! People, you just have to try a *little* bit, that's all we're asking for.
A hand-drawn alien that looks like a frog with two protuding eyes like a snail. The words "Hi, How Are You" serve as a title across the top with a subtitle of "The Unfinished Album." Beneath the alien are the words "Sept 83 Daniel Johnston."

The Linda Lindas doing a cover of Bikini Kill's "Rebel Girl" at the Orange Peel in Asheville - one of the last shows I saw before Helene. I'm itching to see live music again!
