I like taking photos of moss and buildings and cemeteries and bands. Spooky. Any pronouns.

Here’s a photo I can’t believe I was lucky enough to take of Katie Gavin at the Atlantis in D.C. a few months back.
Black and white photo of a woman with long straight hair, which is red, but appears dark. She is seated singing into a microphone while playing an acoustic guitar on her lap.

well it's halloween in my mind
a dark green drawing of the house from practical magic on an orange and pale peach coloured background. there is a pale yellow moon behind the house, six witches are standing on the roof wearing black dresses, black witches hats and holding black umbrellas. there are trees on either side of the house. the lights are shining a warm yellowy orange through the windows and there are small stars dotted around.

I have warned about the rightwing attack on empathy. It is as dangerous as any attack on democracy. It will accelerate in Musks’ hands. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.

The type of shit in my “now reading” pile (pro tip: the trick to never finishing a book is to try to read several at the same time).
A stack of three books, organized by size (smallest on top to largest on bottom), viewed from the side so that the spines can be seen. The top book is the 33 1/3 book on “In Utero” by Nirvana, written by Gillian G. Garr. The middle book is “We Could Be Rats,” written by Emily Austin. The bottom book is “Mood Machine: The Rise of Spotify and the Costs of the Perfect Playlist” written by Liz Pelly

I am a dummy
Okay, I am feeling like a little bit of a dummy because when I downloaded the Flashes app and was setting it up, it was like “for the best experience, we recommend making a new account for Flashes so that your Bluesky and Flashes notifications and activities don’t get all crossed up” or something, so I did that. But it seems like most of the people I am finding and following on here are just using their Bluesky handle lol.

SCOOP: Now that Linda McMahon is confirmed/sworn in as secretary, Trump will be imminently issuing an executive order eliminating the Department of Education.

I’ve obtained a draft of an email that McMahon will be sending to staff re: the EO and the department’s “final mission”.

Here is a portion:
After President Trump's inauguration last month, he has steadily signed a slate of executive orders to keep these education promises: combatting critical race theory, DEl, gender ideology extremism, and discrimination in admissions. President Trump has also been focused on eliminating wasteful bureaucracy and harmful programs in the federal government. To that end, today he signed [Executive Order XYZ, entitled "Eliminating the Department of Education,] which has given us a clear and final mission. We are to identify which of the Department's functions, programs, and offices are not mandated by statute, and eliminate them. This reorganization will impact staff, budgets, reporting, and more —and in coming months, we will determine how it can be accomplished with minimal delay and disruption. The President further tasked us with creating a plan to reallocate and reassign functions of the Department of Education that would be more effectively managed by other agencies. This plan will offer Congress a road map toward fulfilling the expectations of the President and the American people. The new vision—which I hope each of you will embrace going forward—can be expressed as four main convictions: Parents are the primary decision makers in their children's education. Students deserve to be protected from physical violence, racial discrimination, medical tyranny, and gender extremism ideology on campus. Postsecondary education should be a path to a well-paying career aligned with workforce needs. Taxpayer-funded education should refocus on meaningful learning: proficiency in math, reading, and core subjects, and patriotism in American history and civics. As we move to reduce the Department's middleman role in education, these four convictions must guide us toward conscientious and pragmatic action. The elimination of bureaucracy should free us, not limit us, in our pursuit of these goals Removing red tape and bureaucratic barriers will empower parents to make th
