Apple Replay is here and, once again, I listened to quite a bit of music. My high water mark remains last year where I had 144,561 minutes, but this is not bad. #replay25

Sorry to say, this song is good.

The city is tearing out the streateries. Thanks! I definitely wanted space for two cars to park and not 30 of my neighbors to be able to gather and connect face to face.

Obsessed with this album and it's not even out yet. If you like nu-metal revival, particularly Deftones influenced stuff (Thornhill, Moodring, etc), can’t recommend enough. U (phoria) in particular is a strong single. https://music.apple.com/us/album/1849014768 #newmusic

I see many people shoot themselves in the foot in the whole making adult friends thing through one, simple bit of self sabotage: saying no.

When a would be friend invites you to a show with a band you may not vibe with, a watch along of a show you’re not familiar with, a bar with a theme you […]

I keep politics on my feed to a minimum. Posting isn't doing politics.

But giving material support to a candidate is. I hope you all will help those of us in D.C. have our own Zohran Mamdani moment by donating to Janeese Lewis George’s freshly announced candidacy for mayor […]

Six days ago Rose Lavelle wins the #nwsl Cup. Today she assists the #uswnt on a goal in the opening 90 seconds of the match. Tireless.

Haven't run into too many fans of If Books Could Kill on mastodon yet. But wanted to point out that if the last episode about Sapiens leaves you wanting a book like Sapiens, but is actually accurate to the history of the world, I would really recommend David Graeber and David Wengrow’s The Dawn […]

Spirit becoming the the 90s Bills of #nwsl and I don't like it.

Both of these defenses deserve overtime for great shifts in this game. But you cannot deny Rose Lavelle rose to the moment when it actually came. #nwsl

Hersfedlt should have been pulled sooner. That goal wasn't totally her fault, but if she was 100%, she probably intercepts that pass. #nwsl

About half way through M.L. Wang’s Blood Over Brighthaven and while this is a bit more tropey than what I usually go for, I do enjoy how much the main character is propagandized and how that leads her to say and think some truly bigoted things. I don’t think most authors have the guts to make […]

Finalized my comps for my query letter on my current manuscript. Beta reader feedback digested and acted on, query locked, now working on the one page summary (my least favorite part).

Any other fans of Buehlman, Stewart or Mieville out there? #writingcommunity #amWriting

Watched the new Deathstalker film last night and man was that fun. Special effects that range from the type of uncanny weirdness you saw in like Willow to good old fashioned Harryhausen stop motion skeletons. Self aware film that actually looked like everyone involved in making it was having a […]

A suspicious pitch from a freelancer led editor Nicholas Hune-Brown to dig into their past work. By the end, four publications, including The Guardian and Dwell, had removed articles from their sites.
