A mess cosplaying as a functional adult. (any/all)
There is an hour left in the work day, but my brain just turned off after that last task. So I will be spending the next hour scrolling TikTok and occasionally jostling my mouse.

There is a lot happening now, but The Wire is an amazing magazine covering avant guard and forward thinking music. Losing it would be a huge blow to music as an art form.
An urgent message from The Wire magazine
Running an independent music magazine is becoming increasingly difficult. We need your support

Read about Schumer turning yellow and wonder if I need to call my senators. Check to see both have already declared a full throated “Hell no!” on the CR.
This is one of those times where I love this state.

Life: you know that thing you want to do? Here are people teaching a class on how to do that exact thing. Except when the class is taught you’re going to be so depressed that you have no spoons to take the class. Then you’re going to feel like a looser for never doing the thing you wanted to do.
