My neighbor is learning to play the guitar. Outside. With an amp. He's getting pretty good at "Wish You Were Here." Unfortunately, he thinks the lyrics that go with it actually belong to "I Believe I Can Fly."
Too close to the sun, friend.

I just had a conversation about Twin Peaks with a friend who had it mixed up with Highway to Heaven and somewhere, David Lynch has a really comical look on his face.

I'm at the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education! Today's all day session is "Intersectional Interventions: Supporting Queer & Trans Students of Color."
The moderator made a joke about how everyone in Student Services is bisexual and I feel both called out and validated!

I just finished the prologue of a fresh draft of a book I had given up on. Feels like this might be the one. Feels like it's alive.

If you're the person who was in a red and black tracksuit, running(?) up 4th Ave in Everett, while also trying to disentangle yourself from the string of an extraordinarily large longbow... are you okay?

Some guy just started up a chainsaw outside my building at 11:00 at night on a Tuesday.

I just promised @andthentheresanne.bsky.social that if Portland sends Timber Joey to the next White House press conference to show Musk how it's done, I will buy both of us a new Timbers jersey and wear one to Lumen Field. Sounders til I die, but we live in strange times.

Remember when Trump said that if voting wasn't so hard for so many Americans, Republicans would never win another election? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I can't enjoy wrestling anymore. My faves are off AEW and I won't watch WWE, even for Jade Cargill. Not after McMahon bought a cabinet position, w/current WWE leadership literally in the hearing with her. I know indies exist, but the whole concept is ruined for me. Might as well call it WrestleGate

Slightly buried the lede but: if you're a queer couple and you want to get married ASAP in a state with strong protections before Obergefell inevitably gets overturned by fascists I will do an officiate for you for free (if you drop by the shop when I'm here just call/email ahead to make sure I am).
Would you like to get married at a cozy comic book shop? This is not a joke or Valentine's Day meme Wing actually has a level in cleric and can officiate marriages legally. Completely free for queer couples who wanna get paperwork done and have a simple thing. Email us if you want something more.

So as I'm walking toward my office in the Washington fog, there's a single crow providing vocal accompaniment to someone slowly plucking a low note on a guitar. I don't know if they're doing Twin Peaks on purpose, but it's working.

If you're looking for the helpers, know that at least some public institutions, such as the college where I work, are holding training sessions for things like trauma-informed service and mental health first aid. There are good people who really are working very hard to provide safety and support.

If you're a guy who's now 35ish, and in 2001 you were the kid who used to crap in the washing machine and patrol around with a bat while chanting "Mama said knock you out" at the Mayfair apartments in Virginia Beach, you just came up in conversation and we are desperate to know how you turned out.

This crisis has been overwhelming in so many ways, esp for our toddler. Our family is so grateful for the assistance.
I try to keep my child and their life offline as much as I can, to protect their privacy and to keep them safe, but this emergency (and asking for help) requires full disclosure.

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.
