I think it’s funny our friend even had to ask us if we wanted to see his band play a show in a swimming pool. Dude, just send us the address 😆 (MIDS - the band - Columbia, SC)

So, this acorn just fell out of my hair. No idea how long it was in there. Welcome to my cool, totally normal Bluesky feed run by a totally normal cool person.
An acorn sits in the palm of my hand. This is completely normal and not weird at all - the definition of ultimate coolness, beauty, and intrigue.

I see someone at Apple Maps is familiar with the SC State House.
A screenshot from Apple Maps shows the SC State House labeled Confederate Solder Monument, which sounds about white.

If anyone’s looking for a fun “spooky season” read, I’m really enjoying this one. Virgin Suicides meets The Crucible - it’s so good.
A book cover displays the title “The Hounding” by Xenobe Purvis in a wavy distorted font. Three hound dogs, a black and white, solid black, and gold and white are pictured roaming the English countryside.

Look, I know it’s 2025 & vinyl, tapes, & now CDs are/ have been back in style for a bit, but in case you still aren’t investing in “hard copies” of your music. DO IT!!! I’ve listened to this album digitally multiple times. Finally listening on vinyl, and no, I can’t prove it, but IT HITS DIFFERENT

If you see this, quote post a sunset

Botany Bay, Edisto Island, SC
A “skeleton” tree stands at the edge of the “boneyard” a coastal landscape full of both upright and downed skeleton trees at Botany Bay on the coast of Edisto Island. The sun sets on a grey, foggy day.

Think I got the last copy of this in town (at least in a locally owned shop - could maybe find it at Target or B&N - but didn’t try.)

Awesome day eating a year’s worth of calories at the SC State Fair. Gonna go buy that Geese album next.

When you’re old and your watch calls you out for missing “curfew.”
An LED watch face reads: 11:38 Good evening! The watch is telling me I should be in bed already. What the fuck am I doing? I’m not even at home.

Obsessed with the new Keith Haring show at the Columbia Museum of Art. We had an amazing time at last night’s preview party.
A woman in a long floral skirt and white doc martens strolls past vibrant Keith Haring paintings featuring bold angular line drawings of a person crawling, a dog, an eagle, and a monster-like cartoon face. A vibrant Keith Haring tryptic shows bright pink people dancing in a bright blue background with text that reads jeans, shits, and shoes for people. Four people take in the work “Apocalypse” - a collaboration between the artist Keith Haring and writer William S. Burroughs A woman with blonde hair wearing a black top, black plaid mini skirt, black tights, and chunky black shoes looks at a large black and white comic painting by Keith Haring that portrays an interaction between a man and a dogs through several story blocks.

The other night someone on here questioned whether Alabama “White” sauce was actually white. Here’s a pic of some. We aren’t eating BBQ, but using it as a dip for fried okra.

What side of town are you on? The NuLu neighborhood is very cool. I HIGHLY recommend this Bourbon tasting room (I think it’s called Taste) if y’all are into that. The owners are the MOST FUN. Sit at the bar! (They also have fantastic wine if you’d rather drink that.)
The entrance to Taste Fine Bourbons in Louisville, KY. Iron wrought chairs and a small iron wrought table sit outside in front of the shop window. The tile entrance way features the word Taste.

We left the BBQ place to ride bikes on what started out as a very confusing trail, but we figured it out and found a secret brewery (probably not secret to locals, but secret to us since we had no idea it was here til we rolled up on it.) what a perfect Sunday! #STTFlotownSC

But seriously, we had a great hike today at Kings Mountain State Park. And we did have hot chicken afterwards.

Take a 9 mile hike. Eat a hot chicken sandwich. Live your best fucking life!

Sunday paddle views - These were on the open lake. We also took a 2.7 mile “trail” through a cypress-tupelo swamp.
Cypress trees in the distance across a lake - a blue sky streaked with thin white clouds is reflected in the glass like water The tip of a pink kayak can be seen gliding through a pristine glassy lake that perfectly reflects a blue sky streaked with white clouds.
