Michael Knowles vs 25 LGBTQ+ folks, but it's a cage match and they don't pull me off of him until after I've made soup of his entire head.

My favorite thing to do right now while watching my beloved Jets hockey games is to shorten Winnipeg and turn it into a verb and say something like "The 'Cane's are beggin' for a 'Peggin' tonight."

coworker (about the trans EOs): sometimes I just want to shut it out and live in my little safe zone
me (choosing violence): I don’t really have that luxury

hey cis people, DON’T DO THIS

All I can seem to do today is disassociate. I've had a stress headache for what feels like a month. REALLY not doing well.

The Elon soylute is still the big thing I'm seeing everyone talk about online while Trump just repealed Affirmative Action and ICE is deporting people in every major city Every day it's new horrors and we're all exausted 3 days in. Don't get hung up arguing the talking points of bad actors.

My friend Dan used to run a record label in Denver that put out a bunch of great documents from a scene that was brimming with creativity and vibrancy. He's digitizing those documents.

This one is a long-time favorite by some of my favorite people. Wonderful screamyemotional hardcore/posthardcore

I spent my afternoon helping my gf get her car running, then bought her dinner. I watched the Jets lose while eating food with my housemate and bestie. I told several people I love them and that they matter and that I love them.

That applies to you too oomphies. You're loved and you matter.

I've got a cold, and the stuffy nose makes me really want to talk like a Canadian. ESPECIALLY during Jets games.

I could be writing lyrics about my experiences as a queer woman in modern America, but instead I'm rewriting the national anthem of our northern neighbor to be "Oh Bananada, our home and native fruit."

I'm just here for the leftist infighting and queer discourse about issues we worked through 10-40 years ago.

Do you take old records off the shelf and sit and listen to them by yourself? Hi, I’m Bob Seger and I, too, suffer from social anxiety.

Got through 1 track, which was a hard one. It's called "Our brand could be your life," and it answers the questions "What would Braid sound like if Bob Weston played bass for them and they binge watched the Tom Petty doc before songwriting sessions?"
It's cold in Colorado today. Like 20 tonight. Gonna record some bass for the Betterselfs record and try to progress this thing forward a little bit. Rick 4001 >SVT>Mesa 2x15. That'll warm the basement up.

My girlfriend gave me a fucking time machine for my birthday.

It came in the form of 40 year old transformers comics, but it transported me straight back to being 4 and looking at pictures of robots dying on a mechanical planet.

I had carrot cake. I'm very happy and very loved.

Apple cinnamon roll shipped in from Piroshky Piroshky. The proper way to start your birthday.

Looking at my followers it's 95% people in the midwest, specifically Chicago, and 2% people in Denver, where I live.

Obviously, my self-promotion of local shows is gonna do GREAT on here.

Had band practice for the first time in 6 weeks last night. We've been looking for a bassist and working on a record and all our lives have been rough and busy, so no shade to my bandmates for that. Amazing how the release of playing with other people will literally change my mood

Bluesky seems cool, but I am not currently getting nearly as many wholesale equipment auction advertisements as I do on FB, and I think that's a downside. More Saws, guitars, antiques, and blacksmith closures please!
