I'm chatty because I had a dental procedure today, so my OCD is going all Code RED on me. So, yeah, I'm gonna make a thread about learning drums. Let's go.
D.A.R.E. had it all wrong. GarageBand is the real gateway drug.
Anyway, apparently I’m learning drums now.

Elizabeth makes the only Thanksgiving dinner I’ve ever even remotely enjoyed. This may not sound like the glowing review that it is, but that meal is working on hard mode, and I barely like food to begin with.
Ok. Tell me your Thanksgiving dinner complaints and I’ll tell you how to fix them.
Culinary questions only. If you ask about your racist uncle, the only answer I’ve got is more rat poison.

I feel about Thanksgiving like I feel about platformers: extreme dread.
Silksong is fun though, so maybe.

the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix

Anyway this entire thread is actually about how Emmylou Harris released the best album of her life in the 90s and I need, like, Natalie Merchant and Alanis Morrisette to up their fucking game.

To be clear, I’m not older than you think. I was just a weird 15 year old.
The 15 year old in my head right now is just chanting “robert plant robert plaNT ROBert PlanT??”
Like, I kinda try not to fan out about artists too much, but also I led my first magical ritual to a copy of IV, you know?

Next we’ll find out that men stopped being gay in the mid-80s.
Anti-LGBTQ groups are churning out surveys claiming fewer kids are out as trans. Most of the methods are trash, but let’s imagine for a moment it was true.
Honest question: would you? Few people will ever have a fraction of the courage it takes to be a teenage trans girl today in Trump’s America.

I woke up this Halloween morning to Florence + the Machine’s new record, “Everybody Scream,” in which Florence Welsh gets back to the business of being a maximalist weirdo after having taken a giant nap in 2022 with “Dance Fever.”

Some people’s love language is gifts, some want acts of service… our marriage is grounded in comic timing, and recognizing a set up when you see one.
Out of context marriage:
Me: Are you about to throw me under the bus?

I’ve been in a games mood lately. This was a lot of fun. Simple graphics that are nevertheless lovely, and the game teaches itself to the player very well in the first few puzzles. Great design, all around.
