At Mac deMarco in Bristol with the kids. It’s a cool venue.
They made me get here before doors, and ran to the front as soon as they opened.
It’s like…..being a teen again

Awesome album. Psyched to see it on tape!
This Friday, Fiadh will be releasing tapes “I,” the debut release from Irish atmospheric black metal project Ossarian.
In the words of @transmissionsftd.bsky.social who introduced us to this album, I is “a rugged, harsh exploration of the power of nature, isolation and spiritual healing.”

A nice milestone. Passing a total of 5 million views on the channel since I started it.
Shout out to everyone who was here from the early days and is still with me.
A bittersweet chart, but it is what it is. Recent action is looking encouraging

This is such a lovely comment to wake up to, on a sad day, so I’ve appreciated it much more.

This did cheer me to receive, adding a little colour to my bleakness.
I appreciate the note
I don’t want to maudlin post to much here, but I do feel horrible. Just need tomorrow to be over.

i have to say, this has really broken me
Soooo my wife has been really ill for a while, and we’re struggling to cope with the demands of our new dog - so we’re going to have to rehome her. It’s all such a horrible feeling.
Anticipating how to tell our daughter before I take her back to the breeder on Wednesday is devastating me.

Relatedly, probably no DS Sunday tomorrow, as I’m really not ready and won’t have time or headspace to make it all. So, there’s a little hamstring for November numbers for a start
October may have blipped past, but seems I did make it count.
Channel is doing good. Let’s see if I can keep this going all the way to the end of the year. Got some big work things that might get in the way tho. And…hmmm…life has some tiring challenges.
BUT happy I have some stats to show for it
