mainly here to talk about fan music videos. If I randomly talk about weather/climate: I have a PhD in atmospheric science and worked as a researcher for 15 years. Also fuck terfs and free Palestine. But I'm really here to talk about fan music videos.

youtube loves to show me videos of Black people approving of something a white person has done, usually related to food, music, or dance. the videos are genenerally made by Black people and are all in good fun, nothing wrong with them, but the algo goes so hard for them in a way that makes me go hmm

I went to my city's queer indy bookshop in search of Metal From Heaven, The Spear Cuts Through Water, and Rakesfall. They didn't have any of them! But they did have S.L. Huang's Burning Roses and the Monk & Robot series, so it wasn't a total loss

I am so curious how Mamdani's free childcare pledge will work out. Not only does it mean spending a lot of money, it also means having a lot more childcare providers -- both in terms of workers and in terms of physical space.

Most people understand that recorded music developed out of pasta. Like eg tape was first influenced by pappardelle (reel-to-reel) and later fettuccine (cassette) or records took the idea of a round shape with grooves from rigatoni and instead of sauces, you put music on them, which is like a sauce.

my cousin posted a photo of her teenage daughter on social media and said daughter has skinny eyebrows, so I guess the 2000s really are back

Friends who have watched Succession: we are about halfway through season 3 and it is a bummer. So many scenes of people aggressively talking business at each other, so little…anything else. Until Ken’s birthday party, which was its own different sort of bummer. Does it change/get better in S4?

I'm listening to an Elton John playlist. I've listened to his early '70s stuff plenty but I'm amused by the number of "mom's car" songs I'm hearing -- pop and soft rock from the 1980s and early '90s that I associate with riding in the car but couldn't tell you what they're called or who they're by

rewatched Everything Everywhere All at Once and just wanted to mention that this movie fucking rules. I think it's actually my favourite movie. There is no other movie in the world like it, much as I wish there were 100 more that could do all the things this one does
