Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I see so many memes about how mad sbux baristas get when you don't tip them and I' being so serious when I say I work at an entire district and no one thinks about the tips at all we all get like $20 a week each 021

Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Keep thinking of ways I can share these things before any of them are actually done and I think having patience for myself is key. But im in a monologue mood lately. Will probably write a longer blog on the astertracks blogspot soon, at least. 010
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I've spent most of the end of the last year/all of this year working on a handful of different fiction projects and, more recently, """lyrics""" which I used to do in hs but I finally feel like I'm getting better at. 110
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I feel like I've become a better writter this year. Writing about music on an occasional, when I'm asked/when I'm inspired basis helped me become a lot better i think. 120

Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I cannot imagine being on AEW at all right now but I cannot imagine being a Death Rider harder. To have to do that first walk without him, and every one after. 020
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mox always talks about doing everything with purpose, and for the past few days with Pac being gone I keep asking myself "why?" For everything. Its very clear that, beyond a character either portrayed, they both had that spirit. 130
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 02/10/2026We got into AEW right when Pac returned. The found family, DIY, biker stuff was what I always sort of pictured wrestling to be and I think I grew to understand the sport and the ethos by watching them specifically. 130

Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Really nice waking up and seeing how loved Pac was by the community around him. Without him we're in a changed world, but we are still here. 000

Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Artists will get bigger if you invest in them? Ykno? Some of them have head starts, but not all of them. 021
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 19/09/2026But also vet that stuff. Some of them are plants, some of them were outed as abusers a decade ago and trying to obscure it. I think what gets lost is most of them probably are not. 120
Claudia Aster @astersokay.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Just listen to stuff. The band you never heard of opening for your favorite? Have music out. The artist you assume is a plant cause they have a festival slot? Look it up, check yourself, try it out anyway. That feature you like but never heard their real music? Well guess what? 120

Reposted by Claudia Astermadeline! @mads.haus · 06/09/2026both Goodbye, Lara and Sparks of Tomorrow are, in part, stories of queer romance broken apart by circumstance, societal pressure, or family obligation. the shows hinge on the relationships between Mari and Lara, as well as Yosuke and Seiroku, and the stakes to them. 1133
Reposted by Claudia Asterp @ptelea.gay · 06/09/2026Yes, it’s gay, but what if the trauma from your last hetero relationship that killed you caused the light in your heart to become a blade with ravenous fangs that would only return to being a light if it devoured the soul of the woman you loved? Have you considered that? 121
