[She/They] I'm a thirty-something Chicago freelance photog/photojournalist and classical musician with many pop culture opinions. I love film, video games, and TTRPGs with crunchy math. Would love to develop more local connections (and play board games).

Today and yesterday, I sang in a small choir where apparently there was a plague amongst the altos because I ended up being the ONLY ONE. Thank god I have a strong chest voice, but I'm exhausted.

I was so disappointed when I found out. But I'm also not shocked to hear he's being a pill. His schtick isn't particularly suited to this brand of silliness.

I'm so pissed that I have to skip a TM season, but between Matt Lucas being a big ole racist and Richard Ayoade writing a forward for Graham Linehan's book, it was a double nope

I'm not even making a "har har he's old" joke. I was 100% certain he had been dead for years, and I am SO unhappy to be wrong

Sometimes you get bogged down in the horribleness of everything, but then you see a piece of art like this and it stops you in your tracks. A human person painted this, and it's breathtaking. Humans can be pretty ok.

A safe and successful sex party can only exist with Clearly Defined Boundaries. And if any participant is feeling pressured to attend? It's NOT SAFE. Throw this whole cohort in the garbage. (Note: everything is better with clearly defined boundaries. EVERYTHING)

I shouldn't be allowed access to online shopping after 10pm. I can usually restrain myself, but late nights are when I'm most likely to get into a "can see myself really getting into small scale metalsmithing" mood

I was chatting with a fellow elder millennial nerd yesterday, and they were bemoaning the stereotype of the queer dnd player who plays with their polycule, has funky colored hair and pop culture tattoos, and is into renfaires and bdsm And I'm just like 🫢

Growing up in the DC area, we mostly knew NH politics as "those kooky folks up there."

It wasn't having to get reading glasses that made me feel elderly, it was the realization that they were way too weak and I needed to get stronger replacements that did it.

I live on one of the busiest bus lines in my city. Why in the HELL am I consistently stuck waiting for 30+ minutes for a bus just because it's a weekend? We desperately need transit reform.

This really isn't the point, but why is this video so desaturated? Like, I know that it's gloomy in Ireland, but they have color

Thank you for all your hard work. This publication has been an absolute gift, and I love having access to these scores. It balances out how aggressively I swear at Fanny's memory when I can't play them.

Rideshare music update: right after I buckled in, To Sir With Love started playing on the radio. I'm taking it as a sign that today will be a good day at work, because it's one of my favorite songs (from one of my favorite movies)

Rideshare music update: we got weird Christian rock, my friends. Lyrics include "with the power of the holy ghost, we're taking back what the enemy stole," and "we're storming the castles of hell." Yikes.

Since I had to work on my birthday, my bosses got everybody together to rowdily sing at me and make sure that my face got as red as possible. ❤️

Yeeted yet another person from my socials (and life) from the small town I grew up in. Almost nobody connects me to that place now, and that is a Good Thing. I kept a couple folks, but that's because they're extra cool.

One of my favorite things every election day is finding people gleefully live tweeting steve kornacki's every move. I get so much earnest and unironic joy from threads like this

As the PR for the new show putting money in the pockets of the shitty wizard lady heats up, just remember: Everything every person has been coached by PR to say is total bullshit and we can call it that. Will tap the sign again, and will do so many more times this fall: bsky.app/profile/mory...
