@2River.bsky.social It looks like issue 18.3 is missing on your site? At least the archive page links are 404. Thanks!

I'm tired of people who created an account here, posted a few times, then abandoned it, and now crap on Bluesky for its lack of engagement. I'm so not here to listen to their attempts to justify their own (lack of) agency and self-serving "logic."

I love #HayleyWilliams. She titled her recent album “Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party,” and now her new project is... Power Snatch. Time for a listography of favorite double- and triple-entendre band names.→ variety.com/2026/music/n... || #music

She’s right about everything…except the hope that anyone will stand up or that any change is coming except for the worse. This is beyond (literal) trigger warnings. And beyond hope. → [He was EXECUTED - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDETj4Nppsk) #pretti #cowardICE

Have to admit, some of that #AI #nostalgia bait---“The late John Hughes revisits the sets of his iconic 80's movies” and “Welcome back to senior year 1988”---breaks my heart a little. A lot.

Given Hyden's routine mockery of Bluesky on the already sorely-missed Indiecast, I probably shouldn't promote this to all of us rife with "blueskyness" -- but it's too good not to recommend!

“He don’t know it’s anything he can’t know,” the old man said. “That’s his trouble. He thinks if it’s something he can’t know then somebody smarter than him can tell him about it and he can know it just the same. And if you were to go there the first thing he would do would be to test your head and

RIP: Tom Stoppard. My commonplace books are rife with bits of Stoppard's plays I've collected over the years, but the simple bit I keep returning to most of late is from _Jumpers_, Dottie quoting Archie, her psychiatrist: It’s not the voting that’s democracy, it’s the counting #rip #tom-stoppard

How is Dora Jar not more widely acclaimed (by those who appreciate indie pop at least)? So good...and apparently I literally just missed her in concert here! Blurgh. → www.dorajar.world

The problem with Heather McHugh's #poetry is every time I read it, I want to copy *every* poem to my #commonplace book.

Is there an app that will automatically add "(in my opinion)" to every declarative statement I type anywhere in public? Or my new favorite diminutive parenthetical, (imo obvs)?

I am enswooned by @malaika-h.bsky.social's new site, featuring a heatmap-with-linked-flyout-overleaf-thingamajig of her astounding number of published #crossword puzzles (562 at the moment! But probably 575 by the time I press publish in a minute or two).

2025 (so far) section of a heatmap with colors indicating presence---and number/size---of anything published that day. More than half of the days show something published.

I can't believe I hadn't heard that Martha SIlano passed (on May 4). RIP. A wonderful #poet gone far too early. → marthasilano.net || #rip #poetry #poem
