One of the high points of last weekend was bonding with a fella from Baltimore over our shared love of Angela Bassett in STRANGE DAYS… never would’ve seen that coming but damn, what a wonderful moment

For Throwback Thursday, here's me as a 24-year old bear on the back patio of the Lone Star in San Francisco with my friend Adam Mars-Jones; you might know him as the author of BOX HILL, which was adapted into a movie called PILLION.

She also could tell a fuckin story
When the 1974 recording of the song reached number one on the country charts, Elvis Presley indicated that he wanted to record the song.
Parton was interested until Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker, told her that it was standard procedure for the songwriter to sign over half of the publishing rights to any song Elvis recorded.
[28] Parton refused. She recalls:
I said, 'I'm really sorry,' and I cried all night. I mean, it was like the worst thing. You know, it's like, Oh, my God... Elvis Presley.' And other people were saying, 'You're nuts. It's Elvis Presley!'...I said, 'I can't do that.
Something in my heart says, 'Don't do that. And I just didn't do it... He would have killed it. But anyway, so he didn't. Then when Whitney [Houston's version] came out, I made enough money to buy Graceland. 29]

Watching COOL HAND LUKE tonight and I don’t get it at all. Was this what people watched before it was easy to find gay porn? I’m in awe of George Kennedy - he won an Academy Award for delivering lines like “They don’t know whether to smile, spit, or swallow” with a straight face 🧐

It’s been a rough five weeks - only one night with AC and one with a stick fan. Hard to see how summer hiking is going to be viable in the Pyrenees going forward - the infrastructure just isn’t there to make it comfortable

I honestly don’t mind traveling to “hot countries” as they’re inevitably well equipped to make it comfortable when it’s hot… but France during a heatwave is borderline intolerable. I’d rather be in Bangkok than the Pyrenees even if outdoors temperatures are the same… this hotel room is stifling, grr

I’m in the middle of Tour de France country right now and yup, the pleasure and fraternity are palpable. It’s right not to make as much money as possible from something that brings so much joy to so many people. Why destroy value for millions to enrich a few?

For me, the hardest trail I’ve ever done is the Vivian Creek trail up Mount Gorgonio near LA. That’s 29.5 km with 1650 m of elevation gain. Today’s hike was 25 km with 1850 m of elevation gain. I’m kinda exhausted.

Yet another whirlwind visit to London in the books: visited my Dad, had Sunday lunch with two old friends, enjoyed a £1.24 about-to-expire sandwich from Tesco, saw GOODBYE, DRAGON INN, had a pint with another old friend, packed my bags, and headed for the airport

In a surreal turn of events, one of my favorite musicians of all time, @maxtundra.com, has remixed a song by my band Gemma. It came out amazingly, and I felt compelled to create a music video for it (learning TouchDesigner along the way). Please check it out! youtu.be/SDCCwS_7S-E?...

sure, British Airways, I'm definitely interested in paying $132 for 30" seat pitch (less than Southwest!), no lounge access, and no fast-track security (I'm flying out of London City Airport where those things don't exist)
A screen capture from ba.com - British Airways is offering me a business class upgrade for £98.40, promising fast-track through security and access to an airport lounge at an airport where those things don't exist as well as a generous 30 inch seat pitch (less then Southwest here in the USA)

Zipline Brewing was going to host a political event for Pete Ricketts and Ted Cruz on Friday. The staff made noise and promised to quit or skip, so the owners just fired everyone and closed shop. If you miss the wonderful beers of Zipline in the coming weeks and months, you have Ted Cruz to thank.
Screenshot of Ig story from Zipline staffer. Text reads "I am aware of what's happening at Zipline tomorrow and I do not support it in any way, shape, or form. Neither does anyone that works at Zipline.
When AKRS bought the brewery, the founders of Zipline essentially cashed out and bolted, leaving everyone left to clean up the mess. Kevin Clark is going to run this place into the ground spouting his facsist beliefs.
The brewers, packagers, taptenders, and managers are some of the most incredible people I've ever met and they deserve so much more than this."Screenshot of story from later in the day. Text reads "For anyone who's like "what is she talking about "
The brewery my husband worked at was bought a couple years back by a Nebraska Ag company so they could expand their brewing. Turns out they're were terrible people (shock!) and over the past 3 years, they've progressively dug the brewery into the ground.
Today, they walked in and truly RANDOMLY
fired
everyone and shut down the brewery.
The biggest brewery in Nebraska with some of the finest brewers in the state, if not region.
Around 20 people now without work. Out of the blue. Very cool."

These guys know their business, sure, but they've been tasked with the impossible. Paddington 2 scans as if Shakespeare and Moliere both rose from their graves and banged out one last triumph together. Fool's errand to go near a franchise after such work. And no, I'm not being hyperbolic.

After a lifetime of dismissively rolling my eyes at accusations of pedophilia, I finally get it now, I think. It’s actually about the freedom to abuse young women and to prevent them from having abortions so they remain under your control. It’s about domination and perpetuating patriarchy…

Judging by all the dance parties I’ve attended this year in Sydney, the musical trend of 2026 is simply speeding up old songs and adding louder drums. It’s unnecessary, tedious, and ruins the flow in general. Not a fan.
