Heavy Metal Hippie @heavymetalhippie.bsky.social · 13/10/2026I've always loved that, when I see Mastodon, I get to see them in their hometown. I'm guessing that next week's show (with Alcest and Deafheaven) will be pretty emotional. 040

Heavy Metal Hippie @heavymetalhippie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have said, pretty much since I started teaching at UGA, that if I was made University President for a day and was able to implement one unrevockable policy, it would be the complete disbandment of the Greek system. The two-tier social structure at universities is so corrosive to campus culture. 070
