i had a podcast interview request from the BBC today (big nope). the interviewer, a woman, told me it was important to hear from "both sides". that's their attitude to everything now, from trans lives to mental health and everything in between. it's bad faith delulu world all the way down

I tore through these T. kingfisher novellas this weekend, which made me envy the local horror book cart proprietor even more. People can just do that, sell books and also write??

Now I'm thinking our public media staff band should do covers of BJ Leiderman music, but also original pub media punk songs sunk in DIY aesthetic and anti-estabishment rage

A photo from the perspective of someone standing while playing electric bass and looking down slightly, in frame is a couch and coffee table living room set up with a laptop open to BassBuzz lessons sitting on the coffee table next to a tuner/metronome, a large bass amp sitting on the floor to the left of the table between the table and couch, and a black and white cat curled up on a pillow on the couch being the best boy

If I could sum up my experience of organizations: Most failures are the fault of the system not an individual but it is impossible to criticize the system without that being weaponized by the people who built it against the people trying to humanely operate it.

This is probably one of the better things I've done for myself since entering burnout and deciding working full time and grad school were great ideas while dealing with The World and moving and my aging parents and all of it

Like I would love to even be able to just walk around my neighborhood but I live just over the city line off Sherron and people love to speed over there and crash their cars into our yard, and there's no sidewalks, so I'd be actively tempting fate

Hey Triangle! Join me and my colleagues as we celebrate @wunc.org’s 50th anniversary at the American Tobacco Campus. You can even gawk at me as I’m on the air (no silly faces, please).
A selfie of Bradley George wearing glasses and a black WUNC 91.5 t-shirt with a matching lanyard, standing in a radio studio with a desk, keyboard, and computer monitor in the background.A white A-frame sign standing outside against a brick wall and multi-pane windows. The sign features the WUNC logo, a "50" anniversary graphic, a circular photo of Bradley George, and the text "ON AIR WITH BRADLEY GEORGE".

66% through the course! 🎸
A screenshot of the "Beginner to Badass" course for electric bass that reads: "Most Non-Heinous, Whitney! Alright - I know that thoery blast was a doozy. There's lots more review coming your way - just keep showing up and having fun with it. This next module is full of killer songs and almost no theory." There is then a row of tiles, one is a thumbnail of a video with an orange button that says "resume," the next is a progress bar that says "66% of Course Completed," the next is an Achievements tab with a skeumorphic pin-back button, the next is a + in a box that says Course Extras, and then there is a Bookmarks tab.
