you shouldn’t learn about bands from shady TikTok manipulation, you should learn about bands by hanging out with a girl you like but are also extremely afraid of

I had a weekend job at a transfer station — where garbage trucks drop off garbage before it goes to the landfill — salvaging usable stuff from it to sell at a reuse-based thrift store.

Always loved this version of the song. Dolly’s voice and laughter in it radiate such warmth, the feeling like you’ve been welcomed into something. youtu.be/oyRqMQdg1WU?...

Opinion | Brad Pitt’s ‘back off the wagon’ revelations come with some important cautions
Yes, it is possible for some people to drink in moderation after identifying as an alcoholic and maintaining sobriety. But in Pitt’s case, there are some important concerns worth considering.

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

Jimmy Carter and an alien on opposite corners of a page with fragments of articles about UFOs littered around including "Alien contamination alert!", "Do unseen powers direct our lives", "the riddle of the flying saucers", "was there ever a spaceman at the pentagon", "space people walk among us" and "a plague of aliens".

I see there’s a Jenny Holzer account on here but what I really need is a resurrection of the Jenny Holzer, Mom Twitter account.
Tweets from the JennyHolzerMom Twitter account that say “anarchy begins at home but it doesn’t begin at this home”, “the universe existed before the twilight movies and it will continue to exist after them” and “make people hear you but not while you’re eating” in all caps
