My therapist told me, “when you’re speaking in a group, maybe mind who your audience is, so that you can gauge if they have an interest in what you’re talking about.” Yes, I know, but I have yet to be in a social situation where bringing up Roman concrete would ever be suitable. Alas, I yearn

Never mind that the only impetus I had for unpacking my suitcase from following Mountain Goats tour 5 months ago was starting to prep for yet another Mountain Goats tour. But, please mind the trinkets!!!! (Crochet possum fabrication for Fillmore will begin shortly.) @themountaingoats.bsky.social
A whole buncha mountain goats trinkets. Bracelets that read “yes sir, that’s me, I’m him, “see America right” “firearms, flash drives” and “two on point, two on sentry,” a possum sticker that says “safe in the spots where the light can’t reach,” two buttons that read respectively “blessed are the tapers” and “almost always something happening in Ohio.” And a wristband from Bell’s in Kalamazoo.

Housesitting and need a pastime? Watch 6 hours of Beatles films. 6 hours of Beatles films is an acceptable pastime. Don’t even do a lil craft while you watch them even though you’ve seen them all 200 times. Rewind multiple times. You will certainly not regret watching 6 hours of Beatles films.

Since I picked up my new-to-me John Lennon guitar, I’ve been playing ‘til my fingers bleed. I get a little tired of singing to an empty room, so I revamped my SoundCloud. Here’s one of a couple George Harrison songs I banged out last night. on.soundcloud.com/WW8FKaeKQQtv...

I’m giving a guitar lesson for money tonight and I think that it’s genuinely remarkable that someone would want to take my advice about playing the guitar. Epitome of “this is the way you’re ‘spose to do it but this is how I do it”

@themountaingoats.bsky.social sorry to miss this tour but a museum curator’s salary only supports so much galavanting. I heard someone say recently “you can't do what you like if you can't get what you need.” hope you and yours enjoy your little crochet possum friend, see you at the Fillmore ❤️

No, God will not kill you for running a half-empty dishwasher. This is a common worry, but it is not a sin.
Why It Is Not a Sin
• Not in the Bible: God's laws do not mention dishwashers or how full they must be.

There’s a laundry list of reasons why I got divorced. But I’d be lying if one of them wasn’t bc he told me I wasn’t ~allowed~ to go to tmg shows or even listen anymore. When Getting Into Knives came out I listened to it under the covers real low with one earbud in pretending to be asleep

This is a silly craft but unfortunately I’ve become obsessed with gluing little beads to canvas. They are sparkly and make a nice lil “pop” when you put ‘em down. I don’t think anyone was yearning for me to make The Great Wave glitzy, in fact I’m behind on other gifts. Alas, I crave the glimmer

I wrote my thesis on Athena as a narratalogical device in the homecoming books of the Odyssey. Folks who know me are waiting with bated breath for my take on the movie. Guys, I’m not gonna go watch the movie. I’m simply not gonna do it. And I think that’s actually kind of my take in and of itself,

The bit about cacao reminded me of this Spring’s tour, during which I found a stockpile of Uncle Al’s Banana Planks, about which you and I had a Bluesky chat a couple of years ago. Every time I crossed paths with you I thought “that man would probably like a plank” but I was too bashful to offer.
