Life has been a rough slog lately, but tonight I got to see and hear Roddy Bottum read from his new memoir, which was truly a joy. Also these photos are proof that we’re basically a couple now. You heard it here first! 😆

My last work day of 2025 and I really had to earn every fucking second of my weekend. Be incredibly gracious, thankful and humble to service workers tomorrow or your New Year will be eternally cursed. ✨✨✨✨✨

This is such a standard heel-turn for anyone in the entertainment industry whose career is taking that it’s almost embarrassing to read. What a fucking waste of what was once talent.

This was heartbreaking and beautiful. I pretty much sobbed from halfway through the film until the end, but it was worth it. Fascinating, surprising, cathartic and beautifully done.

No real surprises here but I was like “Who the hell is Lily Nova” but then realized they are the creator of the two binaural beats albums I’ve been using as part of several calming/meditation rituals to manage my anxiety and grief. So thanks, Lils!!

This is 95% of a song I wrote called “Love In The 90s.” It’s about a multipart affair I had with a guy in New York that was off and on for a few years during which he wasn’t always single. Bc Bsky only allows 3 min videos it cuts off suddenly. Just like my relationship with that guy! 🤪

Apropos of my post yesterday, here is the treasured Polaroid from the time I met Tanya Donelly at the last day of tl doomed music dot com job. After my friend interviewed her we sat and chatted about being in bands and touring and she talked to me like I was a peer. Total life making moment. 💗💗💗

It’s rare that a movie makes me furious for the time spent watching it, but what a giant fucking waste of time Barbarian was, holy crap. How on earth was this movie so hyped? It was laughably bad that I can’t believe the same writer/director made Weapons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Absolute trash.

Saw @sleater-kinney.bsky.social for thr 30th time tonight and it was as thrilling, incendiary, joyous and vital as the first time I saw them back in 1995. Carrie mentioned hoping to provide catharsis and, after losing my mother just 46 days ago, it was exactly as cathartic as I needed. Grateful.

A) This video will make it seem like I only wear one outfit when I play guitar, but it’s just a default of pajamas 😅 B) Does this sound like it’s from a known song? It felt familiar as soon as I played it but I can’t say from where. But I like it.

It looks like they saw the tragicomic ‘Wonder Woman: Who’s Afraid of Diana Prince’ TV special and said “Oh this isn’t NEARLY campy enough!” 🤣

Watched this brilliant film last night after hearing about it super recently and eas thoroughly captivated and pleasnatly surprised given the lurid movie poster. Clearly an influence on many filmmakers though critically reviled at the time. The visual and color saturation are mesmerizing.

A movie poster of the 1960 film Peeping Tom.

Me to my mom’s friend who is helping clean out her apartment after I created a giant pile of hangers from folding all of her clothes: “I could put this in the corner of a museum with a title card that reads Impermanence, multi-media sculpture, 2025’ and people would be like ‘Mmm…powerful.’” 😆

The fact that I was made to go through the grueling gauntlet of coming out of the closet when my f@ggotry was clearly on display at all times was frankly just rude. I should’ve been able to show up one day with a boyfriend and everyone would be like “Duh, of course.”

Okay, I was totally not a child art prodigy but I was a theater kid! And technically a Shakespearean actor 🤣 This is a watercolor of me as Macduff’s son in a local production of Macbeth when I was a tween. I was coached by legit actor Jim Moody on how to fall and die without knee injury 🗡️

Snapped this in London in 2017 and I frequently think about “He KICKE my BUMP and KILLED our BABY.” It’s fun to say out loud and mimic the emphasis.

Now that I’m not on any other social media but Buhsky, a friend was saying the other day they missed the makeup posts I sometimes did on IG, so here was yesterday’s look. The overall concept from head to toe was “lots of colors all at once.”

Not in any way a real for real artist line yourself, but when I was drawing a ton during lockdown I snapped this one. (It’s also just an accurate depiction of me about to eat anything.)

Moving to a new apartment tomorrow so here’s a video of me doing an impromptu acoustic rendition of “More” at my first place in Portland in 2021. Featuring hair (RIP) and me flubbing the entirely easy ending 🤪

A video from last year of me working on a song called “Poor James.” My first thought was that it’s a Magic Lasso song for sure, but it could find its way to @exbfband.bsky.social instead 🤔🤓🎸🥁🎹🎤✨

I’ve been missing playing drums a ton lately. Very excited to reunite with @exbfband.bsky.social in May so I can drum to my heart’s content with people I love. In the meantime here’s some fave photos of me drumming throughout the years that don’t look like I’m motionless and staring at my snare 😆

I played A show back in 2017 with just me and my guitar. It was fun and very humbling after being in bands a lot and almost always behind a drum kit. It also ended up being the first date of a long term couple, so obviously Magic Lasso brings people together.

I was talking to a coworker the other day about my treasured Steve Keene paintings of four Sleater-Kinney album covers (SK on SK!) I got back in 2006. I had assumed they’d be album cover size-ish and they turned out to be huge and all four only cost me $75!! 🤯

The original cover art is already so campy and fabulous and all of the guys locked in the Bananas’ embrace are their gay backup dancer besties, including famous choreographer Bruno Tonioli!
