MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Firstly, you pass buskers in the subway every day, many of them are very skilled, but you pass them because you have places to be. The subway is for getting from A to B and that's pretty much it outside of a few outliers. It is the most normal thing to pass a busker by without looking twice. 010
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I don't think I'll ever get over seeing an article that was like "No one stopped to listen to Violinist who sold out Carnegie Hall in the subway." I need you to understand, this is exactly like saying "No one stopped to listen to Violinist who sold out Carnegie Hall on the highway." 110
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I got out of the 1st class early because we were also at an alternative location. It was nice because we stopped to get a slice of pizza and then ran into the classmate who takes the train who also got a slice. It turned out to be such a nice day! 010
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This was Monday and it turned out to not be bad. I have two classmates in my 1st class who are also in my 2nd class so we all traveled together, and a classmate in my 2nd who also takes the train home. Both ways I had guides to chat with and get me to my destination fairly quick. 110
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 03/10/2026The whole project is pretty cool. It's nice to be helping out a volunteer run organization get their media digitized. And a prime example of getting more out of an in-person program. The annoying commute is worth it. 000
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 03/10/2026More interesting was the portion of the show where they were taking phone calls. They would hang up on men who called in like "This is a lesbian talk show, we only talk to women." Also so many "Turn your radio down, we're getting double audio." "Oh! Sorry." 100
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I was listening in on a cassette tape I was digitizing for class and thinking "Why does the name of this lady they are talking about sound so familiar?" Turns out it was the homophobic orange juice woman who got pied in the face on TV. 100

MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Oh wait, I thought you were asking about the second half of my post! The doctor who I was referring to in the first half is a psychiatrist and it was during a "getting to know you" appointment. 110
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Yes, but it was an OBGYN who asked after I told her that at 34 I'd never had sex, and I did not want to in the future. If any doctor were to ask, I think it would be that kind. (Also, very cute bee!) 110
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I've only had one doctor come back with "Would you say you are asexual?" and that was a pleasant surprise. 010
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It's always awkward when a new doctor asks me about my romantic life/gender preference. I'm always like "Uh no, I'm not interested in that. Just not for me." Because like, a lot of queer people barely acknowledge aroace people exist, I don't even expect possible straight people to know what that is. 220
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I'm being asked to do math publicly and I would really rather not. Especially because other classmates are giving different answers.

MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It went from "Come see musical!" to "Please open a bank account!" Sorry advertisers, I just have professors who like field trips. Ordering from the same restaurant on [Redacted]St for weeks on end probably adds to targeted ads as well. 000
MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It seems I've fully confused advertisers as far as my location goes. Sometimes I have local ads, but since most of the time I open google maps it's to look for stuff in the city I often get ads for residents.

MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I'll kinda forgive people for not being able to spot the mile wide stylistic difference because they don't have a trained eye, but the only thing those two share is the fact that they are both goddesses.

MK @mkmonster.bsky.social · 09/08/2026If there's one thing that pisses me off regarding ancient art, it's when people use depictions of gods/goddesses interchangeably.
