Yesterday, I went to a meet up of cavalier king Charles spaniels at a local bar. I didn't have a dog, buy a drink, know anyone, or successfully talk to anyone. More importantly, I sang "Happy Birthday" to a dog named Pretzel and I got to pet a bunch of happy, wiggly goofballs.

Shoutout to this woman who had her Chippendale slant-front desk appraised by Leigh Keno on Antiques Roadshow in 1996 while wearing a "I Tried Catnip Once, But I Didn't Inhale" shirt. Perfect political satire for cat ladies in 1996.

The Devo cover is Chi Chi Rodriguez and it gets closer when Chi Chi was a little older/jowlier

Ive looked into getting into dog modeling because of my parents late dog, Charlie. It's hard. Crackers is adorable.

I would only vote for an out-and-proud centrist to receive more wedgies. What a fucking worthless right wing dork. This is an evil country run by cruel conservatives. A centrist in Ward 1 of a city that has no representation in congress isnt some sort of "moral highground". You just are shitty.

I'm 3-2-2 w/r/t seeing Sonic Youth-The Rapture-Mogwai. All great

Watching this public metal slide in Boston, hoping for a cop to come flying out awkwardly

Saw this cover band playing at Government Center in Boston earlier today and am wondering how often people cover The Modern Lovers here.

I have 2 dill mustards in my fridge right now, but both are running low. My mustard reserves are in need of reinforcement right now, in general.

I have the closest thing to a real Fugazi shirt. Its a Fort Reno shirt (where I talked to 3 members of Fugazi last night) that is a reference to a Fugazi show, designed by a friend of theirs/member of Dischord bands. Its currently run by Ian's sister and I bought it from her.

Actual DC: dogs asking for Popsicles while watching bands play at Fort Reno

Bad news. Im so addicted to water.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

These incessant, silly, wasteful, terrifying flyovers in DC fucking suck, but I've found one good use: they add to the ambiance while watching Mad Max: Fury Road

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Check out these worthless little National Guard shitheels protecting this vacant former CVS. You can almost see their shitty little mustaches from across the bus that is across the street. The degree to which the federal government's occupation of DC continues to grow is both monstrous and stupid.

If there had been a box, it would have made more sense! Related, heres a chunk of breadsticks that sat outside for six months and then was cast in resin by me.

The best picture of me ever taken was at a Lightning Bolt show in 2007.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 08/06/2026

I dont know. I have some pictures i took for functional reasons or its just dogs and cats. Nothing too exciting, but this seems relevant .

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Last night I was reminiscing about how sometimes my parents used to find a spoon or fork or other utensil on a windowsill. It was because Charlie was a little chaos demon who would open the dishwasher, steal stuff, then go look out the windows, and get distracted by a bird or whatever.

This dog at my nephew's t ball game wore it better

Saw this Washington City Paper box on the street and felt wistful for the early 2010s; when the WCP was printed in a physical form and I knew most of the writers, so I was quoted in it semi-regularly and reported on once for being a guy. A "twee, local-music starfucker" as an internet person put it.

A dog is wearing a hat while watching my nephew play t-ball. Most importantly A DOG IS WEARING A HAT.

I've made a lot of mistakes, but I am proud to have lived a life that leads to falling into a free ticket to see Bruce Springsteen sometimes

I have been using the smallest side of a box grater and just a fork for too long. I'm ready to efficiently process citrus again.

Here's a D Plan poster I got when I was replacing their bassist in a house in 2011 and he didn't want to move it. My roommates at the time were the guitarist from Travis Morrison Hellfighters and their go to lighting guy.

The cat (I think named "Seamus") is alive. Im a bad uncle and worse cat-uncle. I definitely know my human-nephew's name.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

Here's my sister's cat. She doesn't seem to like him, but her son does. Her late husband loved him and had him before she knew him. This is how you end up begrudgingly maintaining a 16-year-old cat.

Alright, folks. I sincerely want to see yr vinegars. This is just the vinegar that happens to be sitting on my desk right now. I have a whole set of vinegars in the kitchen downstairs. And of course some vinegar packets in my bag that I take everywhere (with many mustards/mayo/soy sauce/hot sauces).

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

This announcement of a future Minutemen album hangs at the record store where I work and its so unintentionally poignant. Votes for live songs to include were due by 4/1/86 (D. Boon's b-day!) This album never existed because D. Boon tragically died on 12/22/85 and that was the end of The Minutemen

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

I've also got this one I bought from a guy with a duffel bag at a Chuck Brown Day show (after Chuck died, but The Chuck Brown Band, Trouble Funk, and RE all played that day)

010

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Had to cross the room for this, but one of my favorite shirts. Bought from a guy with a duffel bag outside Chuck Brown's wake at the Howard Theater

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Oh hell yeah, I recommend this to people constantly. Got the soundtrack within arms reach without moving my chair.

NO! Fuck you, Oblique Strategies app! I will only deny that I have talent. I just have silly business cards. I'm just some guy.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Not only is this record a great comp of classic go-go, I think it might be my favorite album cover ever

The place I'd most likely to visit if I had money for this sort of stuff is the mustard museum in Wisconsin. Wisconsin seems cool and mustard is my favorite food. I have a t-shirt from the mustard museum and the curator said this about a mustard cookbook I have.

Looking for a picture on my phone and was unexpectedly reminded me of the time a few weeks ago when I saw a car drive by with a unicycle on a bike rack? Unike rack? Im not sure why, but i heartily chuckled again. Just driving around by my house on like a Wednesday afternoon or whatever.

A blue sedan with a bike rack on the trunk. The bike rack is carrying a single unicycle, possibly meaning it is a "unike rack".

I just listened to this, the theme to the 1984 LA Olympics by Giorgio Moroder. Its not his best work.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

@maryvsmovies.bsky.social and here are some pictures I took of a Przewalski's horse playing with a ball some time I was at the zoo (I go to the zoo a lot. Its free and near a lot of places I've lived/worked/recreated/shopped and I love long walks).

030

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

@maryvsmovies.bsky.social let yr sister know I have a photo of a Przewalski's horse in my bedroom. Taken at the National zoo (about a mile from me now, lived even closer when I bought it at an art sale benefit thing 15 years ago)

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

@jortsthecat.bsky.social do you have a record player, Jorts? I can send you this record that I encountered/researched/listened to today. You and Jean could have a really fun dance party while listening to it.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Just watched a group of these useless bootlicking National Gaurd fuckos walk into the Subway from which the infamously thrown sub came. Fucking useless losers who aspire to be fascist thugs.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

My sister saw this at a grocery store today. This is such charmingly misguided ad hoc signage that small, family-owned grocery stores really excel at. They used the red/orange paper to warn about the fire (that happened in the past at the egg carton manufacturer, affecting egg cartons).

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

I got an email from ATK about recipes relating to the upcoming Olympics. Reminded me of this cake I baked/decorated for the 2008 summer Olympics. I was a 22-year-old who was an experienced and skilled baker, just not a decorator. It was delicious.

My 3-year-old nephew asked my dad to help him type up a thank you note to Santa. My nephew is very nice and very cute. He has interesting ideas about spacing and would annoy a copy editor.

030

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 23/12/2025

This sweater my nephew had when he was smaller was great, but i have one comment: the sweater of the dog pictured on the small child's sweater should have a picture of a small child on it. This fictional dog in (and on) a sweater is a fan of children and would choose to show his fandom of his shirt.

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

My sister encountered this fellow tonight. His name is Fuzzy and he wanted everybody's snacks. Im both very jealous and confused by how and why a Muppet is attending a book club in Syracuse. Did he read the book? Maybe Elmo read it to him?

Fuzzy, clearly a Muppet whose human claims is a Sheltie, asks for a snack.

The show i went to tonight had a secret weapon of great shows: a dog. His name was Ernie and he was a very good boy. #ShowDog

Pat Walsh @ptrq.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

A dog just showed up at this show i volunteered to help with 2 days ago and ended up being the only person running! His name is Otis! He came up to me and leaned on my leg for like 5 min! #ShowDog
