Looking for Holiday music?
The only reason I can think of for my follower count doubling in the past month is people adding me from the Musicians starter pack.
Well, if you’re looking for music, check out this EP of three Holiday songs that I wrote and recorded with some wonderful people.

Having worked in restaurants, I’d say the home is the restaurant of the home and the dining room is the restaurant dining room of the restaurant of the home and the kitchen is the restaurant kitchen of the restaurant of the home.

This Spooky Season, remember:
All the world's a candy store, he's been trick or treatin'. When it comes to true love, girl, with him there's no one home.

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill.

Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

JD Vance brushes off racist texts by adults in Republican group chat as ‘what kids do’

Vice-president downplays messages such as ‘I love Hitler’ in chat by 24 to 35-year-olds to ‘stupid jokes’

They only gave K-Pop Demon Hunters a one week theatrical release, and Del Toro’s Frankenstein is only getting a very limited theatrical release.

Netflix really sucks at this.

I just saw Kathryn Bigelow’s new film A House of Dynamite and it’s phenomenal. Sadly, Netflix has only given it a very limited theatrical release. If you wanna see it in a theater (highly recommended), better catch it in the next week (and that’ll only work if you live in a major city).

Title of the film in red text on a three panel image: a woman on a phone, a soldier in a field holding binoculars, a man in suit jacket and tie looking distressed.

Nobody wants to kill centrists.
You’ll be fine however it works out.

I don’t object to a wish for non-violence, I only object to an insistence that violence is never and must never be used.
Should it come to a point that the fascists will never be overthrown without violence, the only non-violence people become allies with the fascists.

Congratulations on finding a quote from a wealthy white man shielded in comfort supported by the status quo calling for non-violence and humor.
I am shocked, *shocked*, that a wealthy white man would feel that way.

I was peacefully objecting to ICE kidnappings when the National Guard teargassed me. Let me know when you’ve got the other side on board with being peaceful.

Yes, states leaving the union will certainly be peaceful. There is absolutely zero precedent in American history to suggest otherwise.

I don’t remember a birthday or Christmas that I didn’t have to perform happiness for the comfort of others. It’s exhausting.
I’m sorry. Wishing the best for you.

When someone is tongue kissing your bellybutton, are you supposed to say, “awww, yeah, baby! clean my lint trap!”?
Or no?
