That sounds terrible. I hope you can get effective treatment. I've read that male doctors often tend to be dismissive of women's pain; I hope that's not the case for you.

She should get an award, not handcuffs

I finally got to finish watching Star Trek: Lower Decks! The finale was much more exciting than I expected. The strong coffee I drank this morning may have had something to do with it, but still... #STLD #StarTrek

Dang, I was looking right at it all the time! Now it's obvious, of course.

I'm "udderly" amazed by the quality of these covers. Can't find the wolf, though!

Even though it's as background music, I can still appreciate the progression of the songs more than if I listen to them separately. Playlists have their place but albums have their own unity and architecture.

Matthew Green @mehjg.bsky.social · 16d

I know, right? Among other things, digital music (whether local or streaming) has totally changed the way we listen to music. For a while I even kind of forgot that albums are designed to be listened to from start to finish. Now I make it a point to do that often, instead of just isolated songs.

I wish I had enough free time to just sit down and listen to music sometimes—not as background music while I do something else (which I do every day); as the focus of my attention, so I can really pay attention to the lyrics, sing along, pay more attention to the melodies, the flow of the album...

Looks great to me!

From time to time I'm struck by the huge proportion of my daily actions that can be accurately (if reductively) described as poking or tapping on buttons, switches, or touchscreens.

Gorgeous!

Thank you!

I think I'll make my anxiety Biff and my fear Trevor. Take that, Biff and Trevor! You've just lost 40 points.

I was today years old when I learned that the prog rock band Yes covered a Simon & Garfunkel song! 🤯❤️

You have corn smut in your womb? It belongs in a quesadilla or a soup, not in your womb.

Matthew Green @mehjg.bsky.social · 24d

Thank you! 😃🎉🥳

As someone who enjoys creative endeavors, I'm encouraged

Creative hobbies could slow brain ageing at the molecular level

To keep the mind young, dance the tango.

explain your username:
"Matthew" because I'm boy (my parents were going to name me Martha, my grandmothers' name, if I was a girl) and because they didn't want to name me Marion (my grandfather's name) but wanted me to have his first initial. "Green" because some ancestor lived on the village green.

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins:
Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right)
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?
What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

Fabulous!

I only moved away because of life circumstances that made it necessary, but I would've been happy to stay there for the rest of my life. Beyond the beauty of the place, Cape Ann has a lot of art, music, and theater. I left 12 years ago and still miss it.

I lived in Gloucester for a couple of years, and Rockport was part of my regular stamping ground. I love it!

Victor organized a birthday party for me today (a few days before my actual birthday, for convenience). It was a blast!
