Hey, if you follow me, I don’t wanna do a jump scare, so I’ll tell you off the bat that I’m very much NOT a fan of using our tax $$$ to fund a genocide. Generally don’t like genocides full stop. Also VERY into letting trans humans live full lives w access to hormones & gender-affirming care. 🇵🇸🏳️⚧️🇵🇸🏳️⚧️

Inside Cameron Winter’s Extremely Sold-Out Carnegie Hall Show
Amid the season of Geese, Winter marked the one-year anniversary of his staggering solo debut by digging into the core of his feverish songs at a one-man show for a rapt room full of stars.

One of the coolest people I know, Matt Arnett, has cancer. If you're feeling generous today, you can help with his expenses. I went to high school with Matt. He is hard to sum up all he has done for the music and art worlds, so I'll share an article in my follow-up.

Even though age 78 is a nice old age for many men, Rob Reiner's father Carl lived to be 98 and was smart as a tack right until the end. Rob had a lot of generative years left. His death is such a devestating and tragic loss. RIP Meathead. #robreiner

I wish I could broadcast to people who think a puzzle would be a good gift for me that I really don't want anything over 500 pieces. I just don't have the space in my house to leave a puzzle out, so when I puzzle, I need to puzzle then put it away.

I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

Spending the day at a surgery center while my husband gets a new hip, and boy is it going poorly! Got here at 10:15am. He went back, then I got to see him for a bit before they got started. His surgery started at 1:32pm.

So a while back, I signed up to be part of a class action suit made on behalf of merchants against Visa/Mastercard for overcharging inflated interchange fees between 2004-2019. I wasn't expecting much, but I just learned I'm getting back over $2,000! Thanks, lawyers!

Sent this to my neighbors: "There are a bunch of 16-17 year-old white dudes w khaki pants, blue blazers, & name tags at the top of the hill gathered around a bunch of scooters. I think they're abt to come spread the Lord Jesus's word around our neighborhood so be careful answering your door today."

One day, our old cat Lucy (RIP) plopped down in front of our wood-burning stove and sat there until we (her servants) built her a fire. 🔥 #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #warmth

I loved this take. Trump is destigmatizing the concept of fascism. @matthewremski.bsky.social

Trump is making the f-word acceptable. He is destigmatizing the concept of "fascism". This is in line with the criminalization of "antifascism."

I live in Raleigh, NC. There's a huge new build going up three doors down from me. The crews were not on site M-Th this week, but today, I walked past about 8 (Spanish-speaking) framers who were back on site today. I spoke to them for a bit. 1/2
