Mattie having us take random selfies of routine evenings helps me remember that an openly queer married couple simply spending the night on the couch streaming Arrested Development is a scenario we never even let ourselves dream about as kids.

Like how it’s the 25th Anniversary of Warning, Green Day’s best album (you know it YOU COWARDS) and @nikostratis.com wrote a piece about “The Unsung Queerness of Green Day Lyrics” awhile back that I still think about:

Because of the way the Netflix UI hates letting you take a breath after the end of a film, not enough people know that The Mountain Goats’ cover of Jonathan Larson’s song “It Only Takes a Few” plays during the credits of “tick, tick…BOOM!”
It’s really special.

I'm still in love with the "blend" feature, but it's been serving up embarrassing songs that makes no sense. I have plenty of embarrassing songs that I ACTUALLY listen to on repeat! (I'm shocked that one, no not that one, THAT one cover of Teenage Dream hasn't shown up.) open.spotify.com/playlist/37

I’ve been accused of compulsively asking questions on podcasts when I don’t really want to know the answer, which is patently untrue.
I don’t think Roderick has ever heard my voice or been influenced by my weirdness in any way, and yet lately, he too is Just Asking the Questions.

When ICE footage goes viral on Bluesky, the one spark of joy in the aftermath is finding other Chicago accounts instead of the same five popular journalists posting about our city like it’s already fallen to fascism instead of when and how neighbors are protecting one another.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.
And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

the new wave of grifters including that one lawyer have absolutely zero juice. this is the lore a grift deserves.
also: single downside of transition is i didn’t work on my voice in a way that allowed me to keep enough control to get back down to sing frank ocean. I CAN’T SING ALONG WITH FRANK OCEAN ANYMORE (mark this down as transition regret and let me grift off it for a while; i will use the money for good).

Okay, my one request is that I need to know how to “end” a session, because you can’t by just pausing or even “force quitting” on iOS. I just left my apartment and hoped it would stop after disconnecting from Bluetooth. 😬
If I just post this, can you add to my Spotify "Jam" playlist currently playing?

I have wanted a social network feature like this for over a decade. I forgive Spotify for accidentally recommending “Two Headed Girl” next to “The Matt Walsh Show.” You can scrape that private RSS feed all night long.
