I think quality matters, and I think the only way to create really good things is to care a whole awful lot and work really hard on them.
Five years ago I got a fumbling rendition of a Ted Greene arrangement under my fingers for Christmas. I’ve since had children, and this has not improved my musicianship. Man, I gotta get back to it.
Have a merry little holiday, whatever you celebrate.

A few months ago I found this band too punishing to be listenable, and now I keep spinning this EP. I'm still not sure I _like_ it per se, but there is something drawing me back. I am surely having an unsettling experience of art.

This started as a series of bluesky posts here and quickly grew enough it deserved its own markdown. It's a rambling about a book I'm excited for, and caring to read.

A wild thing about having children is you can be doing some ephemeral software bullshit like debugging database timeouts in the morning, then take the kids to the local pool in the afternoon and oops surprise you just formed core memories that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life.

Name one lyric that goes harder than
> Untimely ripped into this world
> I was born again as a girl
This may be the heaviest line ever written. Low Teens is a contender for my favourite album of the past decade.

Nobody tell Henry from online that he’s Already A Writer because I’m stoked for these endeavours.
unfortunately i really would like to try my hand at Being A Writer — y’all had any success doing lit mag submissions, and any advice if so? i’ve got a handful of prose poems i think are decent and i’m feeling earnest enough to give it a try

I run a linear, there and back again, route for #couch25k and my free dopamine tip is to offer high fives to people coming in the other direction.

Mildly incensed by all the CEOs lionising long hours at the office, I peeled back a small corner of my filter and wrote a short, slightly unhinged, and likely incoherent post. The kind of raw cringe post I can only conjure in a state of child-induced sleep deprivation.

I have a home with a garden that has a few trees, and the house is full of plants, and books, and children and their paraphernalia, and I am appreciating it. This is water, as it goes.

Extremely proud of myself to be listening to Long Live on a run and go “oh hey that’s Listener!” which is not a secret, but I guess I didn’t know Listener last time I was into The Chariot.
Anyway the video is fun too.
