idk, some guy

Starting to believe I'll actually get a dog tomorrow. After the last-minute cancellation 2 weeks ago I've been very guarded in my excitement.

Fostering still feels like the ideal route for me to have a dog - getting to do all the fun work while someone else is responsible for the big decisions: 💯

I bought a copy a few weeks back, a coworker gave me the sequel. I have yet to watch, though

Florida is really ramping up their takeover of NASA

Hey if you are quoting from or posting screenshots of new Epstein file drops, PUT A FUCKING CONTENT WARNING UP. It costs you nothing and this place is filled with people victimized by people just like the people in the files.

Cold porketta on toasted sourdough with my friend's rhubarb chutney and a tiny scattering of blue cheese crumbles.

God damn I'm good

Screenshot from Berlin Philharmonik biography on Dvorak: But first, Dvorak travelled to Spillville, a rural idyll in Iowa, during the summer of 1893. It had been founded by a Bavarian named Spielman. And was 350 km west of Chicago, surrounded by fields and inhabited almost exclusively by Czech emigrants. Dvorak, an enthusiastic railway fan, travelled by train: "We were there in 36 hours with the express train." When he arrived there, he immediately felt at home: "I played the organ in the little church often and with pleasure - the grannies were very happy to hear our Bohemian hymns again after so many years."

Screenshot from an MNHS article on Dvorak in the Midwest: "Although he yearned to return to Spill ille, Josef Kovarik remained with Dvorak during his eight months in New York, acting as his interpreter, music copyist, and general factotum and also serving on the conservatory staff. Reports differ about Dvorak's reaction to New York but for the most part he evidently adjusted well to the big city. Frequently accompanied by his faithful secretary, the composer conquered his dislike for New York traffic enough to pursue some favorite pastimes. These included feeding pigeons in Central Park, watching railroad locomotives and elevated trains, and walking aboard ocean liners at the docks. "He knew the day and hour what ships were arriving and departing, " wrote a biographer, "and prided himself on being able to address his letters to bohemia, stating exactly what ship they would be carried." Dvorak disliked social life -- even though he appreciated the desire of fellow Czechs and others to honor him -- because I felt him up too late. So did conducting concerts. Born and raised in a small country town, he always preferred to go to bed early to be able to gey up early for walks

Antonin Dvôrak, foamer

Ope

They really are.

Oh I love a smoked pork chop! And there's no shame in eating something easy like that - you're feeding yourself and that's pretty crucial!

Had a craving for porketta the other day & picked up a roast from Everett's. Finally cooked it off tonight and holy moly it was amazing.

It's been a real struggle lately to find anything I actually want to eat, this is such a huge win.

Oh good, my nervous system has removed peanut butter toast from the illegal foods list.

The first line of this was filed away in my head as one of those weird songs peculiar to my family until this morning.

Loudoun Wainwright III's "Dead Skunk" was another.

Let how exhausted I look here give you a window into how hard mutual aid organizers have been pushing to keep our neighbors safe and housed when no one else will. Please write to your councilmembers and the mayor and urge them to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives!

One of the fundamental problems with our private property regime is that preventing landlords from losing rental income is constitutinally protected (taking property), but burdening low-income tenants with evitctions, debt and potential abduction by the federal gov't is not.

Nonprofit “affordable housing” providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.

Top-most journal entry in a 5-year journal that's setting on a pink, white and black skull pattern background cloth, the entry reads: Feb 30th [March 1 is crossed out] - Fri 2024: Welcome to the rest of Feb y'all since in this house we don't believe in March. Whirlwind of a day - then hustling to teach 11:45 -1, worked on sending GREENS results to couathors, later fish fryday @ Our Lady of Peace with Jonathan and Jackie

Just a friendly reminder that it is in fact not March 3rd but rather February 31st. Feb will continue until Feb 59th (60th in leap years), replacing the month formerly known as March which has demonstrated in multiple and sequential years that it is an unrelenting and annual disaster of a month.

How about the Wild fund HCMC an then fuck all the way off

Cat's out of the bag: we're broadcasting the Jason Isbell/400 Unit show live from the Armory on Thursday night starting around 8pm CST.

Whether it’s this sort of math or the fact that we’ve been able to cover rent and groceries for so many of our neighbors, the evidence just piles higher and higher that poverty is a choice made by capital

White dudes with cringe tattoos getting vulnerable for a moment to sloppily tell you about their personal journey wherein Jesus told them to do the thing they actually love doing is like the pinnacle of the US religious experience

the rational response to learning of Epstein's 24/7 access to white-glove treatment from some of the world's best surgeons and medical practitioners is to conclude that privatized health care is a moral, ethical, and medical catastrophe. it's reasonable to call for the whole system to be rethought

Have you ever led 30 people on soupsong in your own living room? That's too much power for one man

Always a wise idea to triple check the time of the function. Realized I'd forgotten to add a crucial ingredient on the way back home, so at least there's opportunity to remedy that.

Oh no, you definitely possess Cool

Foodies don't want you to know this, but if you put Mayo on hot noodles, it's basically as good as Alfredo

Gentle reminder that social media is often the worst place to hang out when really bad things happen.

Minnesota folk, you have a whole lot of new local friends. I humbly suggest you go make plans with them to do something to make something better today, instead of doom scrolling for hours.

Hey they don't call me Jessy Needles for nothing 😂
