wild how the coolest people you know will be like "oh my god teach me how to be as cool as you" when you mention doing your own oil change. i have watched you do absolutely insane jumps at derby i am NOT the cooler person here just for being able to do bare minimum car maintenance

hey everything is super crazy right now so i think it’s a great time to remind everyone that a bluesky post is called a “skeet”

But courage! there is good cheer in store for you

i was looking in the wrong folder. i can never speak to my project manager again. lol.

"we need to get these projects out by EOD" oh great so you're going to answer my questions promptly right. you're not going to take an hour to reply to a single question about where a document is located that i do crucially need to know for these projects right. Right

This is so exciting, and it's also so funny that our national response to this is basically "not NOW, new state of matter, we have a lot going on" www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/t...

archive.org/details/tMG2... finally finished and uploaded this tape a couple days ago, i am somewhat slacking on posting about it but better late than never - the mountain goats, live, 2024-04-21 at the caverns. a truly spectacular concert that's forever got a special place in my heart.

learning the hard way the importance of regular saves today

well it has certainly been an amusing prank to let the worst people alive take over the american government for a few weeks, but I think it's probably gone on long enough

I loved talking with Nichole about #DHmakes and machine knitting for this Internet Archive blog piece! 🥰

Read it if you can.

last night I was out with a couple of friends (aged 19-30) and, despite having not read LOTR since I was...eleven? i somehow a) still have the poem about the rings memorized and b) was the only person who knew "one...to rule them all" was a lotr ref. I'm...that's not even obscure, right?

I've been sending this episode to basically everyone I know. I genuinely consider this essential listening for anyone who likes music! If you haven't already, please listen to this!

thank god for live music

big if true: someone you know (me) is starting to experiment with music stuff

Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?

the risk of being friends with me is that literally anything you say can spontaneously result in me making a hyperspecific high effort custom meme

keep manifesting everybody it's working

I make $20 every six monthsish on the combined streams of all four of my albums on all streaming sites. At Bandcamp I make about $10 every time I sell an album, physical or download. Use Spotify if you want, but if you like living artists making a living, buy something from them where they get paid.

can't wait for late september when the empty shell of the country becomes a Spirit Halloween

if anyone heard chappell call for a liveable wage for performing musical artists and songwriters at the grammys and thought “what is the best organization i could support that’s fighting for that” that organization is called @umaw.bsky.social

If I just read one million more posts tonight, I will have complete control over what comes next

It is more important than ever to remember: when some asshole is arguing a right wing talking point in your emotions, don’t get your licks in. Stop imagining you’re the one who’s really gonna make them think. Don’t get distracted. Block. Block. Block.

pick up an analog hobby, I'm so serious. something that holds your attention and is fun for you, literally anything. Collect and identify bread tags or something, just don't fall into the trap of doomscroll paralysis again

ok time to implement my recent "stop doomscrolling and go do a sudoku" rule

first roller derby injury let's hear it for my first roller derby injury!!!! 🔥🔥💯‼️🔥💯💯🔥🔥🔥‼️🔥💯🔥

i'd say the least annoying team in the nfl is probably the oklahoma lobsters. they make the playoffs every so often but don't really get in anybody's way. the fans are pretty nice. ryan tannehill's a solid quarterback who seems like a cool guy. honestly, when's the last time anybody was mad at them

they gotta invent a weekend that you don't have to spend recovering from the week

if i ever voluntarily sew a bias bound sleeve placket again in my life please just get rid of me. this shit sucks so fucking bad i am never sewing one ever fucking again

usps i love you so much take all the time you need forever, but also, informed delivery has been saying I'll have a package arriving today for like a week and i would love to find out what it is because i don't remember ordering anything

You said you were too busy to play with me but you’re literally just eating candy and reading wikipedia articles about mummies

Hello, here’s a useful resource for archiving things from the internet you want to save before they go away. If we all archive a bit, it makes a big difference. zinebakery.com/homemade-zin...

I’m so sorry that my off handed comment on a social media platform did not take into consideration the perspective and feelings of every person on the planet, it will absolutely happen again

put together a handy dandy lil directory of mine and @kyle2.bsky.social's tmg projects along with some other stuff i often tell people about! links for the newsletter sign up, live music archive, live tmg comps, and more! check it out www.thegemthecolor.com/thestickerlady/directory

wow it would be so fucked up if some sad unsuspecting young person just trying to keep it together made a wonderful baked potato for dinner and then immediately dropped the entire thing on their keyboard. that would be so tragic if it happened. haha.

make your weird art because no one else will, ok? make it loud and weird and be unabashed about it

having Forgets Things Disorder is extremely fun sometimes because every single package i receive is a surprise gift from past me. i'm expecting something to arrive on friday? wow, news to me, can't wait to see what past lyric has blessed me with this time

It isn't about finding 'replacements' for Gaiman and other creatives that get exposed for their monstrous bullshit. It's about pulling away from idolatry. If work resonates with you, that's fine. It does not connect you to the creative in a way that demands blind fealty.

i usually let the newsletter have first access but in this sick, sad world, we are in desperate need of sick, sick beats and who would i be to keep that from you? introducing my newest @themountaingoats.bsky.social LIVE! comp: The Best of The Wurst, vol 1 (1/3) 🥁
