This is so rad

my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies

On day 14 ish of a work trip (the one that has been happening then canceled then back on, etc.) The people are pretty great but we got bad news today. Some wrap-up still needed, expect to fly home on Sunday.

In 2014, Tisha Turk's Article on fan works and gifting appeared in #TWC15! Turk argued that "fandom's gift economy should be understood as involving a wide variety of gifts, a complex system of reciprocation, and the use of gifts as a sign of their reception." Read it here:

at first you think "ah the dog is passively having fun" and then you realize the dog knows how to steer the skateboard and THEN you learn the dog knows how to PROPEL the skateboard

On May 18, 1980, Richard Lasher got up early to get some photos at Spirit Lake. Instead, he was forced to stop because of the massive, explosive Mount St. Helens eruption and captured this iconic photo with his own red Ford Pinto on the road. 🧪⚒️ #OTD www.hemmings.com/stories/mt-s...

I miss the days of "don't be evil."

slow burn, enemies to lovers, wlw

Saw Goddess last night. It was good and Amber Iman was amazing. First time seeing a show at the Public, A+ experience.

i’ve been thinking about fandom, consent, and what happens when creative work gets taken out of context. an article linking to fic set off a chain reaction—and it brought up a wild memory i’d buried. also: great fanvids, orbital wonder, and the grateful dead. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/cont...

This is the most Chicago editors note ever

I know this is not everyone's cuppa, but the astrology is really weird right now. In general I like to remind myself that the moon changes sign every 3 days, and so might my emotions. But the current transit of Pluto opposition Mars is no joke, among others. All leading to something good but first 🌀

Good luck Canada 🇨🇦

Eating a late lunch by the river. Watching the ferries go back and forth (singing each to each). ☀️⛴️ After spiraling about my personal but work-adjacent problem this weekend I realized I am not so okay that I don't need (more) time off. I've been working up to 90 hrs / wk while scheduled for 28.

YOUR NL West leading San Francisco Giants just won on a Little League Home Run

Minor miracle needed. (Possibly just: executive function needed). Good vibes welcome.

LOL was just served up a video where someone was explaining a sex act to spicy romance readers, but told AO3 readers to scroll on by 🤣 because they would find it boring. 😆

What structure is more inherently haunted than a lighthouse? Okay, there may be a list but it isn't that long. Inspired by Lions Lighthouse in Long Beach! thegorgonist.etsy.com/listing/1851...

Chappel Roan, save me from the screaming child on this bus. 🙏📿🎶🎧

Starting soon!

This was interesting. Spur of the moment decision, did not know much about it going in. As always, would have loved more women on stage.

Perhaps I should not have had coffee after dinner ...

Wow, Leslie Odom Jr is returning to Hamilton! I'd heard a rumor of original cast members returning but didn't credit it.

Gray day but outside anyway hoping to improve my brain chemistry. My brain came up with a new stress dream last week. I generally take it as a personal failing but I think the vibes are just weird right now.
