I feel that every fucking day.
I hide it when I'm at work....because I HAVE to....gotta put on that brave face and rally the troops.
It takes SO goddamn many spoons to keep up the work ethic, mask the autism, not falter on the meds, and pray to Crom that the impostor syndrome doesn't leak out.
My latest for @thenation.com. For those of us in healthcare, public health, science resisting is a duty born of our commitment to serve, make the world a better place. But our institutions don't make it easy. But we still have to do it in large and small ways. www.thenation.com/article/acti...
Jessica Denson is a very strong voice for removing Trump from office. On this "short," she says NK 3 should not be a rally without a demand - her demand is "Impeach, Convict, Remove." Now I know what my sign will say.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
So, I just listened to "God Fodder" by Ned's Atomic Dustbin, and....holy FUCK how have I never heard of this band until now?!
Seriously....it is SO GODDAMNED GOOD.
I knew in the back of my head that this was true, but the asshole part of my brain has been shrieking like a rabid howler monkey at the idea of not getting any more new Star Trek.
Thankfully, your post has done a LOT to assuage that fear.
Thank you, my friend. You fucking ROCK! 🤘🖖
But, most importantly....is it fun to play, and does it sound good?
🤯
What in the actual FUCK is that guitar?! How many frets are on that thing? What's the scale length?
And, do you have your own personal guitar tech on staff? Cos my local guitar shops struggle with my 7 string and baritone guitars.
Hell, the string gauges ALONE would give me a coronary.
Coley's original essay is here (this is a gift link):

Over on Whatever, I use a NYT essay by @jordancoley.bsky.social about how "selling out" made him a better artist to talk about the concept of "selling out" in general, and how, except for a few highly specific situations, I think it largely doesn't exist.

My favorite Star Trek series is Deep Space Nine, so of COURSE that one was gonna get me.
Seeing what Sam had to go through in "The Life of the Stars" fucking DESTROYED me. 😭
And I'm REALLY upset about that episode.
@seanferrick.bsky.social had the right of it....Sam SHOULD have been the A story.
"I've Seen All Good People" is one of the FEW Yes songs that I genuinely enjoy (I'm sorry, Bob, I know you love them....they're one of the few old school prog bands that I just can't get into, and BELIEVE ME, I've TRIED!)
Hearing Ann Wilson sing this....that woman could sing the phone book for me.
Goddammit....I finally caught up on the most recent episode of Starfleet Academy, and it's the SECOND fucking time this show has made me ugly cry....and for the SAME damn character!
....I love Sam so much. 😭
So we bombed...an intention?
"That's the way it is." No, it's this way because he ripped up the JCPOA due to his hatred of Barack Obama. And I assure you, he never read the Iran Deal nor does he know what JCPOA stands for. Someone in the press should ask him.
So, I wish to thank @archane.bsky.social for turning me on to one of THE BEST sci-fi series that I SHOULD have been on top of 30 damn years ago....!
Yeah, Babylon 5 is PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME!
Something I LOVE about the Hollow Knight games is how they reward you for replaying them again, later, after they kick the SHIT out of you the first time.
Case in point: I spent a full 3 HOURS trying to beat the First Judge in Silksong my first playthrough.
This time?
Nailed it on my second try.
Also, Voyager season 5!
Infinte Regress, Nothing Human, Latent Image, Someone to Watch Over Me, 11:59....those are all AWESOME, but they are NOTHING compared to the camp MAJESTY that is Bride of Chaotica!
Seasons 4 and 5 of DS9 are PRACTICALLY holy scripture, as far as I'm concerned, so let's just rule those out for the time being. 😁
For me, TNG season 6 is SUPER fucking solid.
Relics, Second Chances, Birthright, Chain of Command, Frame of Mind, and my PERSONAL favorite of ALL of TNG....Tapestry. 🤘

Logic, practiced with purpose. Tim Russ joins Trek Talks 5, bringing the calm authority, discipline, and unmistakable Vulcan presence that defined Tuvok. Measured. Observant. Entirely intentional.
Good.
Now, let's do ALL the rest.
So, the new Silversun Pickups album just dropped, and....I'm ALREADY in love.
I've loved this band for 20 years, and for good reason....they NEVER disappoint.
It IS an eternal question!
Why you gotsta keep writing AWESOME books, dammit?!
My friend just watched a "Wallace and Gromit" cartoon, and NOW she wants to read "When the Moon Hits Your Eye!"
You have SO MUCH to answer for, sir! Explain yourself!
Why do you have to be so damn awesome?
No, he doesn't.
He's also not currently in Congress, doing his best to fuck over hos constituents.
So, unless you, or Tom, have anything USEFUL to add to the conversation, then I would ask BOTH of you to KINDLY shut the fuck up. 🖕
Hey @907initiative.bsky.social , here's an idea. Food for thought.
How's about instead of spending money on ads trying to convince people to call Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich and ask them to STOP voting for shit they already VOTED for....how about you get behind BETTER candidates in the primaries?
I mean, dude's confirmed to be in "Doomsday," might as well give him the flowers, right?
