These fuckin crustaceans have been giving me hell this year.

Got dressed in a party and took a bathroom fit pic in honor of @athensgrease.bsky.social birthday.

I've been listening to a bunch of new-to-me artists + Swamp Dogg. Ismay and Styrofoam Winos come recommended from Sloane Spencer's Podcast "Dive Bar Music Club". Was captivated during Deloyd Elze's opening set for Futurebirds last weekend. ✨

My weirdos

It's only Tuesday. My job is trying to kill me. The summer is trying to kill me. So, put a little cami under this slutty (complimentary) dress and lets see if that will patch me up enough to survive another day.

The absolute weirdest app (derogatory)

This holiday weekend's vibe required a specific soundtrack.

It's been a rough garden year so far but there's this sunflower preparing to bloom.

Read some really excellent books in June.

We went to see the friendly election folks, got a replacement ballot and a sticker. ✨

Voter oppression

Sometimes you need a taco pizza.

You know I'm at least a little curious.

Some new releases I've been spinning. River Shook and American Aquarium are both excellent. I can't decide if I really like the Willow Avalon album. It's smart and good but not something that would pull me back to listen again and again.

Here is your inspiration.

This book was just lovely. Ann Patchett is a treasure.

Yeah that courthouse is really incredible. I also have a giant stone barn? My partner, he has the fucking one and only Corn Palace. 😅

I have an old courthouse? A couple ghost towns? Oh yeah, we went to the Ozarks on our first lil trip together and my goodness...campy and delightful

Now I'm pulling up Aftermath, a perfect album by Elizabeth Cook.

This dog spent nearly two years being half terrified of the man who lives here. Now he does this every single night.

Summatime evening walks and summatime skies

This is Hazel. She also answers to Pretty Girl, Hazelnut, Hazelton, Hazelroni, Happy Dog, Cookie Monster

This is Rick AKA Chicken Rick. He also goes by Chicky, Chicken Little or Chicken Little Richard, Dirty Rotten Thief, Chomps, Lil Ricky, Ricardo and sometimes asshole.

Here are a few I've read or have on my TBR list.

Finished Land by Maggie O'Farrell this weekend and yes, it's worth the hype. I'm a late arriver to Maggie's work and now I need to read everything she's written. Beautiful and immersive writing.

Some albums I've been enjoying and a special call out for Caley Watts and Lizzie No and friends Outlaws' Almanacs as ones you don't want to miss.

Just started singin "looking at the night clouds" like Seeger's Night Moves

Duanne Betts with the sweet acoustic Allman Bros jams

Lol at my nerdy ass trying to find a hat to wear but realizing my sunglasses look silly with everything.
