I had a Scottish fiddle gig last week, but tonight I got to go out and experience the Tartan Army recreationally with @knitandlisten.bsky.social, @sigmabeta.bsky.social, a Livejournal friend from 25 years ago, and a trad fiddle friend from recently. Peak boston experience

this is a picture of my British friend at a festival in Virginia. He was so excited to visit his first American grocery store

A man is beaming in the middle of a supermarket aisle. In one hand he holds like a 16-pack of Miller High Life cans and in the other, a giant plastic jar of cheese puffs. He looks like he just won the lottery.

I promised @doodlyroses.com that I would find this thing I made years ago and so here I am, posting it on main

I completely forgot to say that my favorite part about the MFA’s recent Winslow Homer exhibition was the little exhibition-specific gift shop, filled with this insane combination of books the museum thought you would like if you enjoyed Winslow Homer’s paintings

ok this was the funniest possible answer and it’s not 100% accurate but “it would be just like what happened to my close friend Mon Mothma” is a sentence I recently said in relation to my dating life

I’d like to thank everyone in the discord server where I periodically post “LISTEN UP, NERDS, explain [video game I’m about to play a concert for] to me”

every four years while watching Olympic figure skating i bring back my greatest twitter hit, also feat. @petridishes.bsky.social

tweet from Alexandra Petri saying "I wish there were more activities that combined blasting classical music with shouting OH NO at intervals" with a quote tweet from me saying "I have some good news about my daily routine in the practice room"

Senator Charles Sumner and Julia Ward Howe agree

many minutes of sleuthing later, i found it!

tweets from user funkyiambs from 2021 saying:

GASTON (2024): A young man, played by Timothèe Chalamet, watches his mother suffocate under the weight of a bookcase that he is too weak to lift off of her.

EXT. SMALL COTTAGE
ENTER GASTON READING PROUST

GASTON: Ah, no one reads like Gaston!

(Crash within)

CUT TO:
INT. PARLOR
MOTHER TRAPPED BY FALLEN BOOKSHELF. ENTER GASTON.

GASTON: (lifting) I am not strong enough!

MOTHER: (gasping) If only—you were roughly—the size of—a barge.

When you see this, post an image from your gallery to describe your mental health. Found these mid-century lobotomy tools in a drawer while I was playing a house concert tonight and it seems about right

this is from the Robb biography but my sister owns another book that goes into much more detail (though possibly not particularly facts-based, as she picked it up—AS A BIT—from a bookstore with a large occult section). I’ll try to find some funny excerpts from that too

Text from Graham Robb’s Victor Hugo saying, “When darkness filled the house and the only sound was the whispering sea, one world dissolved into the other. References in the sexual account books to 'incubi' and 'succubi' may not mean that Hugo was a practising necrophiliac, but the thought was there. A servant who had known him sexually 'returned' several times after her death and gave rise to a short but pregnant entry in the diary: '+! prayer’.

RIP Victor Hugo you would have loved RFK Jr’s sexts

Sext from Victor Hugo to Juliette-Joséphine Gauvain: “On 26 February 1802, I awoke to life; on 16 February 1833, I awoke to love. My mother made me, and you created me. . . . I was suckled by my mother, who was my nurse; I drank your soul from your lips, and you were also my nurse, for you filled me with perfection”

Text from me: “uh you know how I keep saying I wish I could follow up Tom Bombadil and Yet Another Lay of Gil-galad”

Friend: yes

Friend: have you been struck with inspiration

Me: it just happened and it’s so cursed

Quote post with a dramatic B&W of you Easy! This was my best headshot for ten years until I replaced it this week with some new ones (incl the one in my profile pic)
