sophie cunningham is a perfect representation of why the left needs to push back against anti-trans candidates within dem ranks; if you cut that off at the head, then you won't see the "i don't hate trans people, but" statements that further an anti-trans rhetoric that results in avoidable deaths

found an outdoor stray yowling in the backyard. brought it food + water, cleaned it up a bit, gave it lots of good attention, & sat with it while it slept on a windswept cushion. also snapped some candids, bc you gotta. enjoy this goofy, friendly guy.

A stray black-and-white cat with green-yellow eyes makes a silly expression. The eye to the left is half-closed, and its tongue is lolled out, while the right half of its mouth is tucked up as if in an extreme smile. A grassy background is in soft focus.

Tangential, but I love instances of weird numerical symmetry

Trying out Flashes and will be posting a lot more photos here as a result. Here’s a 2024 fav of @gougeawayfl.bsky.social to start. Best set I saw last year; made me fall in love with seeing/playing live music all over again.

Gouge Away’s Christina Michelle screaming her heart out into a microphone at X-Ray Arcade in Cudahy, WI. She is wearing a plaid dress and power-kneeling on the ground, with one arm driving into the floor for support, while the other holds the mic.

Joe Pera waves at the audience in front of Lake Superior. He is wearing khakis, a plaid button-up, and a long, dark coat. The band of a watch is visible on his waving hand. He has blond hair, is sporting glasses, and smiling.

looking forward to next time, still buzzing from last time. one from the collection:

Gouge Away's Christina Michelle crouches next to a half-stack to play a buttercream Jazzmaster. She is wearing a light yellow-and-black plaid dress, sheer stockings, and black boots with platform heels. One of the heels is lifted off the ground as she crouches. Her hair is over her eyes. She is smiling. A mic'd up bass drum takes up the far right of the image. A rack tom and ride are cut off by the image's border. The venue's stage floor shows significant wear.

Madison's music scene is consistently under-represented & under-served for an array of reasons. My job is to seek out & celebrate the music that's being made here. Our year-end coverage this year reflects the richness of Madison music. 95 selections, a few dozen more mentioned. Links below.

a screencap of a question asking "Atheists, imagine you're going skydiving with a Christian baby. Suddenly the baby tells you he won't open his parachute until you renounce atheism and accept Jesus as your lord and savior. What would you do?"
