I've been performing musically with some regularity for the last year or so, but this is only my 2nd ever long-ish form show. If you're in Pittsburgh, come hear me squeak my chair! One person called it "the Stradivarius of chairs." I might also make noise with a lil violin and some film canisters...

Along those lines: start using the word "historic" to describe any and every new publication.

They All Laughed is on my all-time shortlist for sure.

One of my favorite movies happens to be about exactly that!

my biggest pittsburgh flex is that i ate at the bootleg burger king

The warmup is nice, but it has me checking the forecast and realizing I've only got two or three days of guaranteed sweater weather for the foreseeable, and then frantically making a mental list of the excellent sweaters I've not worn enough this winter and need to squeeze in! #sweaterproblems

1) Torn Paper (Bailey Films)
2) Blazes (Robert Breer...in Kodachrome!)
3) Time Piece (Jim Henson)
4) Silent Snow, Secret Snow

Thanks for the kind words!

I 100% would have seen it in theaters, but I've been boycotting it since Melissa Barrera was fired. And then they just kept giving me more reasons to boycott it!

But I love a Snack Wrap, because it's like a glimpse into an alternate universe: what if McDonald's were Taco Bell?

Random Spirit Lover was back in my car CD rotation for much of January, and, yep, they still hold up! Realizing now that I've been listening for 20 years without the charm fading! I really need to listen to that new album. (Recommended?)

Ha, yeah, it does give this vibe out of context...

Crucial context there in the alt text! (And, yes, she is perfect!)

They're literally telling us imprisoning five-year-olds and kicking dogs are good things! The evilness of the US would be parodic if not so devastatingly consequential.

Pittsburgh Says: ICE OUT · Mobilize Pittsburgh says, "ICE Out!" Indivisible Pittsburgh and a coalition of Pittsburgh-based organizations know that Pittsburghers want to stand with the rule of law, our neighbors in Minnesota, and beyond....

Pittsburgh Says ICE Out!

Going through a hard drive I haven't spun in a while. I can't remember the original context of this tweet, aside from it getting me suspended from Twitter for a few days.

That did it. Thanks!

If you look on the back of the "Don't Tread on Me" flags, there is a ton of fine print.

Sitting here expecting to be overcome with my usual giddiness over snow, but my mood is ruined by ICE!

1:21 AM: snow has begun to fall in Pittsburgh

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
