But only for the articles, right?

Now this is high-class Kinja.

So glad to read you & the tiny one are relatively unscathed! Lovely shots.

I’ve never seen Titanic and I’ve no plans to do so.
I’ve posted a couple of times around the Kinja/Jez-verse about this new-ish band I’ve recently started enjoying: COUNTERFEIT. Well, on Wednesday they announced that they’ve split up. I am ridiculously sad about this. They had a 5-year life and released only one Studio…

These fuckers really need to listen to Joe Talbot of IDLES.

Everybody! If you’re a Twitterer, go now and follow Sarah Kendzior . If you’re a podcast consumer, listen to her podcast Gaslit Nation. If you’re a reader go buy her book Hiding in Plain Sight. She’s a frelling Cassandra.

Being born to & raised by my mother, Feminist Extraordinaire. Every bit of my politics comes from her, even though she died when I was 13. All these decades later I still feel her guiding me. She was intersectional before it was a broadly discussed concept. For her equal rights weren’t worth pursuing if only a…

The news about Sinéad saddens me. One of her shows was the first concert I went to without anyone from my family joining me, when I was 14 or 15, at some nightclub on (I think) South Great George’s Street in Dublin. A bunch of us from school went up from Waterford on one of our home weekends. She was talented &…

You’re welcome. It had a short run, only about a year - year and a half.

The longer the GSA admin lady takes to release the transition money and issue government email addresses the longer it’ll be before Biden/Harris can start getting their full intelligence briefings. 

Now, now, goddess, Be Best.

It was made into a very well reviewed musical on the West End, which was also directed by Chadha, in ’15.

And you know, Biden & Colbert have this in common. Both are devout Catholics and both suffered great losses. Biden of his wife and daughter; Colbert of his father & two brothers in a plane crash. Both cleaved tightly to their faith during their grieving.

Shirley Chisholm was an incredible woman. You are very lucky to have a connection to her.

First in line: a woman from California.
(Likely) second in line: a woman from California.

For a couple months as teen (I was either 17 or 18) I hung out with these two dudes who were following the Dead around the NY/NJ/New England area. They were driving around in a VW microbus and selling tie-dyes and beers outside the shows. This was when arenas wouldn’t shoo such folks away. I’d meet the guys on the…

I’m going to give the new song a shot. I wish I could like AC/DC, but my Third Form roommate in HS (grade 9) played only AC/DC in our dorm room. Every morning, every afternoon, every night. For a year. I think, even all these decades later I suffer from over-exposure. We worked out a plan for sharing what we listened…

I’ll need to learn lo-fi. I’ve heard of them but not heard them that I’m aware of. Thanks for the rec.

Also watching Biden now. Never in my life did I think I’d tear up at hearing “my fellow Americans”, but here we are.

You’re quite welcome. From time to time I’ll get on an old(er) music kick. Often it’ll be heavily weighted to artists/bands like The Temptations or The Band or Robert Johnson or Thin Lizzy.
