So you expect us to do our own research? Look for clues?? NOT have information spoon-fed to us??? Fine.

'Backup Brunette' would be a good porn name...or a roller derby character.
Molly's writing group story about the tables sound like it could have been an episode of Community.🤣
I know you're disappointed folks don't email you...but I don't recall either of you actually providing that address during your weekly closing... Have I missed that?
So...what if Viki isn't REALLY out of town, but just SAID so, because she didn't want to be held accountable for writing this week? Hmmmm?? (I'm just asking questions...)
Here are three originals to add: 1. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project (aka "We're All Gonna Die...In Horrible Ways!" youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) Please listen...and share. Thank you! 🙂
We call that spot the Love Puddle...
Nuance is wasted on the criminally ignorant.
From what I've seen, pedophilia is likely PART of their agenda...
"Procurement Agent" 🤢
That graph looks suspiciously like his signature...a perfect picture of the epicenter of crime in DC!
youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: How does this most-UNlikeable politician NOT have shoes thrown at him on a daily basis?
I'm so proud.
In that case, the word you're looking for is... .....drummer. (rim shot!)
Props to Michael Welch! He really DID go all-in! And good answers! What a great sport! Also, I remember the Angelyne (the billboard queen) story he mentioned. Hollywood, man...
Nice segue--from talking about writing sex scenes, to 'pounding out' Fight Club. 🤣
I'm really proud of you wimmens for embracing your creative goals, and working towards them!
Maybe the 'magic' of a 1st book is that it is a reveal--it surprises in a delightful NEW way (via tone, plot, setting, characters, dialogue, whatever). With a 2nd book, we now have expectations...and will compare/contrast. No one talks about 'love at second sight'; that first look holds power.
Philanthropy = LITERALLY 'giving it away' If your Cam Girl wasn't 'giving it away', she's no philanthropist!
Would 'gigolo' suffice?
My favorite new mocking word: Villainaires (pronounced 'vill-yun-airs'?)
"American" only in the sense that they LITERALLY 'take advantage' of cheap, foreign labor.
Golden ballroom = Attempted distraction from #47 being Epstein's good buddy and 'frequent flyer' Keep up the pressure. Call your reps: "Politicians who DON'T push for the release of the unredacted Epstein files appear as if THEY have something to hide. Are YOU publicly calling for their release?"
It is...but audiences are more scattered than they used to be (across platforms). My efforts: 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) Please listen...and share. Thank you! 🙂
That's because OUR busy-ness interferes with the time needed to make our men sammiches! (Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Fuck that shit!!)
"Ethics of any kind is an automatic disqualifier." - ICE (Yes, I made that up. But it's still kind of true.)
How does this Most-Unlikeable Politician NOT get shoes thrown at him on a daily basis?
It's in this song: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
Are we all memorizing ONE important book, to keep it alive in our hidden colony in the woods?
Completely heinous.
"I AM RAGING LIKE AN UNHINGED LUNATIC!!!!" Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Songwriters are doing our part, too! 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) Please listen...and share. Thank you! 🙂

We NEED to hear this mispronunciation of 'penguin'.
I think your Hubster and I would vacation well together: "Go! Go! Go!" You--and mine--can stay home, sleep in, and enjoy doing NOTHING!! 😆
Re: creative fear. We vacillate between "I'm afraid" & exhaustion about caring what others think. Either end can be dangerous to creativity...but I believe honest 'art' ultimately abandons reaction anticipation. Put it out there; it'll float or it won't. Art--good OR bad--takes courage. #FuckIt
Loving the mumu conversation. Also the whole motivation segment--both hilarious!
- Survey taken by all U.S. Speakers of the House, from their closets.
Does this also impact the blood flow to his brain? Because THAT'S certainly not been working well for YEARS...
Giggling: "Oh, Daddy--you're such a perv!" 🤮
Nicely done! They're no 'Ballad of Jeff and Donny', but these are my own musical resistance contributions: 1. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) 2. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 3. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) Best wishes with Swamplandia!
Hats off to these courageous musicians! Truth delivered in a tasty listening experience!!
Has anyone told the nearby alligators about the steady foot traffic here...?
#Iceholes
5. "You click on it. It's a link." 😂
You are *so* weird. 😆
4. Vikki for Director of Anti-Marketing. Perfect deadpan shutdown on the question of 'fans' obtaining your merch. 😂
3. The wheel--hilarious!
2. The speed with which Steph leaped between suggesting Nathan make a sound clip of his questionable offer to drink your companion podcasters' urine, to the even more-bizarre suggestion of putting that sound clip in a Build-A-Bear... was...? (Should I be proud...or notify a therapist?)
Watching the vid-- 1. Wesley, calmly talking about 'doing the crimes' and 'watching the victims' faces', just veered off into serial killer vibe. 🤣 Neighbor: "But he seemed so NORMAL...!"
Definitely not! And I make that point (among others) in this 'fun' little song: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
Writing songs like THIS: 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI )
Commiserating with songs such as these: 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI )
I'm writing songs like this: 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) Please share if these resonate with you. Thx!
I'm calling it 'sangry'...
If irony were a song: youtu.be/g368zkuqruM
I'm exercising my First Amendment rights this Fourth: 1. I Love America ( youtu.be/g368zkuqruM ) 2. Foreign Invasion ( youtu.be/EDLcBmW4TtQ ) 3. The Goth Folk Hedonistic Nihilism Project ( youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI ) Please listen...and share. Thank you! 🙂
JFC! We really *are* living the movie Idiocracy...
Stay with this one; it gets better throughout. (Very Schoolhouse Rock-y)
I'd appreciate if people would make time to watch this ironic little piece, too: youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?... (Thank you for the recommendations!)
I'll 'observe' the Fourth...by exercising my First (Amendment rights)...before going home to open a fifth... but I'll not 'celebrate'. youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?...
"Where have you gone, America?" Please watch to the end...and share if you, too, are disgusted with what's happened to our country. youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?... #IndependenceDay #fourthofjuly
Unbelievably, I'd already written this song BEFORE the Terrible Ms. Ernst uttered her infamously awful quote: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
I hear you. This song/video describes the disconnect between what we were fed in school decades ago-vs-today's reality. youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?... (Feel free to share if it resonates with you.)
Thank you. Following back. 🙂
I have a song (I'll Be Blue with You) that addresses that: youtu.be/AWNKHnVxZDI?... My friends who have suffered from depression says the song resonates.
This song is a love letter to my country. I'm SO disappointed. And angry. And fighting mad. youtu.be/g368zkuqruM?...
I was going to wait until July 4 but in light of what we're facing this week, this song/video premiere will take place at 10pm (Eastern) tonight. I hope you'll watch "I Love America". I'd be grateful for your comments (and shares): youtu.be/g368zkuqruM
Shouldn't EVERY conversation/correspondence with gov't. reps, GOP members, etc. begin with the question, "What is WRONG with you??" Because, really, ALL of their policies stem from their willing abandonment of basic principles of decent humanity. The phrase "brood of vipers" comes to mind...

'Gator Gulags. I wonder if the 'gators will demonstrate today their OWN objections to this invasion of their territory...?
This 'vault' is a metaphor for the U.S.A.

Perhaps the inability to look into a mirror & perceive its truth is one of the qualifications for MAGA membership? Beauty is subjective...but most of us can see when our attempts at 'change for the better' have failed us. At that point, it's time to look inward. (Beauty fades; delusion is forever.)
Congrats to Emma Brockes on a great article...and for candidly and accurately naming the thing I've been struggling to describe--that 'Mar-A-Lago aesthetic' of MAGA women, along with the disdain both for women and their natural bodies that *it* embodies. Well done, Emma, Venice, et all!

"Fiction and LACK of Focus". Srsly, fun episode. It really is all about the journey and the human thoraxes we meet along the way, right? Good job, gang. (And, you're welcome I nixed that wallpaper. See? Moms are old; we know stuff. But mostly our wisdom comes from surviving our own bad decisions. 😉)
SOME of us have 'two wolves' inside us; others have a wolf and a chicken...
Wait--you were guests...on a podcast called Fiction and Focus...? FOCUS??? Our delightful, lovely, and fun, squirrel-brained hosts were talking about WRITING FOCUS?? "Heh-heh-heh," (says the woman who is intentionally avoiding her own current project)...
"We have always been at war with Eastasia."
AND this administration continues to recklessly stumble into new, even more horrible ways to put us all in peril. (Some of those ways are listed in this song: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?... ) If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna go out laughing at them. (More than *just* cruel--they're also WEIRD!)
How about reassigning all those cos-playin' Iceholes to fight the war this administration is trying to get us into? Hell, I'll buy the first one's plane ticket!
ROAD TRIP!!!!!
Gosh! If only she'd worn that mask they tried to give her before she entered the facility!
#CreeksideTales Creekside Critter!!!! I don't normally visit Creekside until evening...but I was working this morning in The South Forty and espied movement near the bank. (Bonus: There's a sibling!! [Other than odor in the air, there's no sign yet of Mom.] More pics later!)
Yep. And those of you who voted GOP in the past? Your votes helped get us to this awful moment in our country's history. Seriously--repent. Now you know better...so DO better. Vote for only VETTED Democrats (i.e., no more Manchins/Sinemas)!
#CreeksideTales One of the catbirds was out tonight. They're great imitators. It was making a different sound as it chirped. I listened, trying hard to make out its new call. I could swear it was chirping, "No kings! No kings!" (Pic is just for fun; this is NOT a catbird.)
Well, enjoy this as you drive around: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
Well, it's not Schoolhouse Rock...but you *may* find yourself singing along... youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
Happy #ObamaAppreciationDay !! THIS was a true Leader!
Thank you for "standing with us"! (You guys would do an amazing version of this: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?... )
THIS is the kind of heart-warming content I need to see today. Families such as hers should NOT have to be afraid to live here.
Some stand and hold signs. Others write letters. Some of us are writing songs. The echoed song at the BOTTOM of this post made me cry. (If you want one that might make you laugh, try: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?... )
Same. youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
#CreeksideTales At deep dusk, a 4ft side-striped snake moved cross-current, atop the water near the far bank. So MAYBE it was a line of baby ducklings following their mother? Research says it ALSO could have been a milksnake. (sample photo) “I’ll go with ‘ducks’,” I said, whistling in the dark...
I love your comedy, Trae. Keep truthin' in that beautiful accent of yours! P.S. I thought you might appreciate this: youtu.be/JAbuaOUMjKI?...
