🎵 This may be my favorite concert t-shirt since Tori Amos’ Under the Pink tour shirts. Neko Case’s show was great. Ran into two friends: one I think I unknowingly offended a year ago and another who used to call me Tardy Tammy when we waited tables together. Not inaccurate.

Read more🎵 Tonight we are at the Neko Case concert because the Neko Case concert is tonight. Not last Saturday. Like I thought when it was last Saturday and I got all showered and dressed for a Neko Case show what was not being happening that night. Because it is tonight.

TORI AMOS 1994
🎹 Today is the anniversary of my first concert: Tori Amos’s 1994 Under the Pink tour in Cincinnati. She walked on stage, sat down at the grandest piano, played and repeated a single note for a while and then began singing, “…What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you stand up and walk out on me? Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song…”

Read moreHey, Utah Republicans! Not satisfied with achieving the nation’s first statewide book ban? Seriously drink every drop of this big cup of shut the f-k up, sit the f-k down, and mind your own f-ing business.

Read moreWatched the pilot/fist episode of Pushing Daisies the other night. I forgot how entirely exquisitely exquisite in its entirety that show is. The symmetry, the super saturation, the finitely infinite, the pie, the pi. And omfg I just realized pi is short for private investigator and now I’m dead 😵

Read moreI decided to go dark on LinkedIn for a while what with the talking to I got. Honestly it doesn’t even matter to me. What mortified me was the idea of my boss talking to her boss about me. I don’t ever want to put my boss in the position of having to defend hiring me. That should never, ever happen.
Read moreWatching a great webinar on when training is appropriate and when it isn’t. I accidentally made the presenter crack up a little by making a (relevant) quip about Iron Man in the chat. “I was trying keep a straight face through this but Matthew you got me,” he said through kind laughter. 🤷🏻♂️

POLITICAL POSTS AND POLITICS DON’T MIX ON LINKEDIN
Today my boss’s boss had a talk about me because of my overtly partisan and political posts on LinkedIn which someone outside of my workplace brought to someone inside of my workplace’s attention. And so I was told I’m not technically breaking a rule but… I get it and am going to tone it down and set posts to private. But I will say this here: if awful Republicans didn’t do awful things like ban books and ignore climate change and control women’s bodies and lie and gerrymander and try to nullify my marriage and suppress votes and disenfranchise voters and stack supreme courts and thoughts and prayers and misogyny and racism and transphobia and tampons in schools and also go right along with an authoritarian fascist racist orange turd bag who lies and lies and only lies, then I wouldn’t have anything to post about in the first place on LinkedIn, now would I?
