Any of y’all ever use an online prescription glasses site? If so, which site, and how was your experience with said site?

Most upsetting gif.

Oh my god this is killing me. I want to hang this gif on the wall of wear it on a shirt.

I can’t stop watching it, it’s magical

This might be my favorite gif in a very long time.

I would follow a Tumblr that was nothing but sewing-pattern people gifs.

Groove on sistafriend

The headbob in the back is my favorite.

I don’t know why… but… I can’t stop watching this…

…

I think I’m going to miss Game of Thrones…

As I’ve been having a lot of ask box conversations lately, I thought I should explain why I almost always respond with another submission to an asker’s box instead of directly answering the submission themselves, privately or publicly.

When I stopped posting stuff everyday a few years ago, I let my messages pile up, mostly because I like to keep certain ones. For instance, one of you sent me the loveliest birthday message (hi Apricotica!), and I didn’t want to respond to it because Tumblr then deletes it from my ask box. Screw that, I wanted to keep it.

Also, I’m weird, and I kinda want to see how many messages I can pile up.

Anyway, sorry if anyone finds this annoying.

I’ve been doing a bit of transcription work lately, and I have found myself routinely turning down jobs where the speaker, or one of the speakers, has an Indian accent. I can never seem to understand them enough to feel confortable working on those jobs.

Is this some kind of weird form of racism? Are my ears racist? Or should I be applauded for turning down a payday if I can’t trust myself to do a good job? I feel like I at least should feel bad about this.

You can bid on this one-of-a-kind and very nicely packaged book of tweets compiled by the lovely @rachow. Proceeds go to a really terrific cause. In addition to Who Cares people like myself this also includes handwritten pages from folks like Patton Oswalt, Weird Al, Jason Biggs and Ike Barinholtz!

Bid here. Fair warning, I will try to outbid you.

I had a moment of weakness and bid on this baby. Right before I realized that I can’t afford it. Luckily someone immediately outbid me. Yay! but also, aww…

I’m going to be very jealous of whoever gets this thing, but also very proud of you, you do-gooder, you.

Blood drives are being held tomorrow. There are a lot of injuries being reported, at least 200 the last I read, so if you can, consider donating.

Information hotline: 254-202-1100

Places nearby to give blood can be found here.

Housing for those displaced by the evacuations can be found here.

Stay safe.

Dear Tumblrites,

I need your vote! The first chapter of my book has been published on Jukepop Serials. But in order for me to parlay that into any sort of clout with the publishing industry, I have to show that I was able to generate interest.

You don’t have to read the chapter. All you have…

I voted, and I hated turning the Facebook apps platform back on (I don’t use it at all otherwise), but I did it for Claudia (and immediately turned it the fuck back off), and so can you! Please take a minute and give her your vote. Thank you!

I’m collecting all of my old music writing there. I’ll add new posts for a while. And then I’m going to stuff it all into an ebook and promise everyone a first born child if they buy it. Or, you know, just some decent reading material.

I know I should buy a real domain and not keep it on tumblr but this is where it’s going to be for now. It’s just easier.

So there it is. My new music blog. Writing for free because it’s a means to an end, I guess. And I’m hoping this gets my music writing out there more than Forbes did (let’s face it, very few people wanted to click on to the Forbes website), and I’ll have the freedom to write about what I want to write about and when I want to write about it.  Basically, it’s going to be me waxing nostalgic about old albums. Like retroactive reviews or something. I’ll be writing there once or twice a week.

I still have to fix the site up and add links and stuff, but here it is in the raw, with some of my Forbes writing on it. More to come. Much more. I’m kind of excited about music writing again.

So please follow and pass along, etc.

Follow.
