Mapsandkeys, same as the other place

I've gotten all these new followers and familiar faces showing up lately, and I love it. In lieu of introductions, do one thing for me: Give me MUSIC. Any genre, any era, any artist. Songs, whole albums, people not to miss live, I want it all.

"you've got a lot of rules for a theater kid" Lestat reading Armand for filth while creating the biggest bop of a diss track is just living in my head this week.

Please sir, my Bosstones, they are Mighty Mighty, and my Day, it is Green.

An ad came on during the Mariners game that said, "dads are just kids who grew up and had kids." I was too thrown to notice what the ad was for, but I do know no company anywhere has ever said that about moms. Not once.

Jeopardy really just referred to Rihanna as "a lingerie model." This is how we know none of us are working there.

Has anyone else watched The Vampire Lestat? Did anyone else recoil at the mention of floorboards?

You know what's wild? Perimenopausal women and Black women in general, we pretty much run on rage and creative solutions. And we don't go on rampages through public spaces that result in body bags. I think about that fact a lot.

Y'all, I met Mick Foley last. WWE legend Mick Foley. He's kind, funny, and if he and his wife ever came asking, I'd be their unicorn feral housewife in a hot second. Which I also might have kind of blurted out. During the Q&A. In front of God and everybody. And he still hugged me.

Once again on Threds and today, someone implied I look old based on a photo I took last summer. Now keep in mind I wear zero makeup, it was 80odd degrees, and I was at an open air rooftop bar. At 45 years old, and not a filer in sight.

Something I’m tired of? I’m tired of seeing men head coaching woman’s sports and no women head coaching men’s sports. I’m tired of a woman’s place is the kitchen and men being notable chefs. This shit needs fixing.

@feclad.bsky.social I learned today that our least favorite queer singer's real name is Kayleigh. I think this explains absolutely everything.

What's buried in the article is the $1.5 mil was spread between 1500 stores for a whopping $1000/store. So maybe $50 per employee, but I guarantee managers rewarded themselves first, then regular employees. Five Guys CEO says he gave a $1.5m bonus www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Timothée Shallow-met really needs to recognize there are fiftyleven other generic white boys ready to take his place and stop running his mouth about things he doesn't understand.

In the middle of the country continuing to be a dumpster fire, I'm clinging to live music. Bourbon & Beyond is one way I'm spending September, if outside is still a place by then.

I overslept and missed my therapy appointment only to wake up and find out the WH is attacking trans kids and adults, and we're about to host The Hunger Games. Neat.

I’ve modernized two biblical stories about feeding people. Hopefully the nasty Christians who are disparaging SNAP recipients and laughing about them going hungry will learn

Can someone please explain the point of the No Kings rallies to me? What exactly is the demand being made? Gathering is all well and good, but it's not a movement unless there's a focused, actionable gain being sought and pursued, with contemporaneous, concordant action beyond the event.

Sweeps exacerbate homelessness — they can be traumatic, dangerous, and leave people without belongings and vital records. Unhoused people need housing and services, not sweeps.

I come from and have chosen a family of artists. This is some of the most egregious cultural bullshit yet from this WH. Well, since the takeover of the Kennedy Center, anyway. Smithsonian artists and scholars respond to White House list of objectionable art : NPR share.google/ViYwlzBdkNHR...

@alyssonfergison.com look what showed up in my Google news feed! It means the story is getting some statewide traction if not nationally. Disabled Muncie woman, daughter face abrupt eviction from apartment | wthr.com share.google/gaxoZxFRuNII...

Y'all remember when Michelle Obama was called everything but a child of God for wanting to improve school lunches and building a garden? But a white man with fucking brain worms can do this. RFK Jr. promotes a food company that makes ultraprocessed meals | AP News share.google/MuPWS2j0yZag...

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Switched phones and I found out I have priority notifications set up on here, so if I don't follow you, I don't see you replying to me. I'm sorry to anyone engaging in good faith for seeming to ignore you.
