Reubens are the best sandwich. @SpitefulBrewing is the best beer. I play yellow guitar in sewingneedle and Gerund.

As a culture we are stuck in really harmful cycle of reassurance.
my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick “if it drains you, it’s not for you. love, friendships, jobs, anything meant for you will nourish you, not exhaust you. 1/2

Bring him home. Charlotte legend.
Free agent center Mason Plumlee has agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets, sources tell ESPN. The Hornets get some frontcourt depth, completing a contract with Mark Bartelstein of @PrioritySports for Plumlee's 13th NBA season.

We need an Americana instrument amnesty program now. Alternative bands are producing twangy slop like we've never seen.

Zubac is so good. Crazy to think this is his first triple-double. Go Clippers.

Who among us hasn’t done this
I saw an unmarked police car turn its lights on and pull a u-turn in the middle of Ashland Ave. It parks, and out comes Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle, walking to Redhot Ranch. Felt very Chicago.

My Cornstack is live. On there I'll post Chicago-based music corntent as often as the spirit leads (quarterly?). First up, a feature on Arts & Letters + interview with bandleader Joe Grazulis, whose fantastic retro pop album came out last week. cornbratllc.substack.com/p/a…

Paper Mice just released a three song EP of covers, each fronted on vox by different people. I sing one by Captain & Tennille, Miranda (Melkbelly) does ABBA, and NNAMDÏ sings Tina Turner. papermice.bandcamp.com/album…

My mailman sings on his route. You can hear him from blocks away. Neighbors text each other about what he’s singing, usually on Saturdays. Today he was ripping Creed’s “Higher.” Protect our boys in blue 📬

Sinai Vessel at the Hideout sounding like the platonic ideal of Coldplay. This moment rocked so hard.
