On this show, I play a song from The Arts and Sciences; I spent one of my best nights out seeing The Arts and Sciences open for the Indigo Girls; I am currently taking a beekeeping certification course; I will be buying two nucs of bees plus lots of gear; I believe your garb should be politically neutral in unrelated public outreach; I made a Mastodon post that got an atypically large response and yet did not enjoy it; the anti-trans talking points of today were popularized by Jeffrey Epstein 15 years ago; I got Github Actions working to build and publish this here Eleventy site; I added search to this here Eleventy site; I enjoy the Vito X Dino podcast but had to protect myself from large episode dumps; is milk violence and is that a serious position? I was and am a fan of Harvey Pekar but my one chance to meet him I chickened out; I used to work rotating shifts in a chemical factory; XMas week was the best work week of the year; I read the Harvey Pekar story "Snow Day" at work in almost the identical situation Harvey was in for the story.
