new job & i must finally learn to drive the hated Automobile, after >30 years of relying on public transit & friends. its sad… but today i started a car for the 1st time & the radio was playing a song saying "here comes carrie!" which was nice. maybe i can forgive myself & try to find what fun i can

i was expecting some homosexual subtext in “War and Peace” by Leo Tolstoy, because that’s just what happens in classic literature, but i'm halfway thru and was really not expecting it to have multiple background transgender people and a t4t romance???
(spoilers for book 5:chapter 13, & 7:4, & 7:11)
carrie's self-promotion post:
there's still time to be the 3rd person to solve, or the 13th or so person to listen to and enjoy, what is universally lauded as the most delectable musical album of the last several months (if not years): that beloved crossword album known only as “Puzzles of 2025”.

40 track album
this more straight-ahead post-bop album from JJW is also incredible imo... nice sound from her group, Eddie Henderson in particular - JJW has a real good sense of registers - sometimes she plays real fast - out of nowhere she does a spoken word piece about christ's sexual energy - etc

14 track album
