Having trouble deciding which books to buy from Amazon during Prime Days?
Try this: None, then go support an independent bookstore instead. 😌

@rhellbilly.bsky.social I finally bought a modern MP3 player partly because you've posted about yours. (I got the hiby r1). Holy shit what an awesome experience. Other than that it's made me lose my phone today.
Ive fooled around with an old iPod and a Bluetooth adapter but this is so much better

The red macadam album is maybe the best album out of this incredibly packed fall season. I rate McAdam and Noel McKay's two albums as my current number one, Chasen Wayne slightly above Ian Noe, and there are still dozens of releases I didn't get to yet.

Did a late night drive to a scenic overlook in the mountains. Ran over some kind of roadkill that was already dead and very bloody. Got home and realized it was a skunk and now it's all over my tires. It is skunky inside my vehicle now.
