Never understood why people think what they do for a living reflects their importance. I was raised to believe that a job is a job and anyone getting up and going to work deserves the same respect, whether they pick up trash or run the company. Good for your mom! Respect!
My daddy passed away tonight. He was my best friend. Everything that is good about me is because of him. My heart will always have a hole that can never be filled. I will love and miss you forever, Daddy. ❤️

What a horrible thing to say! No wonder Neil Young hates you.
Crosby should write an introspective book: ‘Why People Won’t Talk to Me Anymore.’” — Neil Young

Someone stole my purse once, including my phone. I called my phone and they answered. We actually had a pleasant chat where I congratulated them on being the new owners of a Coach purse, $200 cash and my phone. Asked that they simply mail my driver’s license back. They did. Lol

I just rescued a woodpecker. The rehab said birds should be brought in immediately instead of left to recover. Obviously you didn’t know that but I’m posting this for others to read. Take them in immediately!

Exactly this. People who want to "move on" are saying their comfort/convenience has more value than the lives of those who are weaker than them. I believe it was Mahatma Gandhi who said, 'the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members".
I just said goodbye to the love of my life. Absolute hardest thing I’ve ever done. But I’m grateful he could pass peacefully in my arms at home. Rest easy, Troopie Baby. I’ll find you one day and we will play in the green fields again. You were the best boy. ❤️
I’ve gotten flack from people about my trip. My trip didn’t cost nearly as much as some people think. Here’s the deal: I don’t have kids, I don’t have a big mortgage, car payments, debt, gadgets, etc. I work hard. I save. It amazes me how people can’t be happy for others.

I’m just sharing what the SWVirginiaWildlife Center told me last week when I took a pileated woodpecker in. They are ecologists and veterinarians so I defer to their expertise. The Audubon society suggests the same as birds go into shock quickly and die.
The final 15 miles are today. I’m excited but also a wee bit emotional about it ending. I’m windburned, exhausted, and ready to sleep in a little. I’d also kill to soak in a tub. But I’ll miss the peace that comes with walking solo across such beautiful, empty spaces.
30 and up, drop a picture with you age
36 ((still feel young and dumb)) ((also! Full body shot so you can peep my awesome shoes!))((also also! Don’t let anyone piss in your cornflakes if you want to dress a certain way. Age doesn’t matter. Do what you want!))
Going to bed before I die from crying. Here is one of my favorite photos of Trooper. I promise I won't make every post about him but I miss him already & my heart is imploding inside my chest. Thank you for the love, Twitter. It helped me get through the worst day. Hug your dogs
Today is my 49th birthday (Equinox baby!). It’s shocking because I feel 29. I’m so thankful for another year of life though. Life is a gift and growing old is such a privilege. I have such a wonderful life! I never want to forget that.

I love

No matter how weird or alone you feel, there’s something electrifying to know all across the world there are people listening, at the same time, to the very songs that breathe life into your soul. Thanks Tim for hosting my shoegaze gods,

Because it amuses me…
Im pairing a lovely Viognier from Paso Robles with The Smiths. I’m on a big Viognier kick as of late and I’ve been on a Smiths kick since 1987.

When I was at the Lennon Wall, I asked a chick to take my pic. But at the last minute, I had a feeling that she was about to run off with my phone. This is the result 🤣🤣🤣 # CantMakeThisUp
I did it! I made it to the end and serendipity! I reached the end the same time another group did and guess what? They’re from Virginia. We had celebratory drinks together! What a great end to an amazing adventure.
My mom’s bday is Sunday. She’d have been 69. She died at 45 years, 6 months, 2 days. On Wednesday, I’ll have outlived her. I’ve had this date in my head for 23 years. It’s strange to end up older than the person who created me. Makes me determined to squeeze the marrow from life
I was vaccinated six weeks ago. My 80 year old dad was vaccinated two weeks ago.
Today I hugged him and gave him a kiss on the cheek for the first time in a year. ❤️

When I get stung by bees, I’m fine. I can’t understand how people have allergic reactions and die from bee stings. Never happened to me.
That’s how absurd your comment is.
This trip gets better and better. Went to Hansa Studios and stood where Bowie recorded Heroes. The window is where he looked out to see Tony kissing near the wall, with the guard tower in sight. Then went to the mixing room to listen to Heroes (and Depeche Mode). 🤩
Possible cancer but they’re sending tests off to experts.💔 In the meantime he’s getting meds & LOTS of snuggles. Thanks for the good vibes. If you follow me for even half a second, you know this creature is everything to me. I just want him to have a good, happy, pain-free life
I’ve told the story before but The Clash changed my life. I saw this video when it came out. I think I was 8 years old. I turned to my mom and said, “I want to be like them!”

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Andy Rourke after a lengthy illness with pancreatic cancer.
Andy will be remembered as a kind and beautiful soul by those who knew him and as a supremely gifted musician by music fans.
We request privacy at this sad time
At the hospital with my dad. Waiting to talk to a doctor.
My dad is everything to me. I’d rip my own heart out if it would help him. Keep sending good vibes, please.
We laid my dad to rest next to my momma. I know it’s the natural order of things but it doesn’t make it any easier. When I got home, as soon as I sat down on my porch, a sweet, little hummingbird flew right up to me & hovered. Since I’m looking for signs, I’ll assume this is one.
Two years ago today, I kissed my ride or die goodbye forever. My heart is still broken. To love a dog is to feel immense joy but also immense sorrow. He was the best boy.
Top 10 Bands I’ve seen: (random order)
The Jesus and Mary Chain
My Bloody Valentine
The Cure
Slowdive
Lush
Pixies
New Order/Hooky (I’m lumping them together)
Psychedelic Furs
IDLES
English Beat
I was listening to this on the morning I found my dad on the floor, dying from a massive stroke. The trauma of that day prevented me from listening to it or even looking at the cover, for that matter. I decided to stop hiding from the monsters & played it today. It still slaps.
Weird how one person dies and everything changes. No Thanksgiving dinner for me this year (no family) so I’m going to hit the Appalachian Trail and forge my own new traditions.
#HikingIsTheNewTurkeyAndStuffing
Went to Cortex Records in Kreuzberg. It specializes in punk and hardcore. I felt 16 again! You can buy beer there and stand outside and drink. I didn’t but some skins were. If it had been wine, I probably would’ve spent the night. 😆

Just chopped all my hair off (okay 4 inches) but I dig it. Went to a new stylist and honestly, it may have been the best cut of my life because she didn’t speak to me unless it was necessary. ZERO SMALL TALK!
I’m gutted to hear about the death of Sinead O’Connor. Her music was such a powerful influence in my life. I admired her so much! She was open about her mental health struggles despite cruel mockery. She was also unafraid to stand up to the Catholic church when no one else would.
Twitter friends, thank you for the outpouring of love and sympathy. I’m so touched. In due time, I’ll respond individually if I can. But until then please accept my gratitude for wrapping me up in so much love. ❤️
I’m exhausted by the weather. It’s been hard work and so stressful. However, I’m grateful I have electricity, a bottle of wine, and A Charlie Brown Christmas album. Brings back warm memories of happy days as a kid. Thoughts going out to those not as fortunate. ❤️
I just told my class that I call Santa at the end of the day to give a detailed report on their behavior. Kid just looked straight at me and said "Snitches get stitches". 🤣🤣🤣😮
Update: rollercoaster of a day. Neurology came in and said they see hopeful signs and they’re not sure why the other doctor said the other stuff. Today, eyes closed, he stroked his mustache with purpose and also opened his eyes and smiled at me. Not giving up hope for my daddy.
Today’s my momma’s birthday. She would’ve been 70 but she died of cancer at 45. I’m 46. It’s heartbreaking to think of all the living she missed out on. She loved music.I think my love for it began with her. She loved Patsy Cline and Marty Robbins so tonight I’ll listen for her.
