USAmericans. You’re on a road trip. What’s your gas station stop of choice? (Clean bathrooms, decent road trip snacks and drinks, etc.)
These are all abundant in the notes but special shout-out also to Maverik, Racetrac, Kum & Go, Sinclair’s, Wally’s, Arco, Valero, Family Express, Shell, Huck’s, Irving, Phillip’s 66, and Thornton’s
As one of those bitches who splurges on the expensive pasture raised eggs, I get some stupid sense of comfort because I think they're slightly immune to the violent fluctuations and limits that your regular eggs go through
#jello's word vomit#look i know im still paying hand over fist more to cleanse my conscience and that that's a luxury i can afford and not everyone can#and i dont even know how the price of my preferred eggs has changed in the last few years—#im sure they have!#but i feel nice when the regular eggs are limit 2 or whatever in the grocery store and mine are completely unaffected#if i chewed through eggs the way a lot of people do id be pretty frustrated rn I think

Humans'll really just see a random assortment of objects, say "Is anyone gonna make music with that," and not wait for an answer huh?

NO WAY
I’ve been doxxed 😨
I once worked on a phone campaign to disallow the trees around your crater from being cut down...
I am deeply deeply in love with you 💙 Thanks so much for your conservation effort!
It’s the small things we all do together that can make a big difference! 💙💙💙💙 And you’ve done it!!!
People just gotta know what Crater Lake and Wizard Island looks like
What in the Skyrim
been there several times. And yeah, Skyrim feels super duper Oregon in a lot of ways.
We gonna talk about Crater Lake, and Wizard Island and not mention the Old Man of the Lake?
The Old Man of the Lake is a log that floats around the lake. It is somewhat strange in that it floats vertically. It's roughly 30 feet tall, with only about 5 or so feet sticking out above the surface of the water. It was first 'offically' recorded in the early 20th century, though there are oral reports of it as far back as 1896 (and likely earlier still given the cultural importance of Crater Lake to the Klamath tribe of that area.
The Old Man should have rotted away long ago or at the very least become waterlogged and sank into the water fully, but nope. Over a hundred years, and there is this log still in the water just floating.
So y'know how I said the fact that it floats vertically was 'somewhat strange'? Let's get into some actual strange territory regarding the Old Man. It moves. Against the wind. It has been recorded moving in paths that do not make sense, never getting stuck on the shore of Wizard Island, nor the area of shore around the lake. Now that's strange.
So now let's get freaky: The free-floating Old Man posed a hazard to boats since it moves, and only a small portion of it was above water. (though personal boats are no longer allowed on the lake) Anyway, in 1988 a team was using a small submersible to explore the lake. The scientist figured it'd be a good idea to moor the Old Man near the coast of Wizard Island out of their way, for safety. So they tied some rope to it, to move the Old Man. As soon as they did so, the clear blue skies of a warm August day turned dark. The wind kicked up, bad, and it started to rain, then hail, then snow in the span of a few minutes...again in August. Now snow in that area is common, but not in the summer months. It gets super warm in that area in summer (like 70 to 90 degrees on average) So the scientists decided to nope the fuck out of the water, because of this freak storm. They unmoored the Old Man, preparing to get the fuck out of dodge of this summer snowstorm. As soon as the rope loosened and was in the water, as quickly as the storm had come on them, the darkened skies cleared and it was once more a fine sunny summer day.
As a kid, I spent my summers with my family who lives like... 40 some odd miles from Crater Lake National Park so I had this knowledge just kinda buried in my head somewhere.
I excitedly added a thing about the old man before I checked the notes so now I'm gonna reblog this great story instead but here is the old man!!!
"The Old Man floats vertically through the lake on a calm day"
"THE OLD MAN FLOATS. VERTICALLY. THROUGH THE LAKE ON A CALM DAY"
!!!!!!!!!!
Finally

And so this post floats back to me. Pure poetry.
Somehow no one has mentioned yet that Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the U.S, and the 10th deepest lake in the world. She Is Deep And Full Of Secrets guys, perfect wizard territory

Genuinely and unironically my philosophy abt music has expanded to “stop writing off music because it’s from a specific genre” and I think that could be applied to most mediums actually
Is country music really all bad or are you only catching snippets of christonationalist propaganda on the radio? Are horror movies always shallow torture porn or are you just thinking of trailers you saw for slasher movies? Are fantasy novels only for kids or was the last one you picked up Harry Potter? Is anime always fan service or are you just running into ecchi clips online over and over and over? Are you looking for good media or are you finding bad media and considering it representative?

I'll always talk up internet radio stations because I don't think the average person is aware that they're free, can run in your browser (or in any program that can connect to them), work on your phone, run better than a youtube tab, and give you a much better selection of music than you could get from a general algorithmic playlist
(also lots of them have live shows which you can tune into for free)
"oughh I follow this blog for weeb stuff not internet radio promo" here. gensokyo radio.
if u like folk and/or roots music: wumb.org !!! it is AD-FREE it has ZERO MORNING TALK SHOWS it is on air at 91.9 FM in the BOSTON AREA but streams WORLDWIDE on the WEB it is perfect.
big fan of soma.fm's selection, dozens of themed stations covering ambient, jazz, soul, punk, and a lot of electronica
Hey internet wanna help me find something? Waaaaaywayway back in 2011 I went to a wedding on the front range in Colorado. While in the vicinity we went to this amazing Moroccan(?) restaurant. Like, the kind where you sat on the floor on cushions, maybe even took your shoes off iirc, they brought orange water to the table so you could rinse your hands. The whole shebang.
Fucking amazing place. I have no memory of what it was called or precisely where it was. I have no photos from that excursion but I think I remember the mental snapshot well enough to be able to tell if I saw a different photo whether it was the same place or nah.
So like. Does this ring a bell for anyone out there?
#jello's word vomit#i think about that experience from time to time#there is a nonzero chance it was a place called mataam fez#but i remember going there on what kust have been a slow night and i certainly dont remember any belly dancers haha#also dont know if i saw any reference to the hand washing water. that part was crucial to me

#poll#bio oxygen generation and stunt mastery#i think i would do better as a circus performer but also at this rate it would take a hell of a lot to kill me so there's that#also tbh if they give me a lighter or a way to project fire i think i could Make It Work#particularly depending on how the invaders feel about oxygen
