Bluesky's favorite opera composer [citation needed]. Not tonal, not atonal, but a secret third thing. Posts about music, D&D, and loads of other nonsense. Adequate approximation of a teacher, if you squint | she/her | midwesterner in 🌉

It's surprising, because I feel like hosts are usually people you've heard of who have been in something

HAPPY BIRTHDAY but also BOOOO

@pwallinga.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 4:57 PM

Damn, you guys made me double-check if I'm supposed to be at work today (I am not)

@pwallinga.bsky.socialOct 12, 2026, 4:50 PM

That's nonstandard

You have school today?

If I encountered someone saying "IH/IP" out loud, my first instinct would be to say "oh no thanks, I don't own a printer"

The people must know: on a scale of 0 to Jacob Wysocki, can Paul Robalino actually play the trumpet?

I over-abbreviate everything. Someone walks into choir with a Trader Joe's badge and I'm like "ah sick, you hit the Teej"

Great concept for a holiday, big fan of erasing that Italian rat bastard, but we maybe could have workshopped the name a bit for conversationality. The 2010s optimism of it all is a fun throwback, though.

Real talk, how are we doing with using Indigenous People's Day naturally in sentences? Like, what's the abbrev? IP Day sounds like Public Domain Day's evil cousin, and the full name is seven of God's own syllables (nine if you add "weekend"). Are we asking about Columbus Day plans, then feeling bad?

Interviewer: Can you explaim this gap in your résumé? Engraver: Yes, I left that blank to facilitate page turns.

True. I had trouble wording this. But the angle of "my weirdo creep dad only wanted sons, fuck him, I'm trans and he's been a dick about it" is 100% part of why we love her.

Vivian Wilson is the funniest example of a nepo baby. Is she famous because of her dad? Yes. HOW did her dad make her famous? By being such an odious little twerp that she changed her name and gender, publicly disowned him, and now everyone thinks she's cool as hell for it.

I actually think he wants to be shorter, so Zendaya can carry him around in a purse

@pwallinga.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 6:33 AM

It took me a minute to even clock it as conservative. I was just like, oh work good for him

@pwallinga.bsky.socialOct 11, 2026, 6:29 AM

With a different font and tagline, this would play perfectly well in San Francisco for completely opposite reasons

You mean the woman freezing to death in a house? If not, I am blissfully unaware of what you're talking about
