Aw man, you missed a prime opportunity to sing "Everything's All Right" from Jesus Christ Superstar to add an additional 5/4 from the time signature.

a banger of a newsletter Josh (tho really they all are). also, I realized Macklemore tops my list of artists I truly respect as humans and wish the best but have no interest in their art. I only realized this list existed for me because of Macklemore but maybe it’ll fill out more in the future.

Josh, thank you for the sentence “Mickey Mouse is a rodent who sounds like he’s been doing whippets,” which will live in my heart and mind forever.

Need a pep talk please. New tenant is young and shy and just starting to come out of his shell and join activities. The problem? It’s summertime in the south, and methinks he doesn’t own any deodorant. It’s hard to sit next to him on the bus. I don’t know him very well, but I’m a good mother figure I’ve been told Should I say something to him and how? Thank you!

Could you leave an anonymous care package full of deodorant with a note that says, "Thought you could use this?" (I get how AWKWARD a conversation this can be...I am a high school teacher...and WOOOF - some of my students! Yikes! (deodorant is the LEAST of their worries!)

You were great with AHP on Culture Study! I went to BU and then was there for 3 more years…so many things you talked about rang true and made me laugh 😊

Oh man I clicked that ticket link because my wife really fucking loves WWDTM! and I thought it would be nice to get back up to Maine for a weekend and there were no seats available next to each other either night. Man that show is popular, sad I’ll be missing it
