So happy with this scarf/shawlette I just finished! Still need to weave the ends in.

The pattern is Pincha Shawl by Pinpilan Wangsai.

If you are strong in spirit and not afraid of chickens:

Those ends you see? Literally all I had left. If I were to run out during the cast-off I would've gone back and made the last short rows a bit more aggressive, moving towards the end by 5 or even 6 stitches at a time instead of 4. Or used a different green yarn, I have a bit in a somewhat similar shade to the lightest green here. Thankfully it worked out though!

Mountain goats albums are like tarot cards in the sense that if you pick a few that you're drawn to it can reveal a lot about your current state of mind

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

do you ever sit and think about how In Corolla (Get Lonely) and Great Pirates (Jenny from Thebes) are both the last songs on their respective albums and they're mirrors of each other?

no? well you should.

terribly difficult poll to vote in as the guy who submitted both hamlet and john darnielle, but—i have to confess. it is my firm belief that the guy the phrase "poor little meow meow" originated about and john darnielle are the only two poor little meow meows in existence.

traits of the original poor little meow meow, suga from bts:

musician

characterized as catlike

included an audio sample of infamous cult leader jim jones (of the jonestown massacre, from which we get the phrase "don't drink the kool-aid") in a song

john darnielle is:

1. a musician

2. characterized as catlike by himself & by fans

(john darnielle's twitter, @goingtothebes)

3. included an audio sample of infamous cult leader jim jones (of the jonestown massacre, from which we get the phrase "don't drink the kool-aid") in the song going to kansas as released on the hound chronicles in 1992.

(an alternate version of going to kansas which does not include the sample was released on nothing for juice in 1996. that's the version most people will be familiar with—it is streamable and the hound chronicles is not. going to kansas is not the only alternate recording that was included on nothing for juice and both re-releases have different instrumental backing if i remember correctly).

so by definition. unless there's a third person who hits all of these criteria, john darnielle is one of only two poor little meow meows in the world.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

couldn’t stop thinking about this post

[ramblingsarah]

gotta lie down every time I remember this recording and the post about it

[anarcho-weirdism]

babe are you okay i saw you were reblogging “No Children (live at the bottom of the hill)” again?

[hiwerethemountaingoats]

So this is a song about a couple of people in a car, and uh, it's kind of hot in the car, though it's cold outside, and the reason it's hot in the car is the seething temperature of their hatred. And they're sort of like, you know, it's one of those situations where you really-- [pause] Let's say you're in this car. You have probably at some point, the odds are pretty good you've been in this car. And, uh, at one point or another you look over at the speedometer and it says 75, you're riding shotgun, and you think, you do this sort of quick calculation. You don't really know, you know, you're not a physicist, much less a criminal investigator, anything like that, you're just a person in a car that you wish you weren't in, but you think, "If I pop the door and drop and roll and I tuck my elbows in, between here and the bushes at the shoulder, what's the damage I sustain," and you picture your lifeless, unconscious body rolling down the beautiful hill, and you see yourself as though in a Japanese film and think, "You know, I might make it; maybe I will look up and I will see the last bit of the car speeding away from me and I will count that as a victory." This song, this song is about people who have chosen whatever the opposite of victory is.

Good Morning to All Vultures

“It’s hard sometimes to be a vulture today And so we say “Good morning” just to start you on your way”

Please Mr. Darnielle, please release your album of children’s songs, you know we’d eat that shit right up. But honestly, I think it’s very sweet when artists make things for their kids that aren’t for anyone else. Art is such a personal thing and how lucky we are that Darnielle has shared so much of himself already; he should be allowed to keep some things for himself.

Realized I never shared these two Mountain Goats lyric paintings from summer 2025. They’re very meditative to make.

You think I talk about the Mountain Goats with many detailed tangents, jumping from topic to topic a bit, and rarely making eye contact? Well, have you seen John Darnielle talking about the Mountain Goats?
