I feel a bit weird, sharing this here, but if it helps one person, I’m happy to.

The TL;DR - get your colonoscopies.

A few months ago, my insurance company sent me an at home fecal test. I did one a year ago and passed, but this time I got a positive result. I was sure it was a false positive. I didn’t have any symptoms and, to my knowledge, no one in my extended family has ever had cancer of any kind.

It took two months to get a colonoscopy scheduled. The result? Fourteen polyps removed 😳. I just got the lab results and they were ALL precancerous. Thank goodness BCBS sent me that test or I’d still be growing those things.

My takeaway - even if you have no family history or symptoms, get screened. The prep is a pain in the ass, but not horrible and the procedure is nothing. You never know until you know, and then it might be too late. I really feel like I dodged a bullet.

I was talking to my mom last night and she wanted to make sure I knew and remembered a story about my great grandfather, who grew up in Jacksonville, TX. He was very lucky to escape being tarred and feathered by the and having his store burned down in the 1930s. His awful crime? He served black women and respectfully called them by their full name, i.e. Mrs Johnson instead of just Annie. That’s all it took to get on the list back then. That’s less than 100 years ago.

It makes me sad and angry to think of all the things that desperately need to happen in this world but never will, all because someone can’t figure out how to turn a profit from doing it

Tonight's show is from the Various Artist's section of my collection - multi artist compilations, movie soundtracks, etc.

I've noticed that I never pull those albums when I'm choosing tracks for a show. A couple of the songs tonight are the only single ever released by the bands.

I was 50/50 on whether or not to do a show tonight, but figured I'm in town and have time to do it, so here I'll be. Don't feel any obligation to listen, but if you and/or your family want some cool Christmas tracks playing in the background of your festivities, by all means tune in. 6:00 CST at kuzu.fm to live stream and 92.9 FM on your radio dial in Denton

Humans are losing our humanity. We use avatars or filters on our photos so we don’t even look like ourselves. We use AI to write things for us, so we don’t express ourselves. I don’t know where this leads, but I’m not digging it

It’s #TransMusicMonday y’all. Created by @JoscelynTransient and brought to my attention by @VestigialLung recently. Today I’m posting an artist I saw a couple of years ago that really blew me away. This is P1nkstar, originally from Mexico and now based in Austin, TX.
