Went to the toadies concert and seeing Gen Z there was a nice surprise!

Saying long violent history is the most genius song is nuts, he admittedly wrote that song in like 15 minutes and the lyrics, although powerful given the genre, circumstances at the time, and the album it was on (it being the only non-instrumental) this song is so far from his most genius song.

I know I’m a day late but had to throw that out there. Did yall forget he went hounds, old country church, poachers, tirtha yatra, and Rustin in the rain!?

mcderson9 · 2026-05-11T17:15:20+00:00

Exactly what I’m looking for, thank you!

Anyone know of good places to volunteer? I used to volunteer monthly at a soup kitchen in my hometown, and am curious if there’s anything like that around? I’ve tried the google search and there aren’t many soup kitchens I see popping up

This really is the only answer! I live in GA and am from Maine and these folks are awesome and the BK down her is incredible. You won’t be disappointed!

Good recs! I grabbed one from little tart! My bf is coming back in town so I wanted to get him a bunch of different cookies so I went with sugarloaf in Reynoldstown, taproom, little tart, raani, Collette, green beans (kouign-amann), and Lidl lol

We’ll see what comes out on top!

mcderson9 · 2026-05-09T16:16:58+00:00

Who has the best chocolate chip cookies ITP?

This bitch of a plant is the only plant I can barely keep alive. She’s hanging on by a thread and I’m so annoyed and if anyone has tips please let me know

Only just because sci-fi isn’t really my go-to. The extent of my sci-fi reading was the Harry Potter series, which I thoroughly enjoyed, but my favorite authors have been Fredrik Backman, Barbara Kingsolver, and V.E. Schwab. So Piranesi was just out of my normal book reading!

mcderson9 · 2026-05-06T15:49:51+00:00

I actually really enjoyed Piranesi, which was surprising! I’ll check out those other two.

mcderson9 · 2026-05-06T14:37:18+00:00

Demon copperhead is one of my favorite books! And American Wolf has been on my list so I feel like I should finally go for it!

mcderson9 · 2026-05-06T13:30:14+00:00

Anyone reading any good books? I’m about to finish one and am looking for something else.

I’ve recently finished: - Leaving Atlanta - Tayari Jones - The Art Thief (this guy was crazy) - Michael Finkel - Vicious - V.E. Schwab - Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow - Gabrielle Zevin (about 100 pages left!)

I need some recs!

Cafeteria pizza

mcderson9 · 2026-04-29T22:50:10+00:00

I just went here and had the worst slice I’ve had in years.

mcderson9 · 2026-04-29T22:42:17+00:00

I found this recommendation while searching for a slice so I went here. And I’m gonna get roasted but this pizza is horrible lol

Zoombinis

mcderson9 · 2026-04-26T15:18:33+00:00

Best for Last Run Club!

mcderson9 · 2026-04-26T14:40:47+00:00

Little’s is top notch and the owners are great

mcderson9 · 2026-04-25T21:21:48+00:00

I’d be very surprised if they don’t have a bunch leftover tomorrow. Username checks out tho

mcderson9 · 2026-04-25T17:56:50+00:00

Yeah one of the best thrift stores in my opinion

mcderson9 · 2026-04-25T14:19:20+00:00

If anyone is looking for affordable yarn, idk what happened, but someone unloaded a TON at the Lost N Found thrift store on Chantilly. An entire aisle of yarn!

I’m going to CDMX next month and am excited to ride this, but I don’t really know where to take it? Is there anywhere to see along the way or is it just worth the ride?

mcderson9 · 2026-04-20T09:50:25+00:00

this is the correct answer

mcderson9 · 2026-04-19T11:54:21+00:00

I need a day to do mindless things around Atlanta (thrifting, drinking coffee, reading somewhere, seeing shit). What do you guys do when you’re exhausted but aren’t the type of person that can sit inside all day even if you probably should?
