The Weekly Slug 2.16 - 2.22

what sport would a slug do best at in the olympics?

Slug Tracks - slug olympics

Fan of: I watched the Alabama Solution this weekend and it blew my mind. I’ve actually been watching a lot of documentaries lately which my friends have been having to hear about nonstop <3 If you’ve ever heard someone proselytize about documentaries let me tell you, it’s pretty annoying. I am like a preacher, a beautiful truth preacher about random niche subjects. If just one of my friends watched a single documentary I recommended maybe I would stop, but no one has, so naturally i blame them!

Documentary recs: Alabama Solution (HBO Max), Listers (YouTube), Extreme Beachcombing (YouTube), The Thinking Game (Prime), Salt in Their Veins (YouTube)

Album Rec:

Also the Bandcamp substack rec’d “SPIT OR SWALLOW EVERY SOUL WILL TASTE DEATH” recently which I thought was the best name I have ever heard ever in my life and I can’t stop thinking about it.
