I hope I entertain my coworkers in this open office when I talk to myself but only in snippets such as: - "Why would it be in German?" - "I don't want that, I want /that/." - "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I was wrong."

It was actually cold last night and raining and it should have been illegal for me to get out from my comfy snuggles with the cats and get up and go to work. But someone's got to keep them in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to.

I am currently working on a historical ghost tour of a small Southern town near me and the echoes of "Sherman's Bummers" are all over the place.

Me in third grade: "Why can't people just be nice to each other?" Me now: "Okay, I understand folks all have a lot of different traumas and psychological conditions, but why can't people just be nice to each other?" (Note: This is not about people protesting injustice. That *is* them being nice.)

and even if this were not the case, i think it is extremely reasonable for a community to have a sudden reaction to a threat to demolish a major community center, one that has provided free and low-cost programming for decades and which serves as a source of local and national pride

It's beautiful that so many people will choose to express themselves through the medium of pumpkin. If only there was less stabbing involved.

My hot take: We are not arguing about SSRIs. Some of us are using them as prescribed by our doctors to treat mental health difficulties. This administration has decided that's a problem based on no actual research.

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

One of the benefits of being so grief-stricken/busy these last 3 weeks is that I am now unaware of many things happening in the political sphere. One of the drawbacks is that I was unaware of Jimothy for several days and I truly was missing out.
