I have shingles right now. It attacked the trigeminal nerve in my brain and it has been one hellish month... possibly longer with PHN pain in my eye, face, head. Get the vaccine if you can!

Maybe an assignment from the perspective of historians who depend on zines as primary documents to counter archival silence? Will try to think of something fun and engaging.

So grateful to call @colenowicki.com my friend!! Stoked to see an excerpt from my book on Simple Magic. It's one of my fav stories that merges Patti Smith and skateboarding back in 1979...
