Old broad’s beautiful blue shutter doors and a mattress I’ll never see since UPS decided it was a good idea to leave a giant package on a New Orleans porch in the center of the busy city. 🙄

My cartoon is inspired by that old Space Patrol radio show from the 1950s. I loved how asinine the science was. But now I can't just be silly with it. I'm over here trying to create a scientifically plausible boat race on Jupiter. (In Jupiter? How do we talk about her) I'm too smart.

Dia & Carly in middle school, as bestie Betties. 🛹 I had a loose boopish bob but Tina Penrod came over early on picture day to curl my curls with a hot iron.

It’s hard to sort the personal from the global. Like Jung on the train who woke suddenly from war. Surely he wondered if this foreboding was about the world or HIS world. It was both, of course. And with that helpful tidbit, I bid you sweet dreams. 😆 Sweet dreams, I say!

The first line has me thinking about children, that unclogged overflow of soul that becomes apology in an adult. (Like my “voluminous talking” & special interests.) Cringe is artificial. Learned. I figure the goal is to return to what we were.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

80,000 deaths since Oct 7, children, medical workers; journalists, planned decimation and manufactured famine. It simply isn’t true that the Israeli government works hard to avoid civilian losses.

Hey, it's Matt. We're asking about America's relationship with Israel and would love your input. Have a minute to share? Stop2End

Don't want to fund a genocide.

Israel isn't committing genocide - it's defending its citizens against Hamas, a terrorist group that openly targets civilians and hides behind Palestinian families.
Civilian losses are tragic, and Israel works hard to avoid them, while Hamas deliberately puts people in harm's way. Ending Hamas is what actually creates the conditions for peace and safety for both Israelis and Palestinians. Supporting Israel's right to defend itself and caring about Palestinian civilians aren't mutually exclusive - they're both part of the same goal.

Last year, ICE took two parents and left their kids alone. (They’ve been doing that.) Our home nurse has been caring for them. Today, another ICE visit had this nurse in a panic. I ran over to cover for her, leaving the dogs behind, as one does. Skip did this while I was gone, like a psycho ex. 😳😱

“Masking” seems duplicitous or disingenuous, but it never feels like a mask. I’m always same ol’ me while the world is a crowded wheel. Sometimes I’m on it (in it!) I’m running fast (talking fast!) But same ol’ me is bound to stumble. It’s so hard to get back on. And then there’s the apology tour.

Cop pulled up next to us and I was like oh man, what now? “Excuse me, miss, does this dog have a driver’s license?” (First pic is Skip’s oh no here comes the popo look.)

I was grumpy & melting 🫠 just dragging my big ass up porch stairs when I stopped with my mouth agape puzzling over a car that was stopped in the road. Suddenly realized, to my HORROR, that it was Google street view. (My only solace: I was wearing a Querelle tee.)

I’m a real fuck up her standards but she’d dig the company I keep and she’d be delighted by lifetime punk, by comics, by New Orleans, though sad over my inability to “conquer” chronic illness which she believed was possible (just to move forward.) “What if I got and stayed sick?”

I'm not totally sure what happened this past week, whether my hormones locked in or what. But I feel a sense of genuine happiness unlike anything I've felt before. Like I finally showed up on Earth.

Quite telling to see AI companies so desperate for real writers / creatives / humans to sell their “story” that AI is “superhuman.” 🙄 They need it so bad they’re piling on the benefits & big bucks. 😤

When the FBI trekked to our isolated property in the northern New Mex mountains, they had questions about Dad’s time in Cleveland, when he was living with The Weathermen. He said he left when things got “weird in the basement.” He did this instead. I was his new fascination. 👶

So apparently everything is a-ok because the stock market is all good and the rich people are getting ridiculously richer, so no worries, just eat your gruel and be glad for that.

Collection agent woke me up and was so nasty when I said that the bill was unlikely to be paid at over 20% of my yearly income. She suggested I’d lived beyond my means by getting an emergency endoscopy. 😆 Must be nice to live in a country where getting sick doesn’t lead to daily harassment.
