It's been a really rough year to pursue creative work, but I just found out my short film is a finalist for a production grant and I am going to ride this positivity wave into the new year.

The speed at which the elites are taking everything from us makes me think they know something we don't. Is it a meteor? Is it rapidly approaching climate catastrophe? Whatever it is, the plan is to amass as much wealth as possible while leaving us to die.

There is finally a release date for Philip Pullman's third volume in the Book of Dust series. And I have been desperately awaiting this for years. The world better not end before October, because I need to read this.

The saddest thing for me about the last 5 years of the pandemic is watching people I love and care about fall for right wing talking points about public health and embracing the exclusion of disabled people from society.

Here's my conspiracy theory: the meteor is going to hit in 2032, the billionaires have known this and so now they are just strip mining every asset they can get their hands on before they descend into their bunkers. That's also why they are letting all these diseases circulate unchecked.

My husband has a theory as to why so many conservatives used ivermectin for covid and felt better after. It's not that it had any impact on treating covid (or even the placebo effect), but that the drug killed all the parasites people have inside them from eating under cooked pork.

I went to the allergist to get my epi pen rx refilled today. They had a huge sign encouraging people to mask, but of course I was the only person wearing one. When my unmasked doctor asked me why I was masking, I told him I have had long covid and don't want it again. He said "very smart."

In grad school, I studied how US-backed structural adjustment policies in Africa essentially strip mined nations of their public services and safety nets, destroying the environment and impoverishing the people so multinational corporations could profit. The USA is now bringing these policies home.

My family lost our home and all our possessions in a 2008 wildfire. Two nights ago the same happened to my aunt and is continuing to happen to thousands of families in Los Angeles. The people cheering on the destruction of California absolutely disgust me. Climate change will come for all of us.

Biden sending hundreds of millions more abroad for war while Los Angeles burns to the ground really captures the depravity of the US empire. This is a death cult.

Denial around the now near constant spread of illness is getting out of control. Tried to warn my friend about bird flu and his backyard flock (it’s now documented in our county). He told me to never mention bird flu to him again… like sure, but not mentioning it won’t make it go away.

Had a lady at Costco thank me for masking today, which marks the first time I’ve been approached in public for masking in a manner that wasn’t harassment. Maybe a better world is possible.
