Funding fell thru on a pretty big project. The excuse was that the tribe would rather put the money toward more long-term projects. Which really angers me because this project was more about education and involved student leaders.

I think Pete Buttigieg maybe one other member of congress brave enough to throw hands after being assaulted at a town hall. Ilhan Omar with fists ready walked straight up to that dude who had at LEAST 120lbs on her.

Unlike some fuckers ruining shit for all of us.

Not the best at what I do, but certainly not the worst.

Awesome. I met my goal thanks to a lot of you. I'm going to keep it open because... well... I just don't see myself getting paid anytime soon. It's because of your attention and generosity this was able to happen.

I cannot thank everyone enough.

I found the PERFECT formula.

My new insurance will not cover brand-name prescriptions, and only pay 20% of generic prescriptions.

The generic brand of Buproprion made me nauseous and dizzy all the time, but Wellbutrin really helped.

Still, the generic brand will cost me $70 a month. Even WITH the 20% BCBS covers.

Fuck.

I think at this point, I could tell a recruiter that I would work for FREE and they'd still reject me.

AGEISM is real in the job market.

If you're a hiring manager throwing out applicants above the 35 threshold, know that you'll be dead long before me because I am the brown & beige refrigerator in your dad's garage motherfucker.

Ya ever look at your workload and imagine what this world would be like if this shit just magically worked itself out?

Yeah, me neither.

All I wanted Santa Claus to bring me this year was news that a certain someone would be ousted from their seat, placed in handcuffs and paraded around in front of thousands of people they hurt while being pelted Great Value soup cans.

Santa Claus is one cheap bastard.

My advice for young people looking for a career in comic books:

#1. Don't.
#2. If you MUST, do NOT enter any binding contracts with people you think are friends. When money is involved, everything gets FUCKED.
#3. Don't get fucked.

I want... I want... I want to take the rest of the year off and just draw comics. But the -$44 in my bank account tells me no.

Time to log back into my fucking UBER, AMAZON & DOORDASH accounts.
