Ah, spam. Now that it's here, it never really goes away, does it? It's like the herpes of the internet. It's been a while since I've talked about spam, because what's the point? And yet here we are, b...

This is how you do it.
My daughter cried throughout an entire 3-hour flight, only to fall asleep in my arms minutes before landing. People filing out of the plane said things like: “What an angel!” to which I responded: “Oh thank you, did you hear that crying baby I feel so bad for her mom.”

My broken brain read "cardigans" as "Canadians" and honestly I think that would pretty much work just as well.
Also this airplane is AGGRESSIVELY cold, I strongly feel that we should all be issued cardigans

Sadly, if this had been kept up and decorated properly, this could have been a really cool place.

Nothing is safe from AI. That's because capitalists will exploit anything or anybody just to make money. Which is even more gross.

Sometimes #Reddit is amazing. Someone asked about the weirdest frugal thing you've ever done, and suddenly we're talking about how #cats are weird little angels. I love it.

Sitting on my balcony, listening to Heartbeat City by The Cars, and also writing about it for a upcoming zine.

I remember watching this in a theater. An actual theater.
Stand By Me turns 40 next year. To celebrate, Corey, Jerry, and I are hosting 35mm screenings of the film, followed by an audience Q&A, and a little VIP photo reception thing for folks who are into that.

Current dates are:

4 December Concord, NH
5 December Red Bank, NJ

I love that artists are just unusual human beings, with hands and eyes. #art #artists #vonnegut
Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.

(Well, it was actually spotted in the grocery store parking lot, but it was still outdoors.)
