The thundering exhaustion and the physical pain and the ripping plates of anger within me are compounding so rapidly and exponentially that I know the back of my camel is truly broken.

There is so much to give and do, and it will be given and done somewhere far from where I currently reside.

Watched the Devo doc again, and I don’t know why I had reservations about it when I first viewed it upon release. It’s an excellent piece of work.

2025 brought painful loss, professional disillusionment, a deepening passion for people and true love for the work I do.

I have never had such clarity.

22 November and my seasonal mission is blown. Some asshole in Kensington was blasting John and Yoko’s grating and puerile Christmas song.

Still have a chance to avoid McCartney’s synth blob Christmas 45 horror.
