Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I swear I make a new project in this house every time I move a chair. At least it’s the corner I’m ignoring until upstairs is done!

That famous Gramsci quote: "The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters, monsters with absolute dumptruck asses, vast jiggling Asylum Demon gyats. Monstrously thicc asses not seen in the world for long aeons."

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.
If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.
Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

Fun facts are so unfair because I’ve done so much cool stuff and every time I’m asked about it I forget one of those achievements and remember an embarrassing new detail.

Never forget that in 1861 Charles Darwin wrote in a letter to a friend…
“But I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything"
…because this is my favorite reminder that we can do great things even if we don't always have great days

I’ve got a show on while I tidy and there’s an “outdoor”sound effect that’s probably meant to be bugs but makes me check I didn’t knock something into the air filter fan again.
