I have a photo I took of this when we were in Munich years ago. Fabulous.
Saint Munditia, patron saint of spinsters, died circa 310 AD, beheaded by a hatchet. She was transferred from the Roman catacombs in 1675 and put on display in Munich, her bones encased in a bejeweled shroud, her hands clasping a glass container of dried blood.

I love this idea. My dad died when I was three and I had to figure out simple things like how to tie a tie and even shave on my own. Please retweet this because I know there are a lot of kids out there who could use some help with day to day life.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.
Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

I posted today's poetry. It's interesting to post and edit something like this from 2015, to see how it and other entries fit with my current thoughts. The second one from yesterday's post is far more on the humor side.

All of this reminds me of when I was publishing with Dark Horse and my editor told me he was leaving to pursue full-time freelance writing, which I thought was strange as the US was just emerging from the economic meltdown of 2008-2010. So I asked "Why?" and he said...
"I make $12.50 an hour here."

I revised my writing website, making it simpler and more focused on the experiment of posting my journal efforts regularly. Those are usually short poems and single-page stories, ranging from ludicrous to horror to depressing. Just like me, I suppose.

Since my art, photography, and design websites are all up to date, I'm starting to think about revising my writing site. Maybe if I post a short flash or poem every day it'll keep things interesting.
