Giant, legend, soundtrack of my childhood. Your music and your memory is a blessing.

“For the world can get smaller every day
And if we, the few, keep this in mind,
Don't look at your brother in anger
Just say a prayer for a stranger”

“It’s really hard to separate us from the world, from our culture. It’s really hard to separate them from us, from our projections. It’s one and the same in a certain way. We are embedded.” - Charles Ray

I am in my third college class in as many years that requires me to write research papers, and each one has required a different format. MLA, then APA, now ASA. It’s…annoying.

I can never decide if I want to work hard at my art and hustle to get eyes on it or work hard at my art and isolate myself from all humans.

Tell me I’m pretty or leave me alone, I guess.

Grappling with my dread and mortality this morning because I’ve reached the age where someone asks if I know anyone who can [insert skill/craft], and as I’m about to name someone who could help, I remember they’re dead.

Sick kids means things don’t get done around here.

A first full day of work after a break is never easy.

Sometimes it’s okay to just take a break and only be as productive as you have to.

In my opinion, a party primary is the perfect time to cast a protest vote. If you wanted my vote, earn it.

The secondhand market is so fucked. Why is everyone selling their used shit for 10% off the new retail price? Why would I pay the same for something you touched with your bare feet or whatever that I would if I waited for it to go on sale? No sense.

Is there such a thing as a likeability coach? Maybe I need one.

I’m such a mediocre white lady. LOL. Reading Crate Digger by Bob Suren and saw this: “If you skated, you definitely listened to punk. What else was there to skate to? Huey Lewis and the News? REO Speedwagon?”

And, yep. I love those bands. Throw in some Billy Joel and I’m there. 😂

The person who sits at this desk in the class before mine uses their eraser a lot. Dunno what’s happening in there but every class I sit down to a desk covered in eraser crumbs.

It really takes me out of futuristic science fiction when they name stuff after Christopher Columbus and compare huge spacefaring accomplishments to his voyage.

Somehow the concept of a “prime minister of earth” is more believable to me.

I abhor violence. I also abhor apartheid. Where there is the latter, there will invariably be the former.

Everyone in my photography class gets so excited on critique day when someone took a picture of a cat. 💙

19 year old classmate: There are way too many old people who go here.
Me, 39 and a bit annoyed: It’s community college, that’s the point.
Classmate: I’m not talking about you, you’re not old. I’m talking about the 80 year old in my English class.
Me: Good for her. And again, that’s the point.
