Proud to have been, for once, at the show everybody’s talking about
"Normalizing violence? Humans don’t need GWAR for that. There is nothing normal about the Looney Toon violence acted out on a GWAR stage. GWAR is absurdist spectacle. GWAR is to violence what the New York Post is to journalism.”

This was hanging out on my phone from a recent visit to the Kurt Vonnegut Museum and Library. Seems like as good of time as any to share it. #kurtvonnegut

Kermit the Frog, at University of Maryland, says "As you prepare to take this big leap into real life, here's a little advice…Rather than jumping over someone to get what you want, consider reaching out your hand and taking the leap side by side, because life is better when we leap together."

Just finished Dawn of Everything. It took a long time. It was mostly depressing. But also snarky. Very snarky. And at the end, it actually gave me a little hope.
