At the heart of Everything Everywhere All At Once is an undeniable fact: we're all small and stupid. Everything else depends on how, and with whom, you tackle this RIDICULOUS Everything Bagel.

Just be a rock, and ENJOY THE BAGEL. 🥯

I used this page for a workshop with middle grade kids, a cheeky role play game on digital literacy, critical thinking and learning to recognize true facts from dubious information (or outright ai slop) when you're working on book on animal THIS odd.

I've enjoyed the usual dive into a tunnel of archive photos and material culture to see how Welsh men and women dressed in the last century, I was inspired for the mountain character from the cabotain hat that Welsh woman donned with the traditional clothes.

The illustrations were inspired by the characters' nicknames, they're called "allomingius" in Sardinian: they're used to identify which Vincenzo you're talking about among twenty Vincenzis with the same first & last name, there are maybe three family names passed down from generation to generation.

This is of course inspired by that old manatee meme with the manatee face-planted in a lettuce head. Sometimes I wonder what I could accomplish in life if most of my neurons were not busy hanging on for dear life to memories of old memes and weird jingles.

And if it's not: I have a new anecdote! I still win!
(The only food I really, really dislike are raw tomatoes. Yes, I know they are delicious, still you can rob me in the street just by waving one in my face.)

I love eating something special to celebrate and eating something nice to soothe me after a bad day. I love familiar foods, I love unfamiliar foods: if there's something in a menu that I don't know, I'm going to order it. If it's good, the number of joys available in my life is instantly increased!
