This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Working on a crayon triptych of a gorilla holding a doll. Each will get a close up and the third image will be wide. These are 2’ x 2’.

A govt shutdown is like a strike in the sense that before you start it you MUST have a concrete idea of what your leverage is and what will cause your opponent to fold. Ironically the Dems' strongest leverage point was probably "fucked up Thanksgiving travel" and they folded just before it came.

why does everyone assume yr not ambitious unless you want money and some fancy career. why can’t ambition mean wanting to read 20 books? why can’t it mean wanting to feed 100 people? why can’t it mean anything besides money!?

For absolutely no reason at all, this feels like a great time to mention that I wrote the booklet for this release of Argento's OPERA (and also for basically every Severin Michele Soavi release):

Zach painted this beautiful portrait of Olga and I’m so happy to have it in our home every day. I miss her a lot.
