Finished reading: Monsters by Claire Dederer πŸ“š

So much to ruminate on, to feel through. Dederer is both cogent and emotionally honest, clear eyed, resilient, and heartbroken. Fantastic.

A close up, grainy picture of a white coffee mug in the bottom of the frame. You can just see the brown liquid inside. Beyond, and occupying most of the top of the frame, is a dark, out of focus bookshelf.

Some mornings, you just breathe. β˜•οΈ

I haven't been posting regularly. The onslaught of Nazi noise from up top has been smacking me around. That is, of course, the goal. Yet, as we well know, we can't post our way out of this. Keep your head up, and do what you can. Despite everything, they are ultimately a bunch of pathetic losers. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

I've been listening to a lot of Liar by The Jesus Lizard. Angry noise rock is very emotionally relevant for me right now. Who am I kidding, it always is. 🎡

On a whim, I checked out band cramp dot com. It is not owned by band camp. Instead, it redirects to good night kiss band dot com, which is dead. I hope you've learned something?

The TSA website list of things you can bring on a plane. Circled in the entry for the Magic 8 Ball. You can't take it in your carry on, but you can take it in checked. The quote is, "For Carry-on bags: We asked the Magic 8 Ball and it told us...Outlook not so good! For Checked bags: We asked the Magic 8 Ball and it told us...it is certain!"

Even the TSA has some fun.
