This is a round-up of sorts. I'll be all over the place with this one. My weekend was fine and included some time on the cape, for which I was grateful even though I felt out-of-sorts and wanted to burn it all down after recent events in my country. I was worried about how Harlow …
Sketches
I had a long post about the shit-show surrounding the confirming of Judge Beer-Loving Lady-Raping Kavanaugh, but I deleted it because I don't have the energy and it just pisses me off.

Moving In, Twice
I remember the day I left for college. It was late-summer 1994, and I was headed to Ohio University with a suitcase, my other belongings to be delivered later via UPS ("It's like Christmas!" my roommate Kristen would later rejoice when my sheets, essentials and not-so-essentials finally arrived at least a month after I had).
