Peace out to Tom Stoppard, who wrote a lot of very wonderful stuff, not least among that stuff Brazil (1985).
Original movie poster for Brazil, I think. Definitely it served as the retail VHS sleeve.

Space Camp is my memoir about going through the Intensive Outpatient Program at the mental hospital and you can read the nearly 200 page story for just $5.

Crudely drawn stick figure stands in an empty classroom where all the chairs are stacked. She holds the straps of her backpack, looking lost. Text: In 2019 I went through a mental health program at the hospital. Now I've turned that experience into a graphic novel memoir. Text: Obviously, it's about struggling with mental illness... A stick figure doctor holding a clipboard sits across from Erika, who stares into space looking haggard. The doctor says, "You scored 69 for Depression, 39 for Pain Interference, 70 for Anxiety, and 69 for Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors." Erika thinks to herself with a blank look, "TWO 69s?" Giant sunglasses suddenly appear over Erika's face as she cradles the back of her head against her intertwined hands confidently and smirks, "...nice." Text: ...but it's not a total bummer. Text: Plus, there's a surprising amount of collaging. "Would anyone like to talk about their piece?" A stick figure art teacher asks a table of patients. "This collage is my soul." Erika replies self-importantly, holding up her collage. Real life magazine cuttings are collaged in the background, showing photos of beets and ferns and tomatoes. Text: Download the nearly 200 page graphic novel Space Camp. $5. patreon.com/ErikaMoen Stick figure Erika is curled up against the edge of a couch, holding a mug. Her husband sits at the other end, tentatively reaching out to her and looking stunned. She stares into space, saying blankly, "My psych wants e to enroll in an Intensive Outpatient Program. That, or she wants to hospitalize me."

ABATHA opens the front door to great GLENGIS, who is dressed in a Roman centurion helmet and what appears to be a bird beak mask. He also has huge sideburns/dundrearies but I think those are just his vibe. ABATHA: Hey, it’s Glengis! Glad you could make it to Thanksgiving! GLENGIS: Trick or treat! ABATHA: Go on. GLENGIS: I’m treating our culture’s MADE-UP RITUALS as interchangeable. We’ve inherited an astonishing agreed-upon symbology and it only ever gets put to the SAME OLD USES! It’s like learning the alphabet and then ONLY using it to sing variations on the alphabet song! GLENGIS: So I’m trying to spell NEW WORDS with it all. From now on, I eat turkey on Flag Day, shoot fireworks on Valentine’s Day, and drink green beer for eight WILD AN’ CRAZY nights! ABATHA: Cool. And what about the people you interact with in social settings, who are just going to assume you’re deranged? GLENGIS: Well THEY might end up finding rotten eggs in their stockings come Fourth of July!

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

For some reason or another I got a bunch of miniature tin shipping containers, covered them with miniature graffiti and filled them with mystery puzzles and pompoms, like any normal person would.
