This week has been so incredibly draining. It was so good to get home and just play guitar for an hour without any interruptions or fires to put out.
I wish I had the time and energy to give you all what you need. Right now I have to take care of myself by singing Neko Case a la metal.

At some point you realize you are a line-art kinda guy, and for the rest of your life ppl will ask you if you're going to get that tattoo finished ever.

200+ CUSD seniors were honored tonight for earning the State Seal of Civic Engagement.
I scrapped most of my speech because you couldn't hear it over the thunder. Big props to the senior who pointed out that I was holding the microphone too far from my mouth. That's the kind of leadership we need.

I know a secret about the kid who wrote this: he plays a half-orc in D&D who is obsessed with smashing rocks.
WOW. A teacher just told me, "I gave one of my 2nd grade (dyslexic) students your nature poetry prompt. He is reluctant to write because of challenges with spelling, but I suspect he’s gifted. I told him just to write and we’d sort out the spelling later. This is what he wrote."

My feed is so dysfunctional right now.
"They arrested a judge!"
Vs
"NFL draft picks!"
If you have time and energy to care about the NFL right now, that's privilege. And it's kinda gross.

Everything is terrible and America is an openly fascist nation eating itself.
But the real tragedy is: I'm finally reading the Mistborn books, and they're awful.
I'm halfway through book 2. Does Sanderson learn to write at some point?
Or do we like it BECAUSE of the 5th grade reading level?

FBI director Kash Patel has been removed as acting head of the ATF. the secretary of the army is taking over, instead. Some say that ATF and DEA might merge. I think they should go one further, and merge Justice, ATF, and treasury to create the Warren Zevon Department.
