    Dear anyone who is grieving

    Back when I was in the hospital in May, the doctor there didn’t like that I was having trouble breathing and that my oxygen was so low. Well, one of the, like, four doctors I saw in five or six days. I kept trying to explain “asthma” and “lungs filled with fluid thanks to sepsis”

  • Plans are overrated

    Plans are overrated

    For as much as I tried to plan out an amazing, magical, once-in-a-lifetime trip to Scotland…. man. Life be lifin’, y’all. I was not expecting to be felled by Covid for a good portion of it, and then struggling to recover for pretty much the entire rest of it! So now I’m in the final

    Honestly I’m a little surprised it took me four years. I guess there’s something to be said for being a feral, stay-at-home artist who never goes anywhere or sees anyone. OK, so, first, it sucks. I mean, it suuuuuuuucks. But. I’m vaccinated and since I thought I was just having one of my usual tenacious

    People-watching on the ship

    People-watching on this cruise is wild. There are the people who clearly cruise a lot. There are the people who look out of place. There are the people who never stop jogging around the deck. There are the people who talk loudly about all the previous adventures they’ve had, as if they want everyone to
