+1 for 2, that's a fork for any occasion

The fine and performing arts are also part of that front porch; funny how that's happening while those departments are under constant threat of cuts and shutdown rather than support.

been there in various ways at various points in my career; workload mismanagement has pretty much been a through-line for me for the last 20 years. what's the best way for me to tell you more?

It can be so hard to believe that your brain is lying to you while it’s in the middle of lying to you. Hang in there, friend.

You know what you could do today instead of doomscrolling all day is go pick up a copy of Persepolis. It is stunningly good.
