I don’t trust merriment. I’ll take the food, drink, and occasional gift, but I can’t pretend to be jolly and ignore how the world is going.

So glad kids can experience political influence in their personal lives. They will learn what needs to burn down.

Camping hammock, it’s what I sleep in most nights. My body complains when I have to use a mattress

The Midnight Gospel, I really wish they made more than one season
