June the Untouchable Shadow

We are on the brink of nuclear war And the other day my mentally ill formerly favorite uncle choked on a piece of meat in his mental institution and SHOCKER no one noticed for 20 minutes and so now he is in another hospital on ICU. And it’s also DEATH TIME for me as a […]

The Olympics of Every Day

Another week of being alive! Huzzah! That opening makes it sound like this week’s blog post is going to be exploding with good news and joy. I’ll do my best. Lately, my neurological realities have been on my mind and I’m trying to feel really grateful for the time I have. That’s not meant to […]

Covid Negative and, hey Worst Week, MEET JUNE CARTER CASH! 😻
