Uh...so how's everyone doing? Should we do a sound-off? ...maybe just the Americans?
It's bad here, y'all, and one of the worst things of all is how I hesitated to even log on today, 'cos I haven't been around lately and, like, what right do I have? To unload on you all? There's nothing worse than that friend who only pops by when things are sucky and they wanna complain. I've had that friend. I do not want to be that friend.
But also, I'm kind of doing that Birdcage thing, you know? Riding a psychotic horse toward a burning stable -- metaphorically! -- and there's a bucket of water *right there* but no one's reaching for it because it was poured by a highly competent Black woman?? I guess??
Forget it. Bad metaphor. Awful, awful metaphor.
Don't laugh, but I thought it'd all work out for the best. In my naive, pie-in-the-sky little heart, I honestly did.
And also! I'm feeling the weirdest urge to fiddle around with my old WIPs today. I dunno...something-something the beauty of creation, something-something defiance and the triumph of the human spirit, something-something two guys rawing each other on top of some hay bales? Maybe it's not so weird.
Anyway, um. Hi?
