Who Art Thou?

The art that has impacted your life the most since childhood comprises a whole entire pillar of your adulthood. The sum total of what art you have absorbed accounts for an incredibly important part of Who You Are. It's right there in the name: "Art." Art helps each of us "become," and by that I mean stories, pictures, plays, television, puppet shows, novels, games, comics, paintings, poems, comedy, song, dance and music. I imagine Hell is a kind of desert where there is no art at all. Not one artist of any kind. I imagine a perpetually beige existence of utter, blank and silent despair. Can you imagine such an existence. ∎

Dear Netflix,

Thank you for keeping the old first-gen iPad supported. I'm so broke and struggling with so much mental-health-wise, this is such a kindness in a cruel world.

#InternationalWomensDay2019

I'll be working the door.

---------------
FROM THE PRESS RELEASE:
This woman-created, multimedia spectacle features performances and works by 40 artists from
France, Switzerland, Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, China, Ukraine, Netherlands, and the US honoring diverse
female icons. Each icon will be brought to life with an original composition, a narrative film and dance.
From Eve to Ishtar, Joan of Arc to Kali, and more, these unique retellings aim to inform, empower,
and inspire. In times of war and conflict, “Bring us your women” is uttered to establish dominance, instill fear,
and subjugate. But underneath is a recognition of women’s strength and Her essential role in society,
whether a neighborhood or a nation. Bring Us Your Women echoes that recognition and expressesreclamation at a time when women around the world are reclaiming their power.

Please consider becoming a supporter!

We're almost ready to print the show program, but we need donations towards defraying production costs.

Backed in part by grants from the Passim Iguana Music Fund and the Somerville Arts Council, and in part by local organizations who are granting funds for lighting and sound expenses, the artists, crew and organizers have all donated significant time and talent. We need you! Please consider sponsoring Bring Us Your Women: An Arts Odyssey.

Use a pincushion, or be the pincushion

Where is the needle that was here?
Cue danger music.
I'm an idiot. I know I should always stick it into a pincushion.
Now I have to go find shoes and go on a needle hunt.

Update:
I found it.

This is one of the Deranged Elves
from my 2012 Christmas card set.

Did I tell you about the dyslexic atheist insomniac?
He stays up all night wondering if there really is a Dog.
