You know that picture of the Symon kitten peeking around a corner that’s been all over the internet? Yesterday morning Symon was in the tub, peeking around the shower curtain, so I ran for the camera.
I keep trying to find a good way to photograph or scan these little drawings. The camera doesn’t seem to know how to focus on them. Scans look awful. I finally tried holding it in my hand, and got a good pic. I was having a major anxiety attack over financial issues the other night, and couldn’t seem to calm my mind, so I tried doing one of these sketchy faces. So-so result on the anxiety reduction, but a nice drawing. And my anxiety was for nothing - the HSA credit card can pay for dental expenses, so all is fine. But once that train starts down the hill, there’s no stopping it, just throwing on the brakes with drawing, vodka and sleep.

I have angered people. I try not to do that. I do think there are people who hate men, but I think it is mostly caused my thousands of years of misogyny, sexism, inequality, and a powerful patriarchy turning inward on itself. If you want to know my thoughts on this issue, this article articulates them pretty well. I think that’s all I will say on the matter for now. If you are really so upset with my opinion that you feel compelled to unfollow, I hope you have a nice life and a lovely day.
Great article. And: THIS is where that whole list of “[that] is part of patriarchy” came from.
To answer about 12 messages in my inbox… Yes, I do play guitar. And I make weird faces while doing so.
Sh*t! Can we get more of this?
