  • I once worked for 32 hours straight in a print shop to get a project out the door. Print shops (especially then) were fucking insane pressure cookers. The same intensity as an ER only stupid because instead of lives being on the line it was money. A lot of money, but just money. Early 00’s, everything was output on film back then. Had a weird error in an image that was used throughout a catalog. Normally, you could send a working signature through to the press, but the image was in every signature except the cover. I tried every possible trick I knew to get it to work, output film to test it, back to the drawing board. But yeah, 32 hours straight on this one thing. Finished up at around 4am, drove home but just kind of kept driving. Slightly delirious. Parked on top of a ridge off the shoulder and watched the sun come up. Went home and slept for I don’t even know how long.

    Does she need to have your back? Was she even part of the dialogue until you whatabouted her into the conversation? She’s a shitty person and a fucking cop who supports bad historical policies that benefit the rich. But I can safely say that she wouldn’t invade a sovereign nation for her own personal gain. She doesn’t have a long history of fucking children and getting away with it. She wouldn’t tank the entire economy, remove people’s right to marry or get health care or endorse a reckless anti-vaxxer whose efforts will be felt for decades (but only by the survivors of outbreaks of what should be long extinct diseases). She would do shitty things to good people. She wouldn’t fix the system. But she wouldn’t be doing gestures around all of this. And maybe you can’t respect the idea of harm reduction. Maybe you don’t know a lot of people hanging on in the fringes or maybe you’ve crossed over it and don’t give a fuck about others anymore. But I still do. I still want my friends to live. I still want a future for the children of today.
