Which great American writers, living or dead, would you nominate to write the dark, tragic farce of half the USA voting for the person whose stupidity and egomania would make them lethally sick? Twain? Mencken? Surely Nathanael West.

It's ridiculous. I remember when it was required, way before the pandemic. In 2007, I went to visit someone going through chemo who was in the hospital for low white blood cell count, and they made sure that I wore a mask before entering her room.

When I was 27, I went back to school to study art. I had tried being practical, but nothing worked out. Some people didn't understand, but it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I wrote about it more in depth on my blog.
"A lot of artists die when they're 27, but for me, that was the age when I got my life back. That was when I decided to become an artist."

The question I've been meaning to ask is what ever happened to waiting for the stores that carry good quality clothes to have a clearance sale? That's a tried and true strategy from the time before fast fashion came along.
The fact of the matter is: overconsumption of fast fashion is contributing to ruining both the planet and the quality of life for millions. And everyone has the option to not overconsume. It's that simple.

At this point, I feel like the federal government owes every single American reparations for its mishandling of the pandemic. People have lost their lives, their livelihoods, their money and their minds. $1200 is not enough. Put some more zeroes behind it.
I think they should give everyone way more than $1000 or $2000 a month. It's not just lost wages. It's emotional distress and pain and suffering. It's like a class action lawsuit settlement.
