Just went to a bald barber. Complete cueball. Give me one of the better haircuts I’ve had recently. I wonder if there is any correlation between those things.

I think there should be a federal holiday called Fuck You Day. I don’t know what it would mean, or how one would celebrate it, but I just think it should be a thing. And the best part is there would be Hallmark cards for it.

I once made a kids book during lockdown. It's since been really seriously loved around the world. But the publisher was really tiny (I couldn't get a big publisher without an agent) & I've been told they can't afford another print run atm :( If any agents or publishers want, it's open to offers...
