Ugh, was having a great time mocking my recently imprisoned rival when I noticed the camera positioning makes it so that I appear behind the bars, thus framing me as trapped in a metaphorical prison of the narrative, now my whole day is ruined. Fuck.

I used to do a daily pixel art project called Gnome of the Day, which was a mistake that burned me out for a while, but the need to create increasingly varied gnomes took me to some wild places

And so, claiming he was in a rush, Katzuo walked over to the butsudan, family altar, in the living room, opened a small package, and placed the okashis, the Japanese sweets he'd bought for the occasion, on a plate. He lit the senko, the incense, and gave a reverent greeting in front of the spirit tablets, he paid tribute to the ashes of his parents and other dead, even Keiko. Without further ado, diligent in his duties, Katzuo said goodbye to Sumie. About thirty minutes had passed, night had fallen on the streets of Santa Catalina, between the houses with their domestic air, the dimmed lights, and the cold passing over his face, he thought that he had played his cards decorously, in his personal language. [...]

Obstinately perhaps, or resentfully, though without bitterness, Katzuo wondered, why was he different from his siblings, why had he chosen another path, did he have some other animal's smell, other skin, other eyes, other instincts, why was he nobody, why always this lack, the helplessness, the rending, an emptiness: why death?

The CA State Library is closed tomorrow in honor of Cesar Chavez Day. A civil rights icon and labor leader, Chavez co-founded the National Farm Workers Association with Dolores Huerta. The rallying cry, "Sí se puede," inspired change, leading workers, who wore buttons like the ones below, in the grape strike to secure higher wages, health plans, and safety measures. #CesarChavez
