New Year’s cleaning

Either last year or the year before I spent New Year’s Eve cleaning & organizing, and (contrary to how it might sound) it was pretty great. Sort of like Spring Cleaning, but for the new year. I think I’m going to do it again this year; my space has been wobbling between “almost good” and “blithering mess,” so I’d like to give it a shove toward the good. I don’t normally do much for New Year’s because it doesn’t mean a lot to me and I’m not much of a party person (though I have enjoyed the couple First Night things I’ve attended).

Whatever you do, I hope you have fun!

This post’s song.

Follow along to possibly see some of my comics before they appear here, or better still to see the good things my companions are posting. Want to join in?

Contact Congress TODAY to save the Internet (again)

If you didn’t click through the popup to write to Congress when you came here, I encourage you to read about the issue and write to Congress about it TODAY (2nd link includes a video that auto-starts). Giant corporations have enough power in and out of copyright as it is; they don’t need to be able to break the internet and stifle free speech willy-nilly.

Halloween

Halloween was quiet but good. I gave out 30 comics to trick-or-treaters. Some of the kids asked, “What’s this?”. When I told the last one, “Comics,” she said, “Nice!
