Word-whore. I write 'em. I talk 'em. Information, politics, media, and the cybers. I drink. I use bad words. All publication is a political act. All communication is propaganda. All art is pornography. All business is personal. All hail Eris! Vive les poissons rouges sauvages!
A weekly summary of what I’ve been doing elsewhere on the internets.
My week of Monday 12 to Sunday 18 July 2021 was a strange one. My mood improved, as did productivity.

Oddly enough I’m kinda feeling OK with all that.
