Formula in progress

Posted on June 23, 2020October 9, 2020 by xoxo

The most functional piece of furniture that I own is a small drop-leaf secretary desk. It has a space for a laptop, two pencil drawers, a file cabinet, and other spaces perfect for storing greeting cards, school supplies, and all kinds of chotkies.

The problem is that every last puka is stuffed full of crap. (Note the trash on the floor, bags of bag-lady stuff…omg…)

At the beginning of COVID, I thought…this would be a good time to sort through the top area of the desk. I’m finally decluttering it, in a slow, methodical, hoarder-curing manner.

While I’m at it, I’m using this entry to start a particular list, of which I will flesh out later in an Excel spreadsheet. 😋

Let's be a helper! Shoe shine man Phillip Wiggins' bike was stolen, replaced by the community, but the new one was stolen off a CapMetro bus. The bus driver basically told Mr. Wiggins' that he was S.O.L. @CapMetroATX @KXAN_News @SMBR_AustinTX @ATX_311 gofundme.com/f/i-nee…

Happy 82nd birthday to the genius Herbie Hancock. One of countless examples of his mastery: how he translates this quintessential guitar song to piano. His fingers are connected to a higher power: youtu.be/31BL-wGZ8RE

There have always been trans kids. This is nothing new. Letting them live their truth will save their lives. To all the trans kids and families who love them, in Texas and around the world: stay strong and keep fighting for your freedom.
