Gray cat sleeping next to a book
Been tossing around the idea of doing some Youtube video essays/lectures.
Currently thinking about the possibilities of two series, based on some current obsessions: 1) retellings/inspirations, and 2) eugenics in literature/culture.

Happy gray cat being pet
Incredulous gray cat no longer being pet
This is the face she makes when I stop. π
Currently stretched out on the couch listening to video essays as I try to heal up.
My cat took a while to forgive me for not being sat up to cuddle, but I'm not allowed to stop petting her belly.
PANEL 1: The IMPORTANT PUNDIT is standing on a soapbox with a megaphone on the street. One or two people are watching. He motions with his thumb behind himself. PUNDIT: Hello! WHAT IF Mattie had all of "her" skin ripped off in one big piece like a clementine? PUNDIT: This is "its" house by the way! PANEL 2: MATTIE, sitting on her couch with a book. The voice from the megaphone comes from outside. VO: What if someone did that. Just if anyone has a big knife, for doing the thing I talked about. I'm just wondering aloud! PANEL 3: MATTIE leans out the window, yelling. MATTIE: Get bent, asshole! PANEL 4: Back on the PUNDIT. everyone is raising a knife of some sort. PUNDIT: Can you believe that language? PERSON IN CROWD: SO uncivil. PERSON IN CROWD: Let's go up there with our blades
