Now Listing:

Things I'd like to maybe start a Kickstarter for:

A big bed of sesame seeds build in a storefront window, whose window is covered in reflective paper, in which I can lay down to rest my wear bones for a bit and napsnack my way back out into the world cocoon style.
Visa fees for every Muslim in the world to come to the US mostly because it would be way more peaceful likely although we'd have to have a conversation about the necessity of bacon.
Someone who is paid CEO-level salary + great bennies just to follow me around (union workday hours is cool) and run my feet and legs and shoulders and hands and back and basically all of my body parts as needed like always.
Honeybee husbandry.
Mandatory, heavily stipended coursework for the entire western world on gaining an understanding of, and the language for, a real conversation on race, class, culture, gender, history, and the end of capital. With cookies and juice.
That orgasm machine from that Woody Allen movie from when he made funny movies before he was a known sexual predator. I don't know that I need to raise funds for mass production. I basically just need one and a backup.
One more orgasm machine to rent-out by the minute because then I'd never have to crowdfund anything ever again.
An American Truth & Reconciliation Commission. Televised live with social media access points ala periscope, twitter, etc.
Basically just more cats.

Day 7. Does this “cold” ever end? I am once again refusing the Flu label. Because like can I go back to life this week? I miss life! My cat is lovely but her English is questionable and she doesn’t really READ. #DidISayIWasSick? #BigBaby #PimpDown #TherapyCat #cattherapy #catsofinstagram

The move from bed to sofa for sick day survival reading has begun. Wish my brain clarity. Also: survival reading gives the brain clarity. 🙌🏾❤️🙌🏾

Y’all. ‪So Mad I’m STILL sick!!! MORE sick!‬ Day FOUR! Dammit! ‬ ‪+ I swear I only get sick when it’s actually nice outside. I wish I had the strength for a temper tantrum. Toddlers got it so good. #PimpDown #BigBaby #didisayiwassick?
