News out of Israel and Gaza this week is bad, the kind of bad that makes every other story feel small by comparison for a few days. Not going to pretend I have anything useful to add to that conversation. Just noting it, the way I've tried to note the heavy years alongside the technical ones, because pretending the backdrop wasn't there would make this record less honest, not more focused. Quiet week here otherwise. First few months out of college, into the new normal — work at the store during the day some days, PROMETHEUS in the evenings, same as it's basically always been, just without a syllabus attached to any of it anymore.
