The above picture was taken two years ago today, in 2020, & it might be taken as a metaphor for 2020. After all, the year began pretty much promising normal - hell, it even looked like the president at the time, who is the physical manifestation of eating shit, might be reelected, meaning the years would continue to be the sort of anxious "good" we tried to live in. Then that virus came along & we ate shit.
It's a strained metaphor, so I'll leave it there, but I will say I've never lived any place where more people expressed themselves by leaving messages - often well-drawn, thoughtful, colorful, artistic - on random light poles or sign poles. I find that awesome.
Random thoughts & other unrelated information from the dude who does "Self Help Radio" - a radio show which originated in Austin, Texas & now makes noise in Portland, Oregon. Listen to new & old shows & look at playlists at selfhelpradio.net.
