I snuck out on my bike this morning in between the storms. Riding through the window, if you will. Days like this remind me of Washington. I am blissed out. Today I’ll get some work and school stuff done and then reply to a few truly patient pen pals. Doing my part to keep in touch and maybe sustain the USPS. If you’re confused as to why or exactly how screwed that situation is I suggest watching Last Week Tonight’s coverage. John Oliver always has your back. As I watched it and considered buying even more stamps I was reminded of this story from another Jon, actually. Jon Ronson’s Butterfly Effect. It covers the ways in which the creation of porn hub had some truly unexpected side effects on the porn industry and the ways it has had to shift in its wake. One of them being the mini productions of custom porn. When the price was right anyway. We can all imagine what plenty of that looks like but there was one bizarre scenario that kind of thrilled me. He tells the story of an anonymous Norwegian man who paid a pretty penny to have a video made of three naked women destroying his epic stamp collection. Disturbing… Fascinating. Anyhow, yes, do what you can about the USPS. Sign a petition. Write your congress person. Need a stamp? Buy some Last Week Tonight stamps. For traditional or salacious purposes. Your call. Enjoy the rain if you’ve got it. And Now..
Day 122: I had a banana on my ride this morning then cooked up this tofu stir fry when I got home. Tofu, purple cabbage, zucchini, scallions, mushrooms, avocado, kimchi sesame and coconut oil.
