Grading to do this weekend. Fun fun fun. Quarantine's a blaaaaaaaaast. Keep spreadin' dat COVID-19, asshat protesters! You're doing us aaaaaaaaaallllllllll a solid! [/sarcasm] Have a great night and a great weekend, everyone.

I Look Hot by Belinda Roddie I look hot in short hair, in a tank top and some men's shorts. Come kiss me, you damn fool, 'cause I'm "boyish" as fuck.

Arachnopolis by Belinda Roddie This beautiful city, this utopia, was built by the spiders.

My Favorite Superheroes by Belinda Roddie My only friends were the ones I found in comics.

Cycle by Belinda Roddie Tonight is the new moon: Together, we will celebrate by cooking dinner, drinking out of martini glasses, and cuddling on the worn out couch. We can't see the lunar disc, but we know it's there - waiting to be spun on the turntable of the night sky. A concealed vinyl with stars too far away to serve as needles in its grooves.

Fun For The Whole Family by Belinda Roddie I made up a new game: It's called, "Existential Crisis."

Knowledge Is Power by Belinda Roddie I was today years old when I discovered why Triscuit is called Triscuit - that George Harrison was the one who did that popular cover of Rudy Clark's "Got My Mind Set On You" - that cucumber doesn't taste that bad in sushi if you just pretend it isn't there - that white lesbians shouldn't use the word stud because it belongs to working class African-American lesbians, so just call yourself dyke or butch, for Gay Christ's sake - and that I can no longer tell the difference between skunk smell and the odor of some seriously dank weed. Quarantine may be a bitch, but I'm learnin' every day!
