Today I’ve been thinking about a couple of environmental articles I’ve read. Both present a similar viewpoint: individual changes to consumption or recycling won’t impact the environmental crisis the planet is facing. The first, I work in the environmental movement.

Another day recovering. Better than yesterday where my wound hurt every time I moved and throbbed continually through the day. I forget that when you are “ill” or “recovering” that’s what you’re actually doing. Last week I imagined I could recuperate by reading and writing, popping out a little. In…

Much better day today. I’ve even been able to have a shower and change my dressing. I even managed to leave the house for a short time but I fear I may have been a little premature. A chunk of my time today has been listening to music and, inevitably,…

Genre: horrorSeries: The Dollhouse FamilyPublisher: DC This was enjoyable. It’s very much like an old Vertigo comic – and that’s not surprising as Carey and Gross are former Vertigo collaborators on titles like The Unwritten and Lucifer. It’s part of Joe Hill’s Hill House horror imprint and, based on the quality…
