However many good things you hear about Jerry this week- and I'm sure there will be many- know that it's just scratching the surface. Jerry was a brilliant artist, but he was also one of the kindest people I've ever met. His life was a blessing; may his memory be one as well.

I respect like hell those of you who have been tweeting here through this election and COVID spike. I try to keep my realname twitter reasonably free of profanity and despair, so i haven't known what to say. Thanks to those of you keeping it up for the rest of us.
The funny/not funny part of these flipped states? A lot of teens that grew up under the last administration cast their very first votes in this cycle and wanted nothing to do with a repeat. BIPOC & LGBTQ+ kids voted him out.
It's final: Joe Biden 306, Donald Trump 232 Biden wins Georgia. Trump wins North Carolina.
