pause

I’m not great at being actively anti-racist. I’m currently working my way through these resources to learn how I can better be an ally in this perennially awful moment. If you’re white—and, let’s face it, both theatre in general and the Shakespeare community in particular are disproportionately white—I invite you to join me in taking this day as an opportunity to learn, act, and donate. Black lives matter.

The show must be paused. Regular comics will resume tomorrow. Regular life will not.

Grocery Shopping

We’ll get back to A Stick-Figure Hamlet next week, I promise. I just need a little extra breathing room. In the meantime, here’s a comic you might relate to:

Shout-out to all the grocery store employees out there, especially the ones I interact with (at a distance) every week, who, despite being obviously stressed and overworked, and despite me wearing a mask, still manage to recognize me and take the the time to exchange genuine pleasantries. It makes a huge difference to me. May you all be sufficiently paid and protected.

Shout-out also to my supporters on Patreon (where this comic was originally posted), for their continued support of me during this time. Thanks to them I have been able to donate $2129.96 to charities providing relief and resources to people who have been severely impacted by COVID-19.
