Mermaid Avenue

Do you ever have an idea that's so good it scares you? As in, the responsibility of taking an idea and nurturing it into a complete work of art for others to enjoy and appreciate (as opposed to a series of interconnected brainjumbles indecipherable to anyone but yourself) is too much, so that you end up with a great idea but with little to no intention of seeing it become something more?
Ah, cursed spite!

To vote or not to vote

Local Elections are up 'n' coming, and the whole thing is just an increasingly irksome reminder of how far there is for this country to go before it becomes a place for anyone to be proud to live.
First up, the candidates. Look at all the rich, white men, with their indistinguishable manifestos and unreliable promises. Their pseudo-tolerance, their visible smarm, their self-interest, their shameless brown-nosing. Bless their little lying hearts, look at them go.
Deciding who to vote for is like sifting through the scum to try to find the least shitty. For sure, the easiest way would be to not vote at all, but why give the extremists an easy path to victory? We need to crush these fuckers like the poisonous snakes they are, and have as many people voting for parties other than the ones at the very tips of the wings.
I firmly believe that everyone who is eligible to vote, should vote. Good luck choosing.
