The world is in a particularly crazy state right now, and damn if I know how to fix it. (Honestly, I have some ideas, but that’s a conversation for another day.)

Here’s three hours of it that I played on Muddy Waters and Maya Angelou’s birthday, which curiously fell on the same day as National School Librarian’s Day ad International Carrot Day.
