This weekend, instead of going home I'm staying at Adrian for the Not For Sale conference. They're here, apparently, because Adrian is some kind of abolitionist hotspot thanks to the people who lived here around the time of the Civil War.
Because somehow slavery still exists today. A lot of it is because lots of foreign cops suck horribly and are so corrupt they might as well not exist, if the book is accurate. Sigh. Reading that book is... well, I know it's trying to push my buttons and spark my righteous outrage. These days, though, I think I'm too tired for righteous outrage. The world just sucks, and so do a lot of the people. You can think of yourself as a good person and still do nothing.
This is probably what getting old feels like. A little more than a month from now, and I'll be twenty. I still don't know what I want to do with myself.
Drew a Cyborg Flu picture. Sort of a mediocre likeness of me, but I wasn't really at my best anyway.
