Cold Inside

Cold Inside

My furnace went out yesterday, the coldest of the year. A tech came and got it back on. 3 hours after he left it went out again. He’s coming back this morning, but I faced the night — coldest of the year, -3°F with windchill below -20° — with space heaters and a few open taps to keep the pipes from freezing and bursting, and multiple electric blankets for me and the cats. I was freezing and shaking when I went to bed at 1am; I awoke at 5:30 to cloying dry heat, because the furnace mysteriously turned itself on in the wee hours. Got up, turned the thermostat back down to the usual 65°, have no idea if it will turn on again or plummet into the 50’s or below as it did last night.

Also had a bitter argument with a friend, a real disappointing horror.

Just a shitty terrifying night all around, so I drew a picture.

11:22pm last night, with electric blankets and cats and no furnace, worrying about the pipes.

Pride Restored pins

Cori Cohn made this unassuming post on Xitter about these pins and a week later it caught the eye of some very outraged children who in their fury drove about 5 million views to it.

Pride Restored Pins

It features these pins I designed and project-managed for him. They’re a true collaboration: Cori’s vision, my execution. And now my further management and distribution, because after 2 million views I insisted on ordering more and listing them at my Merchandise Empire. Cori has run out already (obviously) but you can get them (currently backordered) here. Our new batch should arrive from China on January 24th, when I will commence packing and shipping pre-orders.
