Mucking about with my site again, very slowly. wholewheattoast.com/2026/01/jan-... Couple of drawings, keeping a list of "songs of the day", and a few notes about books I'm currently reading.

All I want to know is why Aronofsky's new film, which appears to be a wooden horse shape (voiced by SAG actors), was left outside the city gates?

Why are so many otherwise well intentioned folks still using substack? What gives?
