Doing okay, just slogging through work as best I can, and flailing around a bit trying to figure out better ways to help @anthracite with the move. My own personal packing's pretty much done-- I didn't bring much with me.

Feeling vindicated about The Thing, at least enough so that I can walk away in peace and just let things cool off indefinitely, rather than tearing myself apart over it, and fumbling to patch things up in a way that'll probably just do more damage.

I'm surprisingly stable on the Mueller stuff. I braced for this possibility a long time ago. The GOP strategy also distinctly reminds me of the Nunez memo, another big bluff that scared the hell out of liberals and then went nowhere.

I hope to maintain my Zen-like confidence that what T***p and company are doing can't possibly be sustainable for long. I'm not sure I believe it, but at least it keeps the panic at bay. At the very least, I'm just not convinced we're totally screwed.

Parallax is on hold, of course, while we move. Anthy is getting a little edgy about not drawing, so we hope to be rolling again soon.

The Thing has had a tremendous impact on the themes and tone of Parallax, I think. It's going to be a much more somber and cynical story than it originally was, and I think that's for the better.

Chapter Two is going to be pushing the main cast, much sooner than expected, into complicity with forces you're not really supposed to like. I just don't think I can really do "Friendship Is Magic" endings anymore.

I'm more or less okay. Glad to be leaving Seattle, honestly. Gonna miss you all and stay in touch, for sure! But I'm really just not the same person I was when I got here, and to be honest I don't even know what the fuck to do with my lingering "postfurry" urges anymore except write bizarre tf-laden comics, and try to avoid any more complicated social or emotional entanglements ever ever ever. >_>;
