I mean, it's been like a year since the state treasury fucked up my business taxes, so you know what would be fun? If they fucked up the same ones again! So today, on top of prepping for an event that I'm not feeling up to, I also had The Panics over some bullshit mail from the state government, and had to make a phone call, write a letter, fill in a form, and send two emails about it. All while being sort of shaky and sweaty from The Panics, so that was a solid chunk of my afternoon, and then I had to prep for an event that I'm not feeling up to. Just because of like, depression and burnout and overall pessimism, not like, feeling ill or anything, can you imagine.

I also have to get up and leave super early, because a month ago, when past!me was paying for my booth and picking a set up time, we thought it made sense to set up on Saturday morning rather than Friday afternoon because the thing is 45 minutes away and why make that trip an extra time, but now I have some feelings.

Polish folk horror. this feels adjacent to Viy (1967) but the protagonist is really more of an academic.
