We'll see how the print-selling goes. I'm going to look into my options and post some stuff soon.
Love y'all.
Addendum, a little over an hour later:
Actually, I hate entries without substance, even if it's special fou-fou heart day. As y'all might have noticed with "Awe and Wonder" this week, I've been digging deep into indigenous Mesoamerica. I just read a very interesting book on the dietary practices of the Aztecs. Not only was Tenochtitlan at the time of the Encounter bigger than Paris, but the nutrition of its inhabitants was much better than Europeans of the time. They were primarily vegetarian and ate spirulina and a lot of insects. There was this theory that the ritual cannibalism that sometimes followed human sacrifice was to provide protein for the poor widdle Indians, but the author of the book I just read was like, "fuck all y'all, it's ethnocentric to think that you have to eat animal flesh to have a healthy diet." Which is pretty awesome, I think, and I urge all you veggies out there to accuse people of European ethnocentrism when they ask how you get your protein. Not that the Aztecs had Gardenburgers, of course.
See, this is Flux. I get so excited about shit like indigenous food practices. You know how little kids learn something and act like they're about to explode unless they can share it? That's how I am, except I'm a grown-ass woman.
Anyway, happy fou-fou heart day.
Love y'all.

And I hope that is you until you are old, doddering, and longing for bone density.
