Okay so someone wrote on our apartment building with sharpie and damn I guess HE WENT.

I've puzzled over the transcript below for many minutes and to the best of my estimation it reads:

HE WENT <- "They need to stop suffercating [sic] and irritating Santa."

Hey. What does this mean? What the fuck does this mean? Who is suffercating Santa? Is it He? He who Went left? Or is "he" Santa? Then who is "They"? Are the left-facing neighbors irritating Santa? Or is Santa escaping suffocation by going left? Are They are on the right? THIRD BASE??

I just wanted to say I love all of your art in general, but the recent talk of leeks have been particularly interesting to me - I'm Scottish Ashkenazi and leeks are a staple in some of my favorite foods and national dishes, it's so interesting to see leeks be such an important food in Jewish cultures around the world!

Oaaah yes that's cool! I need to look up the history of the leek's travels.. It's native to the middle east and mediterranean which is why it's pretty universal in Jewish food : ) but it was brought to Europe in ancient times! We all love leek because they are decently cold tolerant 💚

Here's the problem with The Green Knight, like as a literary figure: Across every medium and every age, we all agree, he should have antlers. We see this guy, we think, that's a guy with some antlers. And he doesn't! There's nothing in the poem about antlers. We just know in our collective hearts he should have them. Maybe not even on his head! He should have a horned helmet, or be riding an elk, or have Cernunnos embossed on his shield. But he doesn't have a helmet or shield; he's just a big green dude with a big green horse and a big axe. WHO SHOULD HAVE ANTLERS. WE ALL AGREE. Anyway this is a piece historical revisionism I support because it is correct and an obvious oversight by the Pearl Poet, who should have known about the antlers honestly.
