Breaking the signal so it's totally unreadable

[sovay]

My poem "The Conversation" has been accepted by Not One of Us. It is about communication problems, among other things. I think one of the others is politics.

I would love this Wondermark even if I didn't also call my own cats "baby cat."

I haven't read any of the relevant comics or even seen Suicide Squad (2016), but last night I dreamed about Harley Quinn and some ambiguous fictional antihero (spent some time as a black dog, was neither a hellhound nor Sirius Black) trying to break into a university with a serious haunting problem. Two nights ago I had weird-ass dreams about tentacle pregnancy. Your guess is as good as mine.

Absolutely! I've had a handful that are worse, but the anxiety ones are the ones that Keep On Coming Back!

Yes, that's it exactly! If they were only once in a while that would be one thing, but anxiety dreams in school clothing? They just never go away. They're just so uncreative.

I managed to have an anxiety dream that got creative last night. Not only did I have to do an advanced maths exam without having revised, but I think there were actual questions. And then I had to apologise to Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs of NCIS that I'd forgotten to revise because I was wrapped up in the case we were on. "Sorry, Boss"

Anxiety dreams complete with Gibbsslap?!

ISTR the 'case' was a missing person on a ski-ing trek(?!), but they'd gone missing because they were disoriented as someone had been pumping carbon monoxide into the lodge where they were staying, which was still slightly less imaginative than the dream that preceded the exam. That one featured hunting demons who could take on the form of family members. "The art is to only wing them with the first shot from the shotgun, just in case it really is your cousin"
