I’M FUCKING DONE!!!

I liked reading through the tributes to Maurice Sendak at TCJ.com. Here’s a drawing I did for the page
7:30am and still going strong!
I was so beat by the time I took my biochem final yesterday. One question asked “What is the commitment step in glycolysis?” I put “PFK-1 catalyzes the first committed step of glycolysis. Put a ring on it.”
I just went to the recycle bin and had like 8 Monster cans. I have two more to get me through tonight. Finals week is almost over!
8 DAYS!

Because its being done to poor black/hispanic kids.
Why isn’t closing 40 Philadelphia public schools national news?
In what should be the biggest story of the week, the city of Philadelphia’s school system announced Tuesday that it expects to close 40 public schools next year and 64 by 2017. The school district expects to lose 40% of current enrollment to charter schools, the streets or wherever, and put thousands of experienced, well qualified teachers, often grounded in the communities where they teach, on the street.
Ominously, the shredding of Philadelphia’s public schools isn’t even news outside Philly. This correspondent would never have known about it save for a friend’s Facebook posting early this week. Corporate media in other cities don’t mention massive school closings, whether in Chicago, Atlanta, NYC, or in this case Philadelphia, perhaps so people won’t have given the issue much deep thought before the same crisis is manufactured in their town. Even inside Philadelphia the voices of actual parents, communities, students and teachers are shut out of most newspaper and broadcast accounts.
america…..
i’m moving.
Yet, earlier this year when the Archdiocese wanted to close Catholic schools in/around Philly, it was the top news story on all 3 major networks, and I believe it made the front page of the newspaper.
Hmm…..
Heartbreaking. I reported on it when it happened, and I couldn’t believe it wasn’t (and still isn’t) bigger news.
