I often debate the decision to post these on Tuesdays. We all know about Mondays\u2013they shock the system. Monday night, when I put these together is not always ideal.

With that, I’ll leave you to the links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

art block by Ayumi Tan
<\/a>Not too long ago, I found myself facing a creative block. To keep it short, I eventually began to wonder if I could craft an artwork surrounding this theme.
