@jmoiron Really sad to hear of the passing of Kentaro Miura. It's bittersweet to learn how many people in my timeline his art has touched only now, in these circumstances.

@jmoiron RT @Walldo: cannot stress enough, if you didn't spend the last 13 months in New York City, I don't give a flying fuck what you think about…
@jmoiron I have never lived by myself. Is that uncommon? https://t.co/yhWovlWXlh
