Dear Insane Children,
Another week... another attempt at hosting a live stream! Can we avoid Covid Lockdowns? Will Martin survive the journey south to American's home? And is there a right way to murder your best-friend-sidekick-rabbit-plush-buddy (even if it's all just symbolic and i...

Dear Insane Children,
I don't know if you know this (I think many of you do) but the Alice series is extremely cathartic for me. Because, as a child, I was abused in many ways - psychological, physical, and sexual. And by a wide variety of people - family members, caretakers, and strangers....

Dear Insane Children,
As Martin mentioned in the last update, we are "free" - but some of us are freer than others. While it's true that we have freedom to move around the city... I'm lacking in a certain critical freedom unique to our household: Freedom to Sleep!
