If you just arrived here and are following me, hi! I have a couple lists in my profile you might be interested in. You might even be on one, if you are just getting back into an old account. If you want to be taken off, just let me know.
Otherwise, there’s a cheese tray and crudite in the back….

A diagram from the early 1600s of a hand inside a circle, the perimeter of which is labeled with months and zodiac symbols. The fingers are similarly labeled with zodiac symbols between each joint and planetary symbols beside them. Lines from between the months radiate in toward the planetary symbols. This is from an age when astronomy and astrology were still the same science, and when anatomy and palmistry might have had more in common than not. It may also be a diagram for using the hand to measure the progress of time and the movement of heavenly bodies in an age when telescopes were new and rare.

In 2021, I founded Our Tallahassee with Bob Lotane to provide an alternative news source to the useless Tallahassee Democrat. We broke stories about the Chamber of Commerce and the extremism of our police chief and caught a lot of grief doing it. Bob died today. He was a good man. I miss him.
Sadly, Bob Lotane has passed away. He was my partner on the Our Tallahassee news site we both helped fund and wrote for. We collaborated on an expose on the Tallahassee Chamber of Commerce that took advantage of his insight and long memory of a lot of untoward things. I remember how careful he was in that collaboration--how he wanted to expose the truth and help people remember the truth, but he didn't want to do it at the expense of accurate detail and fairness. Bob was a really great guy. Despite dealing with health issues that would've led many people to turn inward, Bob continually turned outward. He had a sense of fairness and unerring eye for knowing injustice when he saw it. He wasn't perfect, but he was always trying, and that's more than you can say for many people. In some respects, Bob was hard done by--an honorable man in a dishonorable place who didn't always recognize that fact, which is actually something I admire him for. He was still, even at the end, writing editorials for the Democrat about unfair things like the FSU hospital fiasco. And for someone who was already fighting his own body and knew he might die from his condition eventually, Bob did and outsized amount of good for the community... in many ways, he sacrificed himself and his health to help people and to try to make Tallahassee a better place. Rest in peace, Bob. It was a better world while you were alive.

Scientists if you’re like “man I wish more people knew about X” then I humbly suggest hiring an artist to make a thing that communicates X and then put it into the world because it’s so fun, extremely “hell yeah” inducing, you gotta try it.

Spiritual flow in Taos, 2025
A bulletin board in the genederless bathroom in Cid’s grocery in Taos, NM, with colorful 5x7 ads for sound healing,spiritual advice, self-discovery through writing, the Uptown Thrift, and a handyman who “does things. What do you need me to do?” and the like. Many have photographs of healthy, smiling people or interesting trees.

Perfect Tom Stoppard story from DTel obituary:

His response to a letter from Harold Pinter canvassing support for a proposal to have the Comedy Theatre in London rechristened the Pinter Theatre, “Have you thought, instead, of changing your name to Harold Comedy?”

I had a weird sort of upbringing where my Beatles-fan mother made sure I knew Kris Kristofferson was a Rhodes scholar before I'd ever heard a song by him, but my dad had been roommates with Bob Morrison, who studied nuclear engineering but wrote "Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places."
