Meh, some banal stuff about me.
I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @[email protected]. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

I have managed to prune most of the trolls out of my feeds and have no interest in adding more.

Sarah Zellaby is not human. She looks human, on the outside, but on the inside, she's a telepathic ambush predator, a form of hyper-evolved wasp originally from another dimension. Her species moves unnoticed through human populations. We call them "cuckoos," brood parasites.

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Black Sheep Plush. This poor little guy is the outcast of his family. Not because he's black, but he's the only family member who refuses to conform to their traditional conservative values.

TIME’S PASSING (2007)
Oil on Panel - 26” x 16”
As a native Californian, I really enjoy the change in seasons that I experience living in New England. There is even beauty to be found in the shadows of the leafless trees against the pale gray winter sky. 1/2

Age verification? I watched the moon landing live in kindergarten.
Age verification? I was on Romper Room.
Age verification? On my middle school basketball team we all chewed lemon-lime Gatorgum.

Reminder that when I post a seemingly scary article without comment, it's because I believe the call to action is obvious, and the bad thing is anything but inevitable. Just don't do it. Reject it. Don't buy it. Not here to scare you, here to let you know to avoid huge scary mistakes.

The word "nonpartisan" ceases to be reassuring when one party wants to exterminate (or failing that, disappear and silence) the majority of the human population.
You can't innocently "not have an opinion" in a scenario like that.

Last year I traveled all the way to rural Vietnam to officiate a friend's wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony that mixed cultures and language, and was a celebration of the best of humanity.
He just sent me this post and said "this is how you lost the war."
