History person (history professor and tour guide). I like Star Trek, dogs and cats, gardening, baseball, punk rock, and a good cup of mint tea. Philly is my home.
Doing my fall remote teaching on Friday nights, by asking students about jobs they've had. Gave my traditional "thank you for your service" to any food delivery drivers.

Between the Philly Naked Bike Ride and the Furries convention in town, my Rocky Phlash tour bus guests are getting an eye-full today

Short tempers everywhere, blood on the streets, world on fire and under water, trying to keep it together through it all by humming a simple tune
"Nancy Whiskey, Nancy Whiskey... Nancy Whiskey, Nancy-O!"

I'll never forget what the gas station dude told me when I was 14: "Kid, you should start smoking cigarettes. If you don't everything about the world will drive you insane."

I'm reading a book about the 1844 Nativist Riots against Irish Catholics. One striking thing is that Fishtown in the 19th century was considered a Protestant stronghold (as well as still having fishers in the streams before the city drained them all.)

Maybe I should start writing short book reviews of the stuff I'm reading again. Haven't been doing that since December.

I just spent 15 minutes trying to analyze the lyrics of "Nancy Whiskey" to determine if it was about an actual woman who ruined the protagonist or alcoholism. The conclusion is it was definitely about alcoholism

Catscan got pushed back a week and a half because insurance said they needed to know it was medically necessary. Lol thanks guys, I'm already thrilled about shelling out $700 to make sure I'm not dying

Ah America

I have a cat scan scheduled next week. I've never had one of those before so I'm assuming it'll be quick once they figure out I didn't smuggle in any cats

Man I've been absolutely bombarded in pet loss advertising the last month and it's kind of gross. Can I get baseball and star trek and unhinged ads back

There's a sort of DIY Star Trek Art installation at 49th and Walton in West Philly

Summer's ashes are finally home. I'm creating a shrine with her favorite winter sweater, her collars for people who were skittish about her breed, her favorite toys, and her leash which would make her so excited because she knew she was going on walks.

I need more funny bluesky accounts to follow. Also Phillies ones

New tattoo to honor Summer, her pawprint taken at the end.

I'm out of the house for the first time since Saturday, to do a Center City Food Tour for a group of 4 in 20something degree weather. I'm still figuring out the transition to life without seeing Summer every day, but it's nice to see people walking their dogs.

Hi friends,
Thank you so much for all the messages you've sent, the visits you paid, the packages you sent, the comments you left, and everything else. I really feel the love of a whole lot of people and the effect that Summer left on so many people.
