He either had sex with his daughter or he traded her. Something is underneath the ugly and the unfolding of homely to beautiful over the course of a few years of high quality surgeries, now she's ready to do lap dace for dad or whomever. Odd, yes?"Incest and Human Love," Robert Stein. quality read.

An excerpt from the upcoming book (I've preordered) about Jung and his autobiography, MDR. These are the outtakes and I've giggled all day about HG Wells as a gnome.

So much love for Robert Plant's deep dive in to Americana music these last couple decades, all his recent records are so fine. Plus, he's the best voice in rock. This is a great offering.

When this photo of the little me was taken, my 1st school photo in 1962, JFK, Malcolm X, MLK Jr., and RFK were all alive. Hell, Churchill was still alive! In my little white boy NJ brain, it's a real strain trying to fathom how many fathoms we've traveled to get to the unfathomable we are at now.

What if Ivanka is in the Epstein files? There are images of her around 12 or 13 y/o performing what could be construed as a lap dance. No matter, the image is highly sexualized, morally wrong. Such as this photo of a daughter participating in a sexualized image indicating long term grooming. #Ivanka

Christianity as a whole has a serious problem with human sexuality. Republicans are overwhelmingly Christian. Christianity has a pedophile problem across all denominations.

Significant showing at No Kings in Centralia, WA today. This is the reddest county in WA, so several hundred people was great to be with. Only saw a couple cop cars, so the atmosphere was peaceful, almost joyous in saying no to the American version of Nazism that’s taken root in our nation.

This is a painting I began back in 2017 that I never finished for a variety of divorce reasons; it’s gone now but if anyone wants to take from the image, anything, go for it. It was on a blank door, so about 3 feet wide, 7 feet tall. #art #tuckfrump

Read this book awhile back, and there's some rather strong evidence the founding father christian nation trope is bull.

This is where I spend most of my time, beside back leaning rest position (bed) and walking. Read, write, paint, not always in that order. Yea, that's my orange office chair. Dig it. You should see my orange utensils. 😁

I make paintings the old fashioned way, paper tape and paint. These since election, no firm image, just the scratching and scraping of an old man in shock. 11x15 mixed media
I've said elsewhere I was in 1st grade when JFK was shot dead. We have descended so far, so far since. Brakes/ breaks?
