Philip Daniel Shaw; Impressed by squirrels, hares, corvids, gentle persons. Ex-radio. Liminal but present. Compassion is strength. Ice cream.
Pinned
A naturalistic pantheist pansexual mind with pagan sympathies forever deconstructing its fundamentalist childhood and replacing it with something far more lovely.
The time is getting late to begin

New documentary about how Thomas Kinkade's career was one huge performance grift rather than conservative sentimentality. Always suspected that, but the true believers kept the facade strong.

I like that the General in Welcome to Derry is named Francis Shaw since I live in Bangor and my indigenous relatives came from Francis surname.

Veterans Day. I may be baffled by patriotism trappings, but I deeply respect service, sacrifice, and bravery. My dad Lloyd here at Presque Isle Army Air Force Base shortly after returning from the Pacific Front. He was a plotter, engineer, and radio tent operator.

Songs to Learn and Sing is 40 today. It was one of the gateway albums my first year of college radio, opening a vast musical world. I was already working in commercial radio by this point and my alt world and pop professional world would parallel for decades.

My prediction is that Trump will be on life support by the end of the year and dead by early next year. But he's flaming out in a destructive manner now while trying to surround himself with self-glory.

Aimee Mann's voice suits this perfectly. Trivia: Written by Paul Williams & Roger Nichols, and not by Richard Carpenter.

Edmund Fitzgerald sank 50 years ago today. Gordo's tune, recorded the following month, has had a lot of life. Including being part of Bobby Sands' story.

Donald says we're gonna get $2000 tariff dividends. There are no "dividends" on tariffs. Tariffs are taxes on us. We may get the payouts, but they aren't from dividends.

I've known Angus King tangentially back to the 1970s. Nice guy. Also votes sometimes in wrong-headed ways because he can't seem to grasp the past doesn't work with the current administration. Still trying to be nonpartisan to salvage...something. But the administration doesn't give a fuck, period.

Sesame Street & Kate Bush's Lionheart both debuted on November 10 (nine years apart), so now I wish there'd been a Grover & Kate segment featuring "In The Warm Room".

I transition from Falloween to Fa-La-La-O'Ween by bringing out Ratstronaut and Foxmas. Which would be a good stop motion special.

Every weekend at work as security officer, it's the advance of the crows. They come up close and chatter at me like I supposed to know Crowish and they're imparting some secret Chosen One intel. Now I toss them some scraps and they get fed. Dunno if I'm just shit at this or if they've got a con on.
