Queer Trekkie Old Dude on a strange and difficult path.
Erklärbär.
I practice Buddhism because I'm terrible at it.
Autistic as a motherf***er.
I love humans, all of them, but humanity is a constant disappointment.
Pinned
When all the sceptre'd crew
Have paid their Homage, due
The Guillotine
Let Freedom's flag advance
Till all the world, like France
O'er tyrants' graves shall dance
And PEACE begin.

-Joel Barlow, veteran of the Revolutionary War, 1794

A historical artifact presented sans comment.
Annual hand egg match is a good time to remind people that the most popular sport in the US, and the people who profit from it, are one step below tobacco companies in terms of morals. You can't market cigs to kids, but we still have high school football.

Enjoy your circus.

New equipment, new rules, new attitudes won’t matter unless they trickle down to college, high school, and youth football

I wish I didn't know about Mike's long side job as an absolute right-wing wankstain, but I do. So this can sod off, unfortunately.

Switching off between "Angel at Dusk" (cheers, @gamingpixie.com) and "Morel: The Hunt" is more relaxing than one might think.

I'm trying to sell more of these pins than they sell tickets for the Melania movie. I think I can do it. Want to help?

When we say, in English, "I must be hearing things," we actually mean that we are 100% certain that we are not hearing any things.

Language is neat.

Today's fun was saying things that made my doctor uncertain about laughing. "Your blood-work was quite good, actually, especially..."
"For a fat little stub-man?"
Laughter won out, but it took a while.

One year our school superintendent declared that there had been "too many snow days" and that the next year there would be NO snow days.

So I walked to my early-bird pre-Algebra class in -30 degree winds (-35 Celsius).

But I'm old now and this 0 (-17) stuff also sucks.

If I see you use this word, I'll block you. If you use it "satirically" I'll block you. Using it at all today is a really fine test of character.

I've had some of my books edited because I used it twenty years ago and I'm ashamed today of having used it.

Introduce yourself with 5 facts.

1) Lying in the grass
2) Can hear the highway breathing
3) Can see a nearby factory
4) Sure that I'm not dreaming
5) See the lights of the neighbor's house
Introduce yourself with 5 facts.

1) Desperate for changing
2) Starving for truth
3) I'm closer to where I started
4) I'm chasing after you
5) I'm falling even more in love with you
Introduce yourself with 5 facts.

1) I’m in touch with the ground
2) I'm on the hunt I'm after you
3) I smell like I sound
4) I'm lost in a crowd
5) And I'm hungry like the wolf

Weird request: describe me in 3 emojis?

(I am re-doing my book-plate woodcut because the previous one references pipes, and I don't want to think about smoking every time I open a new book, so I'm looking for visual ideas.)
