Keep thinking about how Sensei Sergio’s ‘little Latino Harriet Tubman situation’ is ‘All legit. From the heart. No cash’
At the end of a hallway corridor, Sensei Sergio turns to the camera and raises his fist in a revolutionary salute. He has half descended a staircase set directly in the floor and is about to close the trapdoor. Benicio Del Toro, in a still from ‘One Battle After Another’.

Spark is agile #caturday #catsofbluesky #tortie
A black and ginger cat stands atop a tall scratching post. Her eyes are wide, her ears are pricked and her tail is out behind her for balance. Spark her hind legs balanced on top of a tall scratching post leans forward using her paws to catch some small toys on a string hanging from the top of the post.

It’s #caturday and I’m on holiday in Spain so here’s a cat I saw today fishing in the reflecting pool at the Alhambra palace #caturday #cat #tabbycat
A grey tabby car crouches low looking intently into a pool hoping to catch the carp that are swimming there. A fuzzy mirror version of the cat looks up from below. View of part of the main tower of the Alhambra palace symmetrically reflected in the pool of the Patio de los Arrayanes. On the pathway of the right side of the pool a cat is crouching by the pool hoping to catch a carp.

A red squirrel prepares to land after leaping across a path. So speedy it’s almost a blur, its ears and tail stream behind it. Its shadow mirrors it from below.

Spark is a sweetie #caturday #catsofbluesky #tortie
Close up of a tortoiseshell cat her green eyes looking up to the camera. Half her face is ginger, half is black, but both eyebrows are ginger. Her left front paw is forward, it looks like she’s dipped it in a jar of peanut butter.

Written before the election. I have found that immersive reading is saving my mind right now. That means without my phone nearby to doom scroll, btw. Immersive reading does not work with constant distraction.

Cults and mind viruses run rampant. Powerful algorithms hijack our minds. No wonder we all feel so deranged.
They say my novels are surreal. But when I watch Elon Musk playing the jester in Donald Trump’s court, I’m not so sure. His latest novel is “Absolution.”

Spark is not dignified
A tortoiseshell cat is asleep lying on her back with her legs in the air showing her black and ginger belly. Her paws are bent like she is doing the dance sequence from Michael Jackson’s Thriller video.

"In a strange way, the wicked witch is irrevocably dead, usurped by positive, girlboss-y representations of womanhood."
