Unabashed GenX History Educator in Delaware enjoying three of my favorite things; excellent books, craft beer, and the places where I enjoy both. Philly Sports fan for life. Politics talk ALWAYS on the table.

I am a fiercely proud and protective Trans parent of a kick ass, amazing son. This is a safe place for any and all. Ready at the drop of a hat to put my body between any fascist amoeba who thinks her body, his choice or that anyone’s identity is up for “debate”. I’m not the one, regressives…
“I was befriending my anger, learning not only how to feel it, but perhaps how to use it.” - Jim from James by Percival Everett

Timely quote if ever these was one…

I can’t be the only one wondering if this rush to #RedNote brings us all one step closer to the #Firefly universe…if so…I’m a leaf on the wind…

That last sentence, though…some SERIOUS fuckery going on here… #TikTokBan

A bitter cold night is a great excuse to sit in my favorite chair, enjoying an excellent Dead Poets IPA from the fine folks at @volunteerbrewing as I read a presidential biography about Jimmy Carter. #Reading #CraftBeer

It’s a #GoBirds Sunday! A First State Brewing TIPA and a Dallas ass beating…sign me up for this all day…

Nothing like a public shaming of the parents on #Christmas morning. Still not over it…😜 #MerryChristmas

Isn’t it great having people in your life that know you so well? An absolutely killer Christmas gift. #StephenKing ornament with mini copies of every single published novel to date (you know I checked)! This one won’t go away when ornaments are boxed up…it will sit in my SK library year round.

Marching straight into book two after finishing book one. I am enjoying #DungeonCrawlerCarl so damned much. My wife has requested I not read it in bed as the constant snorting and laughter is damaging her calm. #GoddammitDonut

Enjoying a fantastic Saturday evening, laughing my way through Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 1 (the laughs DO NOT stop) and enjoying Ghosted from Twisted Irons, an excellent imperial pumpkin stout. @mattdinniman has created a book with a laugh in every paragraph, an honest to god litRPG NOVEL (1/3)

A lot of people out there slept their way through Lit classes and we see them…
This caused a lot of dudes a have little baby meltdowns on the other blue app. 😂🤷

The best thing so far about my chronological #StephenKing reread is experiencing books I read as a much younger man (20) now at age 51. I missed so much of his nuance and gift for amazing characterization as an idiot kid. @stephenking.bsky.social #DoloresClaiborne

OK, all my reading friends...I am making the move away from Goodreads. I have migrated over to The StoryGraph ( app.thestorygraph.com ). There are a few reasons for this move...

But wait…I thought things weren’t going to change under a new #Trump administration…I thought everyone was just fearmongering and exaggerating…🙄… Tip of the iceberg with these hateful slime buckets…

It is now abundantly clear the the #Republicans did not win this election… #Democrats LOST this election. The reasons are many. And we now have less than two years to fix them. I’m now officially DONE with hot takes on the election. What is done is done.

49.97% to 48.23%
This is the percentage of the popular vote for #Trump and #Harris. I will discuss politics with anyone at anytime, gladly, but only if it’s going to be a serious conversation. If you are going to be foolish, and come at me with “TRUMP HAS A HUGE, HISTORIC MANDATE” (1/2)

Apparently people watching the Tyson/Paul match had a lot of trouble with buffering tonight. I watched the #MikeFlanagan adaptation of Gerald’s Game after finishing my reread this evening. Not a single issue with buffering, lol. A 🧵
