Reading Eilberg-Schwartz' "God's Phallus," a critique of masculine based monotheism. Misread a phrase that reads, "The deification of masculinity justifies the social order...(pp 15)" I misread it as, "The defecation of masculinity..."
Umm, either creates quite a mess.

Just finished "Humankind" by @rutgerbregman.com only to find out he has a new book out ("Moral Ambition") that I'm interested in too. "Humankind' is a breath of fresh air. I also believe that there is an inherent desire that people have to do good.

I’m not a fan of social media, but as I work on my book and want to promote my work, I’m starting to explore a little more. Is there anything else out there that’s gaining ground other than X, Meta and TikTok that people are finding interesting?

If I was to read anything by Ursula Le Guin as one who is interested in gender and community, what would you recommend?

Just finished “Tell Me What You Want” by @justinlehmiller.bsky.social. My biggest takeaway: “Instead of searching for the right person, focus on being the right person (pp 224).”
This #Valentine, find those who love you by loving yourself.

Just found out that one of my few favourite fiction authors passed away on February 9th. Tom Robbins, author of “Still Life With Woodpecker,” “Another Roadside Attraction “ and “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues” was 92. Thank you your bizarre sense of humour, Tom Robbin’s!

Just finished @gentlemanjane.bsky.social, Jane Ward's "The Tragedy of Heterosexuality." Very nuanced, it looks at heterosexuality's potential in the last chapter after ripping it up from a queer perspective in the previous chapter.

A few days ago my 30yo stepson lined up behind me at the grocery store. We were talking in line and when I left, he said loud enough for many to hear, “Love you!”
I replied, “Love you too.”
I’m proud we said it aloud in public. I hope more men can feel comfortable enough in public to do the same.

Sometimes the best self-care going to a burlesque performance for the first time in years. Like 1950s pin ups, it’s cheesy, playful and almost edgy in a nostalgically innocent way.

Can someone remind me who first said, “The opposite of love is not hate, the opposite of love is indifference.”

Reading Orenstein’s “Boys and Sex.”
Internet porn as it is today wasn’t available until I was nearing40. While most young hetro men know it’s fantasy, they’re still bombarded by images of unrealistically submissive women and unknowingly act in kind.

Some crave structure, and then when they find it, they notice how exclusive that structure is. Some find guidelines too flexible and yet that allows for inclusive participation. If policy demands proof and productivity, who decides who can and cannot participate?

I’ve treated and assessed many hundreds of self-identified porn addicts. Most of them eventually say something like “Doc, I can’t stop masturbating.” It’s funny though. Not a single one of them was doing so as they told me that.

I’m a day late, but happy 10th anniversary of dating (we still have 14 months before our 10year commitment/“marriage” anniversary) to my other partner, Rebecca. We had a wonderful meal last night at our favourite Greek Restaurant, and a pleasant evening together. Love you! & here’s to many more!

As a U.S. ex-pat, watching what is happening there, I feel helpless. It’s like watching an old friend dive deeper into isolation and addiction and implementing policies that further that isolation and the desire to self medicate.
