Follow me at your own peril. I might just block you.

By reading the past, I see the future.

Survived the Camp Fire and Helene. So, I'm maybe ahead of you... for now. But don't worry, you'll catch up!
Well, Alexander ended the Persian Empire. Fucker.

So we skip 1,000 years ahead (Fuck them Romans) to the Golden Age of Islam.

Mister isn't impressed. 🤷

Mr. Mister and I are getting an education in the history of the Persian Empire.

Mister was very sad when Darius died. 😢

The sassafras tree in our front yard. It's different every year. Some years, it turns pure yellow.

The top 1% have more wealth than the entire middle class.

Is America Great Again yet?

Ours are too stupid and lazy to plot a coup.

These are my students from Fall 2018. They raised over $2500 for a fund to help Camp Fire victims. That what the T-shirts are for.

I loved them so much. ❤️❤️❤️

Give to your local food banks.
Give to Meals on Wheels.

Give $1. $5.

If your belly is full, you can give.

It should be illegal to be hungry in the "richest" country in the world.

We're lucky, we can give. Very lucky. If you aren't hungry, you can give too.

Give to your local food banks.

Whatever you can.

People need food!

Fun fact of the day!

If you compressed human history since 8,000 BCE into a single year, the first cities would have emerged at the end of May. The ancient Egyptian kingdoms lasted about 2 months in the summer. Rome existed for the month of October, and the US was founded 3 days before Christmas.

One description of the Kali Yuga.*

Seems vaguely familiar. I understand that it doesn't end well.

Fun fact of the day!

If the Milky Way were the size of a beach ball, the known universe would be about the size of Missouri.

Think of a single beach ball in the space of the entire state of Missouri - probably forgotten and collecting dust in someone's attic on the outskirts of Springfield.

Sitting in my office minding my own business...

If today requires washing down my Xanax with bourbon while watching the history of Babylon with a cat in my lap, then so be it.

Turns out, the local bears like Halloween too.

Every single pumpkin had at least one bite out of it this morning.
