Thermodynamics
Entropy is working against me
And entropy wants to slow me down
Oh, I'll never know what makes this flow
With all the ways that it could go
Find new ways to throw it all away
Oh, twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one half could
Entropy will send me to my knees

Natural Order
Fascists and anarchists both hold that the natural order is that the powerful will use the law to control and constrain the powerless. They differ in their chosen reaction. Fascists choose to worship power, while anarchists seek to murder it.

Oh, disaster! I fainted from the exertions of my ceremonial duties and was carried out to recover on a couch. The shame! Terrible things happen on couches, I am told.

I speak to you now from the portico of the Temples of the Sun. I pause to consider the coincidences between our lives in Punjmeet and yours in America and pass them on to you, via my excellent secretaries.

I am an old white cis-male curmudgeon. I used to bridle at being asked if I am a feminist. It then occurred to me that this is basically asking if I believe women are fully human…
Yes, I do.
Yes, I do.

I have been republican for a long time but I must concede that Donald Trump is a devastatingly effective argument in favour of constitutional monarchy. Imagine if the OOOTUS (Orange Oaf Of the United States) had to visit Uncle Sam at the Palace once a week and explain himself. It could do no harm…….

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

What gives with all these OF girlies suddenly following me? Multiple follows all pointing to the same OF links? Where were you when I was 17 !? As I am now 63, is there any way to shut them off??
