Alas! Must it ever be so? Do we stand in our own light, wherever we go, And fight our own shadows forever?

A strange man into strange things. Always looking to learn and move forward.
One good thing that 45-47 has done is make sure that I never trust the government again. It's amazing seeing how much bullshit every department is spewing in official announcements thanks to this fascist administration.

Trump is over here like the big dumb parade balloon, blocking our view of the real problems with his buffoonery. RFK and Oz are potentially going to cost an unknown number of kids their lives with their gender affirming care actions.

Reading about Appalachian folkways brings back a lot of memories of my childhood. I wish I'd paid more attention when I had the chance to discuss these things with my family.

Donald Trump is objectively one of the worst humans to have ever poisoned the planet.

Good people don't support him.

They simply don't.

His supporters need to be rejected by decent human beings.

No, Good People Don't Still Support Him
Everyone believes they're essentially a good human being.

I know that many of us are older and traditionally older people have a hard time adapting to the nuances of the new. I have spent a lot of time trying to educate myself on the new millennial morality that exists. I try to be an ally and if necessary at least do no harm.

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel" is still one of my favorite opening lines to any book ever.

This is the water, and this is the well. Drink full and descend. The horse is the white of the eyes, and dark within.

I sit here reading Danse Macabre by Stephen King, and he is writing about a period of mass memory and empathy following the Kennedy assassination, and I have to remember he was writing those words almost 20 years to the day before the events of September 11th.

If anyone out there needs something to do on a Saturday night, come along for the #horrorwatch at 9 Eastern Time. This watchalong created by @pauljessup.com is always loads of fun. This weekend we are watching the weird fiction classic From Beyond.

I tell you some days the fountain pen community is hard. I really want to upgrade my pocket Kaweco Sport to a more durable material but I really love the color of the plastic one I currently carry.

Remembering Jack Parsons on the occasion of his Lesser Feast.

This is theft. If you're a publisher you need to have two accounts: Operating, and Royalties. Funds in those two accounts NEVER intermingle, and using R to pay O (or one writer's R to pay another author's) is a breach of your fidiciary duty as a publisher. That simple. Don't steal from your writers!

So tell me? Does JD calling for consequences for free speech open up a very big litigation case for the government attempting to impose first amendment restrictions on people?
