Itinerant spectral dog. Moonlights as geek-lite entrepreneur & penniless bon vivant. Attempting #multilingual mediocrity 🇩🇪🇮🇹🇫🇷🇳🇱 #Neurodivergent
Just met @herring1967.bsky.social in Norwich. Although his Wikipedia entry humbly states he is 5’7”, I can confirm that the nurse who measured him at the chemotherapy clinic was correct: he is a giant among men. Look how he dwarfs me!

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
