Meh, some banal stuff about me. I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @max_headroom@mindly.social. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

Traditional birthday selfie is late because I slept in due to the major storm last night. P.S. I don't feel guilty hawking my books today--there are seven to choose from!

Well I assume that the followers were lost while on a march - following you through the perils of the dark realm.

Too many years reading various fantasy war series, I guess. I cut my teeth on Zelazny's Amber series

Always tough on the road through the gorge with the waterfall on the left. Too many Bandersnatchi hiding in the trees. Good news is that you can usually recruit replacements in the valley of snowdrops

When Americans were asked to temporarily sacrifice going to their barbers so we could keep the morgues from overflowing, people with guns stormed the Michigan capitol.

I could use some ideas for the Saturday meeting - if you know of any good ways to help make things better right now (candidates to watch, organizations doing good work, good sources of actionable information) - lemme know!

Mid-leap, a black war horse is captured regal in profile against a backdrop of gray-clouded sky. The claw-like hooves and furry lower limbs of the mount suggest an alien world. Turning in its saddle, a red-haired man in gold armor, black cloak, and feathered cap holds a smoldering ball of fire in one hand and a mace in the other. In the low background, a city rises constructed of tall white towers topped with gold spires. Green grows throughout, nature in harmony with the classical architectural detail that includes spired domes and elegant columns.

Once or twice a year, for a change of pace, I work in watercolors as I did here.

A number of paintings I’ve doneβ€”including SNOWFALL and SWORDS AND ICE MAGICβ€”began with an overall wash of color... 1/5

TBH, I regret contributing to a candidate via ActBlue as they seem to have shared my email with every "Blue" candidate in the U.S.

I tend to view you as the poster child for factual, honest posting. On the rare occasion that you post something incorrect, your retraction/correction comes almost immediately.

You are definitely in the stratosphere of integrity

I need to get my life together but I'm kind of waiting to see if the world is going to end before I put any real effort in.

I have never seen any of the Scream movies. I did not know there was a new Scream movie. I was not aware of the very strong feelings everyone had about the new Scream movie. I apologize for all the pain and suffering I have caused.

a white orb covered in black speckles and spots rests on a dark sofa cushion. the left side is a dalmatian’s face, tucked in toward her haunches with her thin tail wrapped up to hug her face. she is looking at the camera with one sleepy brown eye.

This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)
