Short Fiction: The Thing in the Well: (an homage to the other HP)

Sven-the-Younger jammed uncomfortably small mittens onto growing adolescent hands as his mother held out the bucket for him to take.  “Lower the chain all the way,” she admonished in shrewish tones.  “The top is brackish and foul!” “Marta is brackish and foul!” Sven teased his sister. Marta glared up from her artless embroidery, and Sven’s …

Caution: Breathers Breathing

I’m not sure what my blogging situation will be, after Tuesday.   Wednesday am it’s an early trip to the airport, and goodbye island home.  I can’t get all the way to where I’m going in one day, so it’s a night at my favorite airport hotel in Phoenix!  You know you travel a lot …

Naked Agenda is the New Black

Y’all know I’m vegan, right, and from my perspective it seems most people hardened into their hardheartedness and pseudoscience on the topic of diet a long time ago, and aren’t interested in looking at it with fresh eyes.  It still happens now and then, and more alternatives are available at more grocery stores every year; …

Call a Spade a Spade

Let’s talk about body/workout stuff!   Because, I feel a little flummoxed this morning on topics.  The things I’ve already said, I mostly just want to say again, only stronger.  But what else is there to say?  I think the vaccine is shady.  I think COVID is a shady form of the flu.  I think …

Look the Other Way

I gotta help with a vehicle shuffle thing in about an hour so gotta reach for the low hanging fruit, here.  Not bad, just first things on my mind. The vaccine adverse reaction mega-Prezi is back up, after the link not working for some time, so here it is.  Please click it — when I …

A Day in the Life I’m Loving & Leaving

I’m procrastinating on audiobook narrating.  The last chapter was about her ex-boyfriend trying to abduct her, and then the new boyfriend saved her, and then the girlfriends brought over ice cream to commiserate, and I can get into it but…I just need a minute.   Just need a minute.   Burf is the most self-sufficient …

Enwolved

Prerequisite to my own training as a certified Completion Process practitioner, this April, I had a CP session facilitated by the practitioner of my choice.  I chose Mark Scott, via a semi-random, semi-intentional sorting process, and had my Zoom session yesterday.   Reactions: shoulda done this earlier!  Taking myself through the CP has been good; …

Please, Dislike Me for Me

What a crux the last few days have been!  It was a full moon, the time of culminations and fulminations.  Nick and I have been at odds with each other, deeply, just as do-or-die cooperation deadlines arrived.  My brother and his business partner are locked into an awful game of financial mortal kombat, which I …

Charging

I read that Ripple, XRP, uses far less energy than Bitcoin or Ethereum for transactions — a reason in itself to pull ahead, as more people accept the premise of cryptos and the hyper egregious level of security associated with Bitcoin becomes less crucial.  And I heard Theta got a new node.  That’s good because …

Big Skirt Energy

I think I’ll write my long-neglected blog: why pretty dresses?   So first off, I’m talking a shit ton of actual fabric.  You might think I mean something along these lines:   But I do not.  Nothing wrong with that, if you’re aware of, and in command, of the rhetorical/tactical situation, its consequences and its …
