The other day, Ariel of Writing Radiation made a post on my Writing Prompt series, and in a meta-within-meta twist, I’m snatching one of the prompts she listed for this post! I would say I have been reasonably fortunate, and have avoided seriously difficult or insane public behaviour, though there have been one or two […]
Lately, across a couple of different topics, I’ve felt the growing urge to address what I consider to be the hypocrisy of Christian institutions in the USA. In particular, there is the stance on abortion, and the stance on education. There are several overlapping fields here, so bear with me. Sex One argument I have […]
I don’t know if I can say this is about my ‘niche’, but I can certainly compare two popular brands that relate to my interests. These two venerable video game companies have a long, and at times, entwined history. As a kid, I was far more of a Nintendo fan than a Sega fan, but […]
Barabbas recently… well, several months ago, posted a set of questions for people to answer. His questions were aimed at atheists, and I do not consider myself an atheist, but rather an agnostic, however I thought I’d take a crack at the questions. 1. Would you say you are Convinced that God or gods do […]
I’m not sure as to the practicalities of this power. I am struggling to find positive applications that relate to me personally. I can think of a few nefarious uses though. For example, I could rob a few banks. The cameras wouldn’t see anything, because time would be frozen. It would make for an interesting […]
I was sorely tempted to post this on 23/2/23, but that’s not a Wednesday, and Meerkat Muses go out on Wednesdays, no ifs, no buts, no coconuts. Anyway, welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s begin with noise… Refurbs At work, we recently made the discovery that a number of our tiles on our walls […]
So, I will present two scenarios. One of them true, and one of them isn’t. I will leave it to you, the reader, to determine which of these stores is a lie!
I don’t really have what I would consider to be traditions. I mean, do we celebrate Christmas in our house? Yes, albeit it’s the gift giving and receiving part, and the decorations, and the food and family part, rather than the religious aspect. I guess you could call that a traditional Christmas, so to immediately […]
So, the 23/24 season had seen me join Middlesbrough, swiftly get fed up with them, leave them, and join fellow Championship side Blackburn. Blackburn were enjoying a better season than Middlesbrough, though they were very much a mid-table side after 23 games. The second phase of the season would get underway at home to 2nd-placed […]
I dare say I’d ‘hack’ this one. I’d use each wish to wish for the same thing: omnipotence. Since the wish is guaranteed to come true twice, it ensures I become all-powerful. Once omnipotent, I can make myself omnipresent too. Indeed, I’d be able to do absolutely anything I wanted. The third wish would cease […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
Truth be told, I have zero thoughts on adult colouring books. If someone finds them to be therapeutic, or relaxing, then fair play to them. I am not going to judge one way or the other (least of all considering that I still like to play with my model space ships every now and then!).
