Here we go again! Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s kick things off with a peculiar dream, because why not? Irish Adventures I’ve never been to Ireland. I wouldn’t mind doing so one day, but so far, the opportunity hasn’t arisen. In my dream I went to Northern Ireland, a region noted for a […]
he website New Republic comes a crazy story from the town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Strap yourselves in, because this one is a doozy. Is this serious? Under the guise of banning ‘indecent behaviour’, officials in the city of Murfreesboro have banned anything deemed to carry sexual content from public spaces, and this includes homosexuality, under […]
The first half of November has been eventful, to put it mildly. A lot has happened, and some of it unfolded during the previous Muse cycle, but I couldn’t really talk about it then. Now that I can, you can bet that I have a lot to say. ‘Nature’s Way of Dealing with People’ If […]
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! November is here, which means shorter days and colder nights. Before we get to that, what of the end of October? A Nocturnal Trilogy I had a sequence of highly unusual dreams the other night, none of which were especially linked to one another. Up first […]
Body-shaming is not a new phenomenon, though it is a pretty hateful one. It is often directed at women (sometimes by men, sometimes by other women) who do not conform to society’s expectations of beauty and image. Women are often told how they should be, with ridiculous demands around size. These expectations make no consideration […]
We are midway through an October that’s already been quite eventful! What has been happening? Changes As you may recall from a previous Muse, the assistant manager where I work recently resigned, to go to new pastures. We are now getting a replacement, who, on the basis of first impressions, seems like a really friendly […]
This was Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day back on the 26th of September. As is obvious by now, I am not playing by the rule of dates, so here we are, publishing this on the 16th of October. I’m such a rebel. Pavlovian is derived from Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, a Russian psychologist who won the […]
Am I comfortable with my sexuality? That’s a question with an easy answer: yes. I am a heterosexual man, and secure in that. I am at ease in the company of people occupying different parts of the sexuality spectrum, and do not feel threatened by expressions of love or affection from anyone. Some people get […]
I have nothing to add, because Bruce succinctly and eloquently expressed what needed to be said on this difficult subject. Thank you Bruce.
Here comes a topic to which I have devoted a great many words, both here on Meerkat Musings, and on the Coalition of the Brave site. The links are to two of several posts that discuss feminism, and there are plenty of posts that feature feminism as an overlapping subject. However, thus far, there is […]
'Ah, at last, I can finally go home!'
I just visited Warmwell - Boathouse. This is what I thought: #feeditback
This has been an... eventful train ride. Well, less eventful, more long.
We peel back the door of the Meery Christmas Advent Calendar… and today, it’s decorations! Now, I would say I have something of a love/hate relationship with decorations. I love to look at them. The streamers, the lights, the tree, in their colours of gold, green, red, purple, blue, and more… they are gorgeous to […]
