When I think of the above image, I am drawn to a post made a few weeks ago, by my friend Bruce Gerencser. Bruce would be the first to tell you that he is in constant, chronic pain. He also understands his own body, and his own needs, having managed his conditions for many years. […]
Do I get to pick the universe? Can I choose multiple universes? Well, whether I can or can’t, I’m going to do anyway. Doctor Who Aside from the strong possibility of dying at the hands of any one of a variety of monsters, I don’t think my life would be substantially different. Star Wars There’s […]
For the second day running, you can thank William, of the Warthog Report, for a prompt! This time the question is ‘favourite time travel story’, but what – or when (heh) – is the answer? It is tempting to reach for the low-hanging fruit of Doctor Who. Time travel is a defining element of the […]
This is question posed by William, of the Warthog Report (yes, this meerkat found himself a warthog acquaintance, a Pumba to my Timon, or a William to my Ben, if preferred). William has inspired two consecutive prompts, this being the first: What are some rereleases and remakes of works you like that deeply bother you? […]
There are plans afoot for the platform formerly known as Twitter (and now rather absurdly called X) to remove the block feature. Elon Musk considers himself a champion of free speech, and believes the block feature makes no sense. Users will be able to mute others, but will no longer be able to shield themselves, […]
On the 28th of August, 1963 (60 years ago today), civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr gave what would become one of the world’s most famous speeches, and did so on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C, before a crowd of some 250,000 people, as well as on camera. Mr King […]
I recently posted about the idea that former US president Donald Trump is being persecuted, and why I believe that idea is preposterous. I wrote that post because Citizen Tom decided to dissect a comment I’d made elsewhere. Tom duly responded to that post, but it’s the comments on Tom’s post that I am more […]
So… this is sort of meta? WordPress has a daily prompt feature, and sometimes I’ve used it, though a lot of the prompts I use are inspired by suggestions/web-browsing. I’m rather glad to have largely avoided the WordPress Prompt, because I’ve noticed a lot of repetition of late. In particular, there’s the ‘list’. ‘List 30 […]
In the wake of what is the fourth arrest/arraignment/indictment/whatever of Donald Trump (I think it’s the fourth, there seems to be a new case every week), I have seen posts that would have us believe Trump is a victim, that his fight is for justice, and for the common man. Everyone is of course entitled […]
The humble toilet. A familiar sight across many households, and something we are all quite familiar with (I certainly should be, considering I sell the things!). We all know what goes on when we use a toilet, and whilst we don’t openly discuss the, ah, unpleasantries, they are a fact of life, natural bodily functions, […]
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...
