#whistpr, #center When the rages started, My Grandmother taught me that there was a calm place in me, in my #center, and she'd touch my chest and say "go there while the rages blow themselves out." Years later when I understood why I raged, I remembered something else she said, "He'll die soon."

#whistpr #fog I knew a few years before he flew by in a blue convertable and dissapeared into the fog of time. When I finally met him no time had passed and his eyes remembered too. When you see a bridge in a dream think twice before you cross especially if there is fog on the other side.

I don't usually do polical here, but this one, to support the need for Lesbian spaces I absolutely support. My mother lived her whole life afraid "someone" would find out and my son is seeing good old-fashioned homophobia on the rise again. #IStandwithSallGrover #GiggleVTickle

God bless the Trappists in Tarnie and the nuns at Chavanod. They hid Jews in WW2 while fleeing across the border into Switzerland.

My family doesn’t really read my work. My mom used to, but that’s mostly it. I’m cool with it, used to it, understand it, am unbothered about it. 😌 That said, my auntie asked me to send her Death of the Author months ago. Got this text from her this morning, 🥹:

It's been a long morning. For those who will understand; rhetoric is not truth. Truth does not need it's service. And I am tired of listening to you.

Now that my eyesight is declining with age, I have noticed how much easier it is to read books produced with relief printing. Reading a 19th century edition of Milton with a tiny font that would normally be illegible with no problem. The depth clues from imprinted paper makes a huge difference

Sometimes I hate being old but sorry, I remember Iran-Contra and that it was recently confirmed that Reagan negotiated to have our hostages held until after the election. What party was all that again?
