Our travels brought us to the British Museum today- I could spend a week there. I did learn a lot. For instance- the Elgin Marbles in real life, versus the Elgin Marbles in my head. #travelsky

#OptOut2026 Things I will not be participating in this year #4 Products that advertise themselves as ‘Therapeutic.’ I don’t need therapeutic lotion, shampoo, shaving cream, hand lotion, etc. What are the FDA regulations for making such claims anyway?

Designated Survivor

I grew up in the 70s and 80s and some things that I am eternally grateful that I got to experience are: Arthouse Cinemas, the Independent Comics explosion, and affordable concerts. #filmsky #comicsky #musicsky

I noticed this fellow peeking down at me from a #Paris rooftop today. I wonder what his story is. #writingcommunity

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (surprisingly available in the market downstairs from my Paris Airbnb)

Post a female character you love.

On my mind this sad evening.

Drop an alien that's not from Star Wars or Star Trek I mean, obviously

Time for a week in Paris, France! I’m not much into site seeing (we’ll manage a few iconic sites), but like to walk neighborhoods. Staying in St. Denis and on a random walk came across this mural in a working class neighborhood. I was stunned. Druillet is one of my favorite comic creators. #comicsky

Technofeudalism is raising the rent already.

Alright let’s do this #FourComics that made me fall in love with comics By the Gods- that Savage Sword issue has People of the Black Circle and Worms of the Earth! Peak Conan!

Post the first four cosmic events that you still love to read to this day #comicsky

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42. Post the second sentence. "It also seemed as if he was studying the molluscs with his one remaining eye.” #booksky

I have to admit that having been a sorcerer’s apprentice in my youth definitely helped my #fantasy writing. #writingcommunity

Name a hero you would never invite to dinner. Nero Wolfe. First, he probably wouldn’t come and if he did your food would never live up to his standards and he would let you know it scathingly. Now if he invited me to his brownstone for dinner… #booksky #detectives

Traveling in non-English speaking countries, one has limited book choices. I was pleased to nab this. Never read Asher before and Wikipedia assured me this was a ‘standalone’ book. Ha! I’m piecing the backstory together & do like it, but it is hardly an entry point into his universe. #booksky #scifi

Name a book that should be made into a movie or TV series. #booksky The Elric Saga

#OptOut2026 Things I will not be participating in this year #4 Not being surveilled enough by your laptop, security cams, and smart TV? Consider wearable tech to report health data to the Cloud Gods. I Opt Out of any health tracking tech until they hold me down and shove it up my ass.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

Post a comic cover you love. #comicsky

#OptOut2026 Things I will not be participating in this year #3 As we are in the NFL playoffs, I am glad that I am not a gambler. Fan Duel and its ilk are a scourge, and I urge all of you to OPT OUT of all gambling apps and such. It’s bad enough there are casinos everywhere. When is enough enough?

And I just blocked a creative whose work I very much enjoy. Shocked at the level of condescension. Oh well. People are imperfect, and I don’t need that in my playground.

Post the cover of a book you love from the 90s. (Any century!) #BookSky #bookchallenge #readingchallenge #readingcommunity

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

As a school administrator, one of the best trainings I ever set up for my staff was on de-escalation, presented by a local judge. Everyone loved it. But I guess that’s just so 2019.

We are cursed to live in craven times.

Hard to argue with that

Currently reading a simple philosophy book (and understanding maybe every 10th sentence, as usual) and I gleaned this from the first few pages- obvious? Yes. Yet it resonates with me. Intention without action gets the same result as no intention at all. #writingcommunity #booksky

Lots of brilliant scholars and great institutions to follow in here! 👇🏽 #AcademicSky

I was obsessed with platypuses as a child after reading an encyclopedia article about them (yes, I’m that old). First story I ever pounded out on mom’s Royal typewriter was about them. #writingcommunity.

2026 Book 2: I finally finished this book. A mixed bag for sure, but its moments of sheer brilliance outweigh any complaints. I’ve not read enough challenging fiction lately (or enough frivolous non-fic?). I love my pulp, but I need to maintain a balance. #booksky

#WritersCoffeeClub 11/1: Name a poet who has influenced you I read a lot of poetry in my formative years so I guess it’s baked in somewhere. Those influential in my writing? 1- Brautigan 2. Cummings 3. Dickey 4. Rimbaud Note to self: Go back to reading poetry! #writingcommunity

An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. - Charles Bukowski

#OptOut2026 Things I will not be participating in this year #2 I hate to be extreme, but anyone using the term ‘normie’ gets an instant block. Seriously my friends on the left, insulting/condescending to centrists is no way to return to power. Do you want to feel superior or do you want to govern?

I really enjoyed this podcast by two of my favorite contemporary intellectuals. Give it a listen. #musicsky #politics
