I know that’s a wolf under that sheep’s clothing. But we’re having a lovely conversation. - Rowan Rabe

An utopia defined by free real estate - Rowan Rabe
(I'm not posting the Tim and Eric meme.) Once a church stood here. But I've deconstructed it, scavenged it for my own use, pick the island clean of resources, and even used it as a dump for my volcanic ash and beach sand seriously I can only make so much glass waste, and not a

Habits of tyranny - Rowan Rabe
(Note: I wrote the bulk of this a month ago, when the murder of Alex Pretti was still fresh news. It's been years since a month ago.) I'm not very disciplined even in whatever self-imposed ad-hoc ethical system I've imposed upon myself. I believe--intellectually--that good and evil are things that you do, not things that

Science camp comic original: (

Scholarly pursuits - Rowan Rabe
Been a bit dead around here of late. I do have a science camp comic on the backburner that involves Labubu(s). I don't know what the proper plural is and I'm sure if I asked the kids I have this afternoon their opinion they'd go with the English-speaker's tendency to pluralize with 's' if uncertain.

Auditory Madeleines: part whatever - Rowan Rabe
I'm becoming convinced there are certain songs I need to relegate to a certain period in my life. Or--only listen to them when I want to recall a certain period. I have heard The Eagles multiple times since childhood and the reaction I had in Okawachiyama was exceptionally strong given the contrast between rural Kyushu
