Meh, some banal stuff about me. I like books, music, hockey, 'mingos, my grandchildren and tech. I am on Mastodon as @max_headroom@mindly.social. I am "watched the moon landing live" years old

Don't hide your light. The shadows are too aggressive these days for you to be silent. Sing out. Not just in anger at the shadows, but with ideas, with love, with insight, with creativity, with hope. Remind others that humanity is more than the handful of people talking and spending the most.

My husband and I went on a self-guided tour of a bacon factory and he was so worried we would get lost, but I was like babe, I know this place like the back of my ham.

AI can say it is panicking. It cannot actually produce adrenaline. AI can say it loves you. It cannot produce oxytocin. AI says words it has learned from people who produce these chemicals. There is nothing behind it but programming.

Nebraska: I have been personally wounded by those of you who cheered on the president's assertion that letting Iran nuke my children would be a small price. I still hope nothing terrible happens to your beautiful state, nor to however many non-murderous people live in it, ever.

"Warping Head on the Winch" - Photographed September 8, 2026, in Wanchese Harbor, North Carolina. 📷
From Wartsila.com

"A cylinder-like fitting at the end of winch or windlass shafts. The fiber line or wire rope is hauled or slacked by winding a few turns around it, the free end being held taut manually as it rotates. Warping ends are used mostly for auxiliary purposes such as hauling ropes across a deck or for handling additional mooring lines."

Before you get angry about a dumb screenshot of a tweet from a blue checkmark, maybe ask yourself this question: Is there anything else in the entire known universe I could otherwise be thinking about?

The most effective cure for bigotry is genuinely knowing enough people in the category to recognize their individuality beyond the type, and that's a hard place for a bigot to reach.

The indifference is not just at Cornell; our country knowingly elected a sexual predator… twice! There are so many examples of how our culture programs young men to be this way. We have social media platforms amplifying violent misogyny. Rarely are there ever consequences for any of it.

My love is earned, and that does not stop at the national level. America needs to give me a *reason* to love it besides "This is where your mom was when they pulled you out of her hoo-ha." And no, I can't "just leave." Anywhere substantially better does not want me.

The Great Divider - 2026 #Nature #Art #AbstractArt #Painting #NaturalProcessPainting #FractalExpressionism #LorenGAN
When a people are intentionally divided, it robs them of their collective power to stop what happens to them against their will - it prevents their will from manifesting.

In this, we can see a red area intentionally divided from a blue area by a strange mechanism that looks to be made from natural forces, but are they?

Even the courses of rivers can be altered when the will of the people is allowed to speak. When it isn't, we reserve the right to yell instead.

Thank you for your interest in my artwork!
