You may have your Jurassic Park Sam Neill, leave me my Restoration Sam Neill.

Having been (kicked) off Facebook for a while now—and not really caring to return—I realized that I very much used it as what in earlier days would have been called a “commonplace book.” So, I give you:

Orange-yellow covered notepad with “Commonplace Book 1” written on the cover, and a wooden pencil laying across the cover.

I couldn't recall "El Palacio de los Jugos" right off the top of my head, so I called it "El Rey de las Frutas." I'm so tired. #Miami

I used to jokingly describe my job as “government drone.” I should probably stop doing that.

"Looking at the earth from afar you realize it is too small for conflict and just big enough for cooperation." - Yuri Gagarin. "We See No Borders Here" (2021) also a pastiche of a great space program poster. #art #cat #space

A cat poster in the style of a mid-century space program propaganda poster. On the left is a closeup of a cat face in a space helmet. To the right, a stylized rocket with colourful streams of combustion blasts upward. The background is black space with stars. In bottom corner is the text "We See No Borders Here. To Peace and Prosperous Unification We Go!"

At this point, we deserve something like a car smash fundraiser, not a DVT.

So the hotel wouldn't let my delivery driver come up to leave the food at my door last night while I was on a Zoom call. Today I enter a public bathroom outside the conference center to see a handgun just lying on the floor, as if it had come off dude's belt... at least Florida is never dull.

Workers have the power to make a land of kibble and fish for all. Our sturdy tomcat constructs a bowl. Swirls of abundant milk, fish, kibble, and catnip arise and fill the background. #art

A monochrome cat poster in red drawn like a late 19th-century illustration. A cat in work overalls holds up a hammer ready to strike a bowl he is constructing on an anvil. The background is a swirl of abundant milk, fish, kibble, and catnip. Text within a bordered frame reads "Socialist League - Join Your Local Today"

I’m deeply ashamed that I once voiced the notion of becoming a U.S. Senator. In my defense, I think I was in the 8th grade.

Beloit, WI revitalized its waterfront and chose this way to celebrate it: by bringing to life Georges Seurat's "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte."

From W.E.B. DuBois, Black Reconstruction (1935): But to most of the four million black folk emancipated by civil war, God was real. They knew Him. They had met Him personally in many a wild orgy of religious frenzy, or in the black stillness of the night.🧵 1/5

Planning a weekend trip to NYC, looking at the map on the Googles and scrolled passed the Arthur Ross Pinetum in Central Park, which my horrible mind read as the "Arthur Ross Perineum." Sorry, Arthur.
