@takingtime.bsky.social In reference to your FB post a week ago or so, please don't burn my shit down if you visit later this year. I can direct you to the property of several MAGA neighbors if the feeling does not subside.

Americans know little of their own history, less of that of other countries. Cambodia would be a useful start. In 1975, the Khmer Rouge took over and destroyed this once-lovely country in the name of a destructive ideology. Trump/MAGA is our Khmer Rouge. Read about it. Our destruction has just begun

Shout "You lie!" whenever that man does so. You will become hoarse quickly, but truth is called for more than ever these days.

Nice idea, Shannon! My first one is Momofuku, by Dave Chang. Not surprisingly, it's fundamentally a cookbook.

Yes! In warmer weather, though!

Hi Teresa, and Happy New Year! We are both following each other on this platform, but I promise you it won't deteriorate into stalking. DL.

Yes, it irresponsible in that the goal is not to shrink government but to replace a politically neutral civil service with one that will follow Trump's bidding explicitly.

The other one is a web site I have maintained continuously since August 2001, www.wakeisland1975.com. which is a mashup of the last 50 years of my life, complete with journals, photographs, an interview, and videos. In the latter, I amalways wearing Aloha shirts, I am pleased to say.

Because of the enforced parsimony of this medium, I'll mention 2 more sources of information for you voyeurs. First is a blog I began, called "Death Rattles," prematurely predicting my own demise after retiring in 2013. Though I stopped writing in it, it is at www.denlowd.com.

Well, I learned from my first attempt at contact that Bluesky has a word count monitor. So much for writing in complete sentences. I'm a retired philosophy teacher, divorced, living alone, cooking each weekend in my kitchen for homeless people and taking the food to a local park to serve them.
