This month is Inktober where people get a list of prompts and do a (I CERTAINLY HOPE) ink drawing (WITH ACTUAL INK AND ACTUAL PAPER, NOT AI OR TABLETS - HARUMPH). All the drawings I will be posting this month are ink on paper. So there.

The true heroes are the #Sherpas. No lie. This man was the last surviving member of the Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary expedition. If it wasn't for people like Kanchha, these expeditions would not happen. Lived to 92. Respect.

Unfortunately for you, that would be immensely useful to all the grant-starved post-docs who lost their funding in the US.

They are using it as an excuse to delay a vote on the Epstein files.

It's #IndigenousPeoplesDay. Find out the #indigenous territory you live in with this handy map. It's interesting that some places still preserve their original place names, like the neighborhood of Canarsie in NYC and a bunch of places on Long Island and New England.

In my old neighborhood, some hippies had chickens & let them run all over the place. I was driving slowly down the street and this hen strutted across the street while one of the hippies watched and I asked the question and he pointed and said, "Cuz that's where the chicks are!"
