It depresses the hell out of me that people I grew up with or am related to have turned into people that I wouldn’t tell where Anne Frank was hiding.

I cannot stress this enough: Do not be a bystander, do not shrug the madness off or let comments or behavior slide. Do not be charitable to the willfully ignorant or cruel. Do not take the high road, or give unearned grace. Save your soft touch for those under attack.

Random Scotto factoid:

My name is not short for Penobscot, Scotichronicon, scotopia, biscotti, Prescott, or wainscot.

I may have had one or more of those as nicknames, however.

Breath control could have saved the planet.

Just one more day until National Gorilla-suit day!

I am happy to dispose of my stuff of Neil Gaiman as I am to have trashed everything by Gerard Jones.

There are too many people out there who don’t bring to mind being a monster.

The same goes for Warren Ellis, Frank Miller, and John Byrne.

I won’t give money to folks still alive that suck.

Still got the shakes, but trees don’t need awesome line work.

Just a lil wandering dude on the Appalachian Trail , who may be rethinking doing it in late January.  Upside, he isn’t doomscrolling.

Anti-intellectualism is usually a feature of authoritarianism because bad ideas require coercion while good ones stand the test of reason.–Quote on side of herbal tea box.

Day 20,448

Shaky hands make for a good “underwater” look. Even with smoothing, this looks rough.

Funny how stresses, either physical or mental, can make everything at least a little more difficult, or a bit lower quality.

My favorite character from Fallout lore – Harold. He (and Bob) have been the highlight of most of the games.

Just a few pictures of Pearl from today make things a little sweeter.
