These, especially the big one on my right arm, hurt. A lot. Which is only to be expected, considering the complexity and placement. Gotta click through…

So, the ink I’m getting tomorrow…
…are these:
Reaction to recent events (please read this)
Quite a lot of unhappy stuff has happened just recently, nationally – stuff that I’ve been reluctant to comment on for various reasons – but I have reactions to them that I’d like to get out there. Read More “Reaction to recent events (please read this)”
Twenty years ago on this date.
Twenty years ago on May 20th, I married my best friend. I’m happy to say that she’s still my best friend, and the best person I have ever known. And I love her more than I ever have. We’re even still married! So, Patrice, here’s to another twenty-plus years together – I love you!
“X things make a post…”
… and I’m in a bit of a writing mood. Stuff and Things have been happening. Most of it good, some of it irritating or plain not fun. In no particular order: The convention I helped run back in March? – I went pretty well, actually. I’ve signed on again for next year, on the […]
Something to note while dealing with me
If, by some chance, I have offended you/pissed you off/made you uncomfortable at some point, it would be best to actually tell me so, in a timely fashion. I am not perfect, I make mistakes, but I sure as hell do not want to hear about them a year later, sans details, from a third party. It […]

Mostly, so far as I can tell, these responses are from white people. And while all lives do matter, it is completely beside the damn point. […]
Feh.
I’m home sick. I’ve been sick all week. The Rainpocalypse is coming (supposedly the worst storm here since 2007). Because I’m sick, my wife and I are missing the Richard Thompson concert across the Bay tonight (she has declined to go without me). I worked from home Monday and today – attempted to work at […]
Happy Thanksgiving day, everyone!
As with last year, I’m on-call for work today, from 6am to 6am tomorrow morning, and like last year, all is quiet. I’m having a very nice day, spending it with my wife and brother and cat. My brother made it known that he wanted to cook today, and so we obliged; he’s making what […]
I’m disgusted and outraged.
I cannot accept the #Ferguson grand jury’s decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson. I can’t condone the violent protests there, but neither can I condemn them. I think to myself, “what if the cops were going after Jewish men & boys?” (I’m Jewish, for the record). Where can you go for justice if the society […]
