Twitter's algorithm seems really stupid.
I broke down and created a Twitter account about three months ago (Sept. 17 to be exact!) because of an artist who put things there that I desperately wanted to see.
The account has two tweets (one of the "math is hard" meme I uploaded here, one of new audio I added to a show) and a few retweets (art from people who drew things for me and ( Read more... ) -
Life Lessons
A lesson I've learned is: be among the first to abandon a friend who is sick. Just walk away ( Read more... ) -
Thinking about church
The other day I was thinking of checking out the Advent services at the church I last attended in 2020. I suppose they would consider me still a member; it's Missouri Synod Lutheran, and they tend to be possessive of members ( Read more... ) -
Comics? Collage? College?
Finally got a twitter; it was in order to view some interesting animation that was inaccessible without an account.
So I made a "post 1" to upload so the account isn't just silent.
It's a comic about some of my experiences teaching at a community college, cut and pasted together out of those junky faces you see in memes.

Guns and shootings
A preoccupation that some people on the fringe of gun rights movements have is "false flag operations". They accuse families of the victims to be actors, and their grief an act because all along the victims were fake--they never existed. The story was fabricated just to sway public opinion one way or another ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I read about people saying that they can't find work in Discords and in a Telegram group. The news says there are jobs galore, so many that places are desperate to hire. Both are true at the same time.
If you can't imagine how that can be without anyone lying...don't worry. That's completely normal. -
First stumbling block I have with Dobbs vs Jackson
Dobbs vs Jackson Women's Health Organization is the decision that overturned Row vs Wade, and Planned Parenthood vs Casey (usually referred to collectively as Roe and Casey). I've found the actual opinion and have been reading it. I'd like to hear their own words (primarily Alito's, since he is the author of the opinion) and not get a filtered ( Read more... ) -
Summer Reading
Willa Cather is always held up as the great example of a famous female author from my home state, Nebraska. She often overshadows other authors, especially her contemporaries. I've started to read a book written by one of those, Mari Sandoz, titled Old Jules which is about her father's life a settler ( Read more... ) -
Summer Plans
I just finished the only vacation I'll be taking this summer (as far as I know) where I leave town. I visited some graduation parties for members of the family who've finished certain levels of schooling, handing out money and played a lot of card games and dominos (that seems to be the usual family pasttime now when several of us get together ( Read more... ) -
Comic idea
Something I might try to pass on to an artist I know at some point.
This dates back two years or so. I didn't want it to slip 100% away.
There was no vaccine; many businesses were closed. Grocery stores had certain items out of stock, you just had to go and hope you were lucky. A familiar pair drives home from a visit to their local shop.
A: It ( Read more... )
