I just found a version of "Wind in the Willows" narrated by Andrew Wincott. You know damn well I'm buying it, even if it's a little twisted to hear Raphael's voice reading this lovely tale of Mole and the Water Rat. 😆

I don't think of it in terms of elitism. I just felt more at home there. It was a place where I had more in common with who were about. Bear in mind, when I use the word "nerds." I'm not using the 1980s view of nerds. I'm using the current view which is viewed as "cool" and "interesting."

I was working for a chain called Crown Books way back in my early 20s when the whole kerfuffle occurred. I believe we did special orders for it, despite the opposition from some circles. I miss that Super Crown I worked at. My second favorite job after my current one.

Ah yes, back in the day when I worked at the bookstore and there was controversy about selling/special ordering of that book. Yes, many many years ago - before the Internet was a real thing.

I then had the assemblage photographed, and a sepia-toned print was made of it in the appropriate dimensions. Using the sepia photoprint as my "underpainting," I finished the painting in my regular acrylic paints. It was an enjoyable excursion into strange territory for me. 2/3

ARISE (1990) Mixed media - 20" x 20" I took the opportunity with this commission—an album cover for Sepultura—to experiment and have fun. After completing a small stack of tone renderings of textures and distorted faces, I photocopied them, cut them out, and recombined them. 1/3

Gods, I just played "Space Invaders" at Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum last weekend and thought: "Hey, could I get a Senior Gamer Discount on this scoring?"

It was a different gaming galaxy.... far far away.

Keeping Trump out of the White House isn’t the only thing that needs doing and it isn’t enough to solve all problems facing the country & world but if it isn’t done then all those problems get exponentially worse in ways I don’t even know how to express and it scares me when people pretend otherwise

I have two things to say about CPR. Actually 3. 1. Learn CPR. If you can't take a formal class for time/money reasons, go watch shit online. 2. You won't harm someone by performing CPR if they need CPR. You cannot make someone more dead. 3. Most CPR fails. Do it anyway.

The Great Barrier Reef has experienced five mass bleaching events in the last decade – the most recent in March this year. It was the most severe and widespread mass bleaching event ever recorded there.

At Lizard Island, 97% of coral is dead.

Today's #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is of some little blue penguins (in te reo, kororā) which are undeniably the CUTEST because they are... well I guess they are also aptly named because they are the littlest penguin species. Size of a bag of sugar. And although they are small, they are TOUGH.
