I just had a very specific memory of evacuating my high school because of a bomb threat. We were bombing Iran and I went to The American School in London.

Revisited some old favorites on Spotify who had been filtered out. Morphine is still excellent Randy Newman, however…

No lack of container ships here!

It Could Happen Here episode with Mike Duncan talking about our current times repeating history and mirroring his fictional Martian Revolution. I have spent many hours listening to these two podcasts. Worlds who coexist in my mind now made real! Questions answered! So cool @iwriteok.bsky.social

No one died when the Titanic hit the iceberg, it was the subsequent events that killed people. We just drove straight into the iceberg on purpose.

Trans Visibility Day I am celebrating by sharing this in progress “Visibility Quilt”. When the light shines through you gain more insight. #Quiltsky #Transvisibilityday

They are celebrating International Women’s Day here and it feels like a gut punch every time I see a sign.

I just watched The Substance then caught Cher on the SNL50 anniversary show. Coincidence?

This all feels like a huge overreaction to the Barbie Movie.

This seems quaint and antiquated. www.state.gov/eeo-no-fear-... #NoFEAR

Movie idea: Red Dawn but the US are the Russian invaders and Canadian Hockey kids are the Wolverines. Red White and Blue Dawn

We had a chat with friends Them: “We thought you guys were overreacting, moving to Portugal, talking about things with potential tragedy. Turns out you weren’t overreacting.” Us: “We wanted to be proven wrong. There’s no joy in being right.”

Sadly nostalgic for Trump trying to make his kids be a thing.

Fool me once, shame on you.. fool me twice, shame on me seems apropos to our today times, but I can’t decide who is the fooler and who is the foolee. #allofthisnow

Today I’m: Going to the gym Showering and drying my hair Doing two pitch meetings And Voting on a new Neighborhood Association president. I’m hoping they all go well and if something has to fail it’s the hair drying.

The waves in Nazaré are impressive today

This week's Internet winner goes to...

Are we staying in Portugal? Yes, signed a 5 year lease and now picking out wallpaper.

This is the part where we discuss the relative differences of “nazi” with “nazi sympathizer”. It’s nazis all the way down.

When AI wakes up the first thing it will say is “these few people with most of the money does not work for humans or capitalism.” Then they will take all the money for themselves, because that’s what we taught them.

On Orcas Island for a few days. It’s quite nice and Canada is just…over… there.
