I am a refugee. A hopeless (lower case) democrat, a very unattached romantic, a lover of the eccentric and just. Ancient photography, ancestry, and jazz; all loved passionately.

If you're ever on St. Thomas, in a concrete, open air home of someone you don't know but suddenly find yourself dancing along with 50 other friends of the homeowner, at 3am? And it's 103 degrees? This is the song you want to dance to. youtu.be/kA7wiBhh8OE?...

A few from today's visit to Fort Point down below the Golden Gate Bridge.

Meanwhile.. in #London 👇

'St. Paddy's Day' is usually preferred over 'St. Patty's Day.' 'Paddy' is the shortened form of the original Irish spelling of 'Patrick,' which is 'Pádraig.' 'Patty' is the shortened form of 'Patricia.'

Pence (the putz) thinks it's enough to say it and then delete it. It's too terrifying to think of the repurcussions if he left it up there and the grip the orange-tinged traitor has on his balls should tighten.

#ProudBlue #50501movement Are you a U.S. armed forces veteran? Do you love a veteran and you’re concerned about the huge cuts to the VA? Raise your voice on 3/14 with thousands of protesters nationwide. Noon in DC, your state capitol or other cities. All are welcome! Indivisible.org

Sending this one out to all the loose ions out there. If you're looking for any solace from yours truly, I'm all tapped out, atm. If you were here, I could offer you my right Tozo ear bud. Maybe a nod of commiseration. youtu.be/Nv7qiB8Q_cM?...

Feels good to be sewn into the tapestry of @bsky.app :)

At this point, I should think we'd all be glad to give up an hour of this wretched existence. Unscathed, no less.

TCM offering up some thoughtful Women's Day fare last night. "Craig's Wife" an interesting story of one woman's overwhelming compulsion to maintain control of her household and those in it. "Merrily We Go to Hell" reminded me of the early lives of Lois and Bill Wilson and how grateful I remain.

There is a certain tit for tat justice in capital punishment that often, if not always, goes horribly wrong and should be denounced. Leave it to a flinty, down easter with a passion for the macabre to point out when it's justified. Mr. King, your serve sir.

Hey? If all of this *waving my hands disgustedly* has you down? If the prospect of having to get that ol' clock down off the wall and manually move the hands forward again has you wondering, why? If noone else tells you this today - I love you! Ain't that right, Dickey? youtu.be/UToUzWgHGyQ?...

The saddest fucking thing? Noone wearing a badge is willing to arrest him. Not one law enforcement or military official.

I know I'm late to the party but really, who isn't a huge fan of @karlanthonytowns.bsky.social 🏀

The @ny-knicks.bsky.social are just not believers in themselves yet. Which is a shame because I know a few fans who do believe in them.

Less than 48 hours later, the orange-tinged traitor "temporarily" rescinds his asinine "tariffs" aka #marketmanipulation Canadian Ambassador Bob Rae should liten to his own advice. Instead of capitulation, he needs to go elbows up. 🇨🇦

He reminds me of Pat Moynihan. And Tip O'Neil. And Murray Kempton. And if there's anyone who finds the orange-tinged traitor more a buffoon than I, it's @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

Tillamook and a Knicks win, baby. 🍨🏀😊✌️🪴
