There are a LOT of people who identify as Pequot, today. And there are a lot of Pequot people who are interested in maintaining their culture, and who are actively doing so. To suggest they have no culture seems rather insulting and speaks nothing to persistence and really highlights issues of visibility in the 21st…

Just a thought: celiac disease is something you are born with, but in some people it does not manifest until later in life. Often it will lie dormant until ‘something’ triggers it into activity. That ‘something’ is often some form of extreme stress that has impact on your body. This might be a mental stress or a…

There are also electric spinning wheels, or e-spinners, and supported spindles (like a drop spindle only it rests on a surface so you dont have to support the weight). Both are popular amongst folks with many varieties of physical limitations. E-spinners are not cheap, but then neither are spinning wheels - though…

‘Terence, this is stupid stuff:
You eat your victuals fast enough;
There can’t be much amiss, ‘tis clear,
To see the rate you drink your beer.
But oh, good Lord, the verse you make,

Oh. My. God.

Thank you.

Here for whatever is going on in the background of that gif! Good times, they appear to be! Happier, slappier days...

Word chili cheese fries?

That sounds beautiful!

At least the book, ya know, ends.... The freaking show has a ‘next season.’ Bleak or not, I was expecting an ending. Open-ended realistic terror was not what I signed up for...

Watched it in “celebration” of the Fourth of July because it seemed appropriate...

Are...are you saying that The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac were basically the only non-disco bands in the seventies??! I...I don’t get it? There was sooooo much music available at that time, the mind boggles to think what you mean! Hell, that super smooth Steely Dan, Chicago, Boston, etc. stuff that I personally cannot…

“Orange and gold wool robe lined with cheetah fur”

That’s why the article is so perfect. It is literally every Steely Dan fan ever! Fagen included. It’s a fact! I love it!
