I went to OB this morning and had fun. I can feel the summer winding down. I’ve not posted to IG lately in favor of other platforms, including my own website. And the world… well, it’s a difficult time for so many right now. There’s so much misery: much of it inflicted by terrible and often venal leadership. Be good to yourself, and be good to others.

“Totems”: Trollface and Heart-hands I grew up in the 20th Century. Because of that, I suspect my first experience of the word “totem” was probably in a piece of fictional media (television, probably) where the word “totem pole” was used. That usage was likely not respectful to the Native Americans depicted in the fiction. see Reel Injun That doesn’t...
