That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I whipped some of the backyard into shape. I realized I'm not so much a gardener as a plant coach, cutting the weak ones from the team, encouraging the good ones to stretch out and grow.

And, occasionally, slipping some steroidsfertilizer to the really deserving ones.

Our wings are not tired.

Maybe you should watch that other video, Tommy.

Isn't that an oxymoron? At least if they are performing a coordinated effort?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I went to the library and the park, where a middle aged Mexican man tried to pick me up. Good times. At least he went away after I asked him to the first time.

“Not dead yet!”

Happy Birthday, beth!

Publix's spicy fried chicken wings are fairly crack-like. Especially with Newman's Own Honey Mustard dressing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

one corner of the room done and one piece of furniture moved (in which I discovered something broken on it that needs fixing) and I am pooped.

I've started dinner so that will at least be done, but no way am I finishing the room tonight. darn it.

Umm, no. Not if the organization is voluntary, and has no coercive power. That is as long as both joining is voluntary, and continued cooperatation is also voluntary even exreme individualist anarchists are fine with it. And of course many anarchists are social anarchists rather than individualist anarchists. I often comment that as a somewhat scattered individual I'm nowhere near well organized enough to be an anarchist.

Getting revenge on/protesting dead people by baking their ashes into cookies seems a very odd thing to do regardless. Perhaps this was performance art by dadaists satirizing anarchists? Umm because stupid people never cross the line into self-parody....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How old is middle aged these days?

Managed it up and down the stairs without severe knee pain. This is very exciting.

I don't know how old middle aged is! If you think a lifespan is 80 years, I guess it's 40-60 (if 0-20=youth, 20-40=young adult, 40-60=middle aged, 60-80=old). If you think people are going to be living to 100, I guess it's 50-75. So somewhere in there.
