I don't know about you all, but I've been on a steady diet of John Oliver, The Daily Show, sudoku puzzles and this. I haven't had a real meal since All Hallows. With the water being gone, there have been more days than showers this week, and I don't even feel that bad about that.… Continue reading The Daily: 10 November 2024
As part of fun times in late capitalism, or as Cory Doctorow puts it, the enshitification of everything, a water main went down last week at the south end of my town. Nobody was hurt though the road is now another gaping hole. However, in the process of fixing it, actually when they were just… Continue reading The Daily: 8 November 2024
I am changing Wednesdays again. I have abandoned the contest on All Poetry because I am not enjoying it. Plain and simple. There is an increasing amount of what I don't like about the world on that medium, as there is everywhere accessed by a keyboard and screen. There is also less, much less, good… Continue reading The Daily: 6 November 2024
We are electing the next President today. I wish we lived in a world where things like Donald Trump did not happen. I wish that we lived in a world in which there was absolutely no question about the outcome of this election now that he has. I wish we lived in a world in… Continue reading The Daily: 5 November 2024
Winter Sleep Moon and Early Winter A Brown Time... The Hunter's Moon went dark on All Hallow's Day, which also ushered in the new lunisolar year and the new season of Early Winter. The Winter Sleep Moon was new on the Day of the Dead. It will go dark on December 1st which is the… Continue reading The Daily: 4 November 2024
November snuck up on me. I get the feeling that many are feeling the same. Suddenly, it's winter, it's dark, it's past Hallowe'en. That time-change thing happens again today. Two in the morning. Hate it... I don't care which way it goes, much like my body doesn't care which time zone it's been transported to… Continue reading The Daily: 3 November 2024
Today is the new Winter Sleep Moon. But it's also the Day of the Dead. So I am pushing the new moon post off until Monday — which feels appropriate — and here is my post on the Day of the Dead. The Day of the Dead In Tolstoy’s Calendar of Wisdom, he says that… Continue reading The Daily: 2 November 2024
All Hallows: An Entanglement It's the most wonderful time of the year... Tomorrow is All Hallow's Eve, Hallowe'en, a new year's eve in former days with all the sweet treats, riotous good fun, and debauchery that entails. Friday is All Saints Day, All Hallows, the ancient new year festival called Samhaine, which is usually translated… Continue reading The Daily: 30 October 2024
Odds are few of you are as involved in the pagan community as I am. Though this is the fastest growing spiritual path, both in the world and in my own country, it is still a very small community. Moreover, I am in the minority in thinking that it might be good for the planet… Continue reading The Daily: 29 October 2024
Things to look forward to... going somewhere This is one that I don’t actually agree with… and that is interesting because it reveals some conflicting core values. But, no, I don’t look forward to going somewhere. Sometimes, I endure it. I never enjoy it much. And the further the travel, the less I can tolerate… Continue reading The Daily: 23 October 2024
