Intersectionality – You’re probably using it wrong
I recently asked folks who follow me on Facebook (yes, I’m an old – I know lots of people and participate in lots of social groups that are only on Facebook and yes it’s a problem) and Mastodon what “intersectional” and “intersectionality” mean to them. Of the respondents, most were familiar with only the popular…

Visiting Baltimore
This post is through the lens of leaving a relationship that was ending particularly badly in 2012 and only coming back once for a very short visit, a few days, in the intervening time. It’s also for an adventurous foodie friend of mine so there’ll be some content meant loosely for him. But I wanted…

On Saturday during our weekly Cocktail Zoom Hour, I got to talking with Mom about various artists from my youth that I thought she might enjoy or at least find interesting?

“Advanced” Home Automations with HomeKit, Eve’s HomeKit app, and Homebridge
From time to time as I’m writing something for another use (I spend an inordinate amount of time updating house planning and house maintenance documents, moreso now that I’ve got a significant investment in “smart” home technologies in the house), I figure “Hey, maybe this’ll be useful for someone else to see!”, so I copy/paste…

The KLF
While I was growing up, I only really had access to radio and to my parents’ LP collection (yeah, I know, old). So my primary go-tos were, embarrassingly (or, SUPER COOL! depending on who I’m talking to): Robert Preston’s Chicken Fat Youth Fitness workout song The Story of Star Wars Album Kate Bush’s The Kick…
