Instead of No-Kings, I tend to think of the protests as No Fascist Dictators. A king could have a friendly fairy-tale connotation. Fascist Dictators leaves no room for that illusion.

I am still in search of sociable mastodons. I do hope they are not extinct.

I got a book with Norwegian sentences and opened it at random. The sentence was "Jeg er en heks," which means: "I am a witch." Maybe there is something to bibliomancy...

It's hard to maintain that balance of knowing what is going on in the world and being able to sleep at night.

Hello to anyone from FB looking for me. I'm going to try to be here more often just in case FB kicks me off.

Hi, Fossil Cat! It's me!

Today is a black-out on Facebook and Amazon. Can we get this old Mastodon jump started already? Come on. I know there has to be some other like-minded folks who want to be friends.

Mastodon fun fact: Their name means "breast teeth," Yeah, you read that right. Mastodons had blunt, cone-shaped molars that would crush vegetation. Naturalist Georges Cuvier named them "mastodon" because of their breast-like tooth protrusions. Bet that gives y'all an interesting mental picture.
