I’m Jimi.

I quietly contemplate these days. I enjoy reading about and infrequently discussing #SciFi, #Fantasy, #Horror, #Science, #USPolitics and #Noir. I’ve been #TentCamping over half my life.

#StarTrek🖖rocks.
I love all #Tolkien.
#MST3K is hilarious.
Michael Myers🔪the 1st shape.
#Ghibli storytelling is *gorgeous*
#Svengoolie rules!
Han shot first.

Early Gen X feral latchkey kid. Married. Mostly harmless. I block AI & jagbags.

We call them gym shoes round here.

Human	Not Immortal. Really.
Location	In far Northern Illinois. Previously Braga, Pt., Funchal, Pt., Barrie, Ontario. Far Northern Illinois before all that.
Banner Image	Fall is the season on the lakefront in Barrie, Ontario. A photographer in a yellow jacket sits under a reddish dynamic sculpture. New construction is visible in the background. Blue sky with scattered white clouds. The lake is reflecting the blue sky.
Toots	Toots disappear like tears in the rain. However it takes a while. So I got that going for me at least.

Weird Tales vol. 21, no. 6 (June 1933)

My version of Conan is the one brought to me by Marvel comics, mostly by John Buscema but incomparably by Barry Windsor-Smith.

It's always weird to remember that the stories date from the 1930s when I see something like this. Also damn, even for Brundage, this is pretty explicit.

Are you a boy or a girl?
I'm nonbinary.

Yeah, but what were you born as?
A baby.

No, I mean what is your sex?
Awesome.

FFS! Do you have a penis or a vagina??
I've had my share of both.

OMFG!! WHAT IS IN YOUR PANTS??
A frankly disturbing number of lockpicks.

Saw 'Róisín Murphy' in the opening credits for an Irish show and got really stoked thinking it was the extremely stylish musician. Turned out it's another Róisín Murphy. Booooo.

If you're not familiar with MY Róisín Murphy haha this is she. In a video for 'You Know Me Better' inspired by Cindy Sherman's photography. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEkOj7x_IXQ

There is still some good in this world 💟 🐾

Right wingers will pass the Big Ugly. But they’re manufacturing a delay so they can craft the propaganda to explain their vote.

Yet more companies laying off employees not because AI is replacing them, but because they need more money to fund their AI. I can't remember the last time I saw sunk cost fallacy at this scale.

Remember, there are no ghosts... Only #cats..

The Shooting Star Columbine (Aquilegia elegantula), also known as the Western Columbine, is another of my favorite wildflowers here in the San Juan Mountains.
