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!

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.

I’ve got a bose full of noogers and I’m not happy. Seriously.

Looks like cranking a wheel hard to the left will turn that off? Probably? At least if it’s not like a warp core containment failure.

Astounding vol. 24, no. 5 (January 1940)

Not familiar enough with factories/foundries/engineering plants to know if this is even science fiction, frankly. Beamy thing is sploding, good luck with that.

Sokath, his eyes uncovered.

It isn't a coincidence. Both Mar-a-Lago face and drag are about constructing very specific and exaggerated representations of femininity that subvert traditional notions of the "natural" feminine. The motivations are diametrically opposite, but the method is the same.

Spouse just asked me add toothpicks to the shopping list and that reminded me of a quick tip that could help you out of a jam one day

If you've got a wood screw that's stripped out its hole and won't tighten up anymore, you can put some wood glue on a toothpick, jam that in and trim off the end and you'll have a reinvigorated hole that the screw can bite into again

This is an old pinball repair trick that carries over into non-pinball life. One time I had a couple mates over and we were gonna watch a spooky movie, we put the kiddo to bed and as I was closing her bedroom door it just, fell off the top hinge in my hands haha

Stood there holding the door on one hinge all 🦝 honey can you go grab me a couple things lol

Didn't let it hold up our plans, just pulled the door, stuffed the holes full of toothpicks and wood glue, screwed it all back up and went on with the evening, took maybe five minutes and years later it's still holding just fine

New edition of fireflies coming soon!

This #linocut block print shows 3 fireflies (Photinus pyralis, the common eastern firefly or big dipper firefly) in a field against the night sky. These bioluminescent insects are the most common firefly in N America, & they use the light organ on their abdomen to signal potential mates leaving their tell-tale trail of a j-shaped flash pattern. Hence the common name “big dipper firefly”.
