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. #CozyGroveCampSpirit
#StarTrek🖖rocks.
I love all #Tolkien.
#MST3K is hilarious.
Michael Myers🔪the 1st shape.
#Ghibli storytelling is *gorgeous*

| 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. |

Happy cows via dragonflies. 😃
Dragonflies are used to control flies irritating cows. No chemicals, just provided habitat for the dragonflies.
Smart. Simple. Natural.

A rip in the space/time continuum unzipped itself in the kitchen this afternoon. A voice from within shouted a short, brooding, dark fantasy story. Luckily, Jessamine had a pen ready and took it down word-for-word.
We sent a contract through, and it zipped back up. We hope to hear from them again soon!

Amazing Stories vol. 28, no. 2 (May 1954)
Love the image, love the lighting, real Magic Hour stuff. I really like that the robot apparently has no idea it's been found, it's still going about its business.
Maybe the robot is like those Japanese guys who kept on fighting WWII until 1975 because nobody told them it was over.

“We are at somewhat of an inflection point as to consumer inflation. On the one hand, the post-pandemic inflationary effects continue to fade. But on the other, we are waiting for the effects of Tariff-palooza!
In June the waning post-pandemic effects continued to dominate, as the only items still rising at a rate in excess of 4% were Owners’ Equivalent Rent, gas and electric utility services, and motor vehicle…”

“What has made Baltimore — which President Trump and other conservatives deride as a “filthy” Democrat-controlled “slum” — so successful in making its streets safer?
Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D), who was first elected in 2020, has brought the city’s homicide rate down by treating violent crime as a public health crisis. That means treating violent crime as a symptom of multiple factors, including racism, poverty, and past violence.”

As one who has studied #AncientGreek, I'm all for using the plural "you"! (And Greek, as well as many other languages, also had gender-neutral nouns).
Y'all, we need to talk about 'y'all'
July 16, 2025
Excerpt: "In the north of the British Isles, people sometimes combined ye, a second person plural pronoun for you, along with aw, meaning all. An example found in a letter dating from the 1700s suggests that Scots-Irish immigrants brought their version of y'all to Appalachia and the South. Around that same time, enslaved people who were being taken to the South from #WestAfrica brought their own unique term that literally translates to 'you all,' Reed says.
" 'As like a huge nerd,' Wright says, 'I love that both of these things can be true, that it can be from Black people and Scots-Irish settlers all at the same time.' "
This butterfly is not very common in our area, so I was lucky enough to spot it for the first time today:
The Milbert's Tortoiseshell (Aglais milberti) butterfly
Any other Cozy Grove Camp Spirit players out there? It sure would be great to be able to give gifts to other players instead of an NPC.
My name is also my gamer tag.
Hit me up?
*re-toots welcome for exposure, thankya.
Once more, for the people in the back:
An "epic hero" (*cough* Odysseus *cough*) is not an "epic hero" because they are a role model that does everything right. They were never meant to be an unproblematic fandom icon.
People bending themselves into pretzels to prove Odysseus (and others) never did anything wrong, questionable, or "problematic" are doing a disservice and flattening mythology into fan fiction.
Said what I said.

Weirdly have the same as my friend - a Moke and a Mini Clubman.
A Smart Fortwo! I hadn't seen one in ages then saw a red one recently and now this one.
Not sure what the hustle is but I hope it gets them something younger than a worn out Commodore
All Toranas should be painted in In Your Face colours
This Buick RIviera was a piece of art. Check out the engraved bumpers.
The only time I've come across an Ariel Atom with registration plates they've all been NSW ones. I wonder if you can even register them in my state.

Save on gas by pulling it back really far to wind up the spring before you get in.
