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!

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

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.

Another thing that I think we are LONG overdue at doing is politicizing PTAs. This just gave us the opportunity to do teach-ins at PTAs about what SCOTUS just stole from parents.

Like complete histories of everything *ever* submitted electronically.

I cut this image out of a sale catalogue years ago. Never been able to find its source since (and I have tried a lot!).

If you know where it is from, I'd be thrilled to find out.

Beer brewing from planting all the way to over drinking the product then being laughed at?

Which doesn’t help sourcing it, sorry.

Earth Star mushrooms are wonderful, looking like flowers with petals. This was the best I've seen this year.

Pd. Earth Star is a great name 😎

It's not garnering much attention, but the pace that California is displacing fossil fuels from their electricity grid using batteries is terrific to see.

I daresay "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind)" is his ultimate best. I bought the single when it first came out.
