Aging, pensive schlub; dyspeptic alter kacker (Yiddish; do a search); crackpot
Upper Manhattanite.
Atheist, which is to say:
not a universalist,
not an essentialist,
doing my best to make my way through a dancing, rugged landscape.
After numerous exchanges in the Fediverse I suppose I should explicitly state that I tend toward radical solutions to the problems we collectively face.
Together, we MAKE meaning. We don't uncover it

People, I give you:
The black squirrel of the day. I swear I think I heard it, over the sound of the wind, ask me for a buck for a cup of coffee.

I believe I may have taken the photo that will define my career as a mediocre amateur cellphone photographer--

it rained most of the day, yesterday, in Inwood. As I post this photo I'm pretty sure I can detect the last lingering traces of a skunk.
Good morning from Upper Manhattan!

My brother-in-law, who lives in Florida, has sent us a picture that aptly expresses the mood of a good portion of the American electorate ..

Trying to find a newsstand that sold New York Magazine (something I haven't done in years) was a sobering experience wrt the state of print publications. Nevertheless, I attach photographic evidence that my wife does, indeed, appear in the 11/7 issue.Absolutely NO points will be awarded to the first person who guesses which is she.

Hey, #twittermigration, a little challenge to help you learn about the Fediverse:

Here's my Mastodon profile.
a) Can you bring it up in your browser/app?
b) Can you use the information you find there as a means to discover and #TellMeMyRealName ?

I am now regarding this as the first of my collective, interactive #SeizeTheMeansOfCommunity exercises.

Try it! You might learn some things about the Fediverse you've joined, the relationships of its members, and its place in the larger Web.
