So Glad “Black” is Back!
This is written from Minneapolis, city of George Floyd's murder, where I live. It's the site of a shameful, inexcusable crime by men who were sworn to protect, and it wasn't our first unjustified police killing of a Black person by any means. But it's also a...
Let’s Talk Ertugrul
Greetings, Beys and Hatuns! Recently I've been fighting off the desire to post a giant, colored block on Facebook saying, "My Turgut! My Turgut!" just to see who else is watching. FYI, this character's name is pronounced, "TOUR-gute," and you roll your R a little to...
Data Dump: The Sociology of Talking about Yourself
Image by splongo from PixabayOkay, I don't much like sharing personal things, but sometimes you must in order to make a point. So, when I was married to my second husband . . . oh, dear, I must digress again with a hot tip for you: If you're an Aquarius / Aries /...
Politics, Religion, and . . . Football? One day at the bank

No-Name Stupid Does Not Speak
I'm not going to say anything. As you should probably know at your age, horses don't talk. (Not meaning to seem condescending . . .) Now if you were an eight-foot-tall sparkling alien Squid with really nice manners, it would be different, because they can talk and...
A Super Villain Speaks
I am a person of extraordinary abilities, and I have always known this. No ordinary mind could have seen, even as a child, through the delusionally sentimental fog of optimism, romance, love of family, devotion to 'god', self-help, artistic ideals and other such...
Literary Lion Sinks to Unspeakable Depths!
"Basel Vasselschnauzer, literary critic extraordinaire, had become a floor sitter!" Now, we don't usually share quotes from The Chronicles of Halycon Sage, but someone recently inquired how Basel Vasselschnauzer, surely the most dignified man on the planet, had come...
Alien Time Travel Scandal Spins Out of Control!
As a young alien Squid remarked recently, there's always more to say about any topic. Anything at all can be explored into infinite depth. Everything is a hologram, containing copies and images of itself down to and beyond the microscopic level so that, with the...
