Addendum to The Lumpkin Diaries: Part One
8/18/14 I'm a partially outdoor cat now and must get my sleep. - F. Lumpkin (Evidently the indoor only policy had wavered somewhat at this time.)
So the Squid are Telepathic? And They Apologize to Shrimp??
TechieSquid had finished The Prayer of Profound Apology to Our Brothers, the Shrimp, made necessary by his careless mental use of the derogatory word "shrimpy". Unaddressed, such thoughtlessness could affect the sleeping minds nearby and create ripples of diplomatic...
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 /...

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...
Cat Attorney Self-Discloses: The Lumpkin Diaries Begin!
If you know The Book of Squidly Light, you may know that the Cat Fatty Lumpkin is on record as lamenting his regrettable Lack of Thumbs, and you may also know that Another Character has been privileged to read his diary. Almost no one else has seen it! However, due to...
No-Name Stupid Does Not Speak (But He Communicates!)
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...
