Celtic triads and politics
One if the funniest things about “The Celtic Triads of Ireland” is that they aren’t all triads. Most triads are: There are three things that ruin wisdom: ignorance, inaccurate knowledge, forgetfulness. But like I said, some “triads” have four: The … Continue reading
Relief Postponed.
Today was the day Kisa was supposed to have surgery, with the singular vascular surgeon in this area of the country that will do it. But that got canceled two weeks ago. Turns out, you cant recover in the ICU … Continue reading

I know a good thing when I see it.
I am certain that I am under qualified to speak about enduring racism. But I am well qualified to talk about white privilege. Unfortunately, it has already been done, and probably better, by other more professional writers. Like this one.https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/things-white-people-say-highlight-privilege-020757491.html … Continue reading
I didn’t write this, but I live it.
Why I’ve been a proud nerd all my life and love all of this… I did not write this but whoever did took the words right out of my brain. X-Men is about civil rights. If you didn’t get that, … Continue reading
