Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox... Knowledge is power!

Climate Lockdowns Have Begun!

Well folks, I really hate to say this, but it’s another win for the conspiracy theorists. They can take off their tinfoil hats and take a deep bow. Yet another one of their outrageous “predictions” is coming true. For anyone keeping score, sadly the score card is rather one-sided.

In Defence of Mina Harker the OG Evelyn O'Connell & Matriarch of the Dracula Hunters Fellowship

In the story of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, there is no character held up in as much reverence as Mina Harker. None who shine quite so brilliantly, and none who devote themselves so utterly and completely to the cause of destroying Dracula as Mina (none save Jonathan).

How To Simultaneously Be On The Internet And Read All The Books And Achieve Great Success And Wealth By Telling People How To Live

I am feeling kind of f***ing cheated right now, and I wonder if others in my position are feeling the same. When I started regularly reading books, at the end of my misspent teens, it was my understanding that I would from that point on have instant recall of the details from every one that I read: character names, ideas, memorable phrases, plot, at my …

Ladybird's Well-Loved Tales Deconstructed

One of the many ways that the internet is cruel and annoying in a “pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining” way is that, at the very same time as ruining people’s attention spans and preventing them from concentrating properly on books, it is constantly reminding us that we are not reading enough and showing us what a vast amount of reading …

Once Upon A Time On A Lane

POTENTIALLY USEFUL ASIDE: You can listen to me reading it here if you are busy operating heavy machinery or just can’t be arsed to read it yourself… Once upon a time on a lane I walked, with Julie, away from the wreckage of the music festival we’d been attending, leaving behind sloping fields full of empty bottles and crisp packets and sanitary towels an…

ViroLIEgy 101: Koch's Postulates

I am starting a series of posts under the heading ViroLIEgy 101 in order to provide relatively short (by my standards) and concise explanations of key concepts regarding both germ “theory” and virology. I'm providing an overview on topics that are essential to the conversation that people may be confused with and have difficulty understanding, or areas that seem to be controversial when engaging in discussions with those defending the germ “theory” of disease…

Reflections: Let Go With the Setting Sun

As the sun sets on the horizon it is always a good time to contemplate the day. Each evening I like to try to affirm the good aspects of the day with gratitude and release the bad aspects of the day with the setting sun. Each day we go through situations that are good, bad or indifferent…

Reflections: On Injurious Falls

Greetings Readers, Today’s post is a personal essay from 2012 about the spill I took in my driveway in January 2012, that landed me in a hard cast—then soft cast for about 11 weeks all together. I posted another personal essay about this injury and recovery earlier this month…

Zen and the Art of Retirement

Carafe Art by Moi and Visionary Edgar Ende

More early art by me. I like putting these up, it lets me see how far I’ve come since I started. Now, if I could just crawl out of these doldrums and hit the easel again! One of my fellow retiree painters said she finished 36 paintings in 2023. Geez, I need to put the pedal to the medal, it’s almost February…

Painting Figments and Fairytales

I've got two for you today, and a bonus. First, the figment and fairy tale, two paintings that I completed in 2020. One is on my wall, and the other on the wall of a friend. Maybe. (I mean, you can give a hostess gift, but you can't control where it ends up! Hopefully, where someone will see it. Like in the living room! Or maybe the bathroom. Hmm. Bette…

Sending much appreciation for including me again one your reads! I’m a little under the weather this weekend so I don’t know how much reading I can do until later. I just read one of Christine Massey’s article. I’m so happy to know much is being expose and I am always shocked when I run into someone continuing the old COVID-19 narrative from 2000. I ran into one of these people the other day here on Substack. As graciously as I handled her she was not interested in learning anything beyond what she was taught by Dr. Fauci 🤥
