love how privileged many are about diet: "the only decent healthful diet is one that Harvard Medicine and PCRM recognize; traditional diets for heritage are bunk; choose hydrogenated fats over fats your great grandparents ingested, and concentrated industrial sweeteners over turbinado and honey."
If they were me and saw all the nonsmokers drop dead before 60, they'd learn diet cannot beat faulty genes and would stop proselytizing.
from globalnews.ca: "the Proud Boys began as an organization protesting political correctness and perceived constraints on masculinity in the United States and Canada, and grew into a group that embraced street fighting."
I know many males who do not enjoy nor partake in street fighting. Is that lack of enjoyment a cramping constraint on masculinity in the United States and Canada?
I have also never seen men cold-cock each other in friendly greeting in mixed company. I have lived in both the USA and in Canada. Are they excessively politically correct?
It's completely okay to answer my #gemini #FiveQuestions via #gopher or reply on #mastodon
here they are for those not of the May 21 - June 20 or constellation persuasion:
1. What's on your bedside table?
2. Five items you "can't" live without.
3. What are some words or phrases specific to where you live?
4. What are your healthiest habits?
5. What are the rewarding aspects of your job? (if you have a job quashing your will to live, I provide a bonus sixth question for you)
Bonus: what would it take for you and for me to be either better acquainted or more in contact?

#introduction #introductions Hi, how are you?
I'm a #musician & occasional #writer. A #freesoftware, #privacy, civil & digital rights advocate, #anticapitalist, pro-#feminist.
I make #ambient, #psychedelic, #electronic & generally #weird #music. I used to collaborate with musicians such as Daevid Allen & Gilli Smyth of Gong & writers such as Michael Moorcock. Interesting times. Nowadays I'm a semi-hermit living with my partner & son in an old farmhouse next to a world-heritage rainforest.
#introductions were better when they had #searchable #keywords

"Everything is Going to Be Alright" by Derek Mahon
How should I not be glad to contemplate
the clouds clearing beyond the dormer window
and a high tide reflected on the ceiling?
There will be dying, there will be dying,
but there is no need to go into that.
The poems flow from the hand unbidden
and the hidden source is the watchful heart.
The sun rises in spite of everything
and the far cities are beautiful and bright.
I lie here in a riot of sunlight
watching the day break and the clouds flying.
Everything is going to be all right.
