Obey the family prophecy;
It’s natural to act this way.

Saturday of Book Reviewing – Heinlein’s Farnham’s Freehold
Awkward article heading aside, this book was all kinds of messed up. Robert A. Heinlein was from a ‘different’ time blah blah blah. His writing is straight up hard to digest; it’s hard to delve into and invest in a work so littered with racism and sexism. His female characters are flawed, often two dimensional, and his portrayal of minorities is downright insulting sometimes. These are major problems, however, the reality is, that if we got rid of and erased any and all books with these issues, I’m not sure we’d be able to read much from the past. And to be clear, the themes and ideas that Heinlein depicts in his novels are thought provoking and worth considering.
Saturdays are alllllll about the thinking and considering. Continue reading “Saturday of Book Reviewing – Heinlein’s Farnham’s Freehold”

Misplaced Missive #104 – Cage
You belong in a cage,
Trapped with the other animals.
How dare you think yourself loved?
Is there any you wouldn’t place yourself above?
We you see beneath you,
We hate you, praise those,
That locked you away. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #104 – Cage”
Saturday of Book Reviewing – Burnham’s Egghead: Or, You Can’t Survive on Ideas Alone
Written by Bo Burnham and illustrated by Chance Bone, Egghead was published in 2013. I was familiar with Burnham’s stand up, and really, that’s why I first purchased the book.
Is Arkangel a Replacement God for the Next Generation of Parents?
S 4:E02 Synopsis: ‘Worried about her daughter’s safety, single mom Marie signs up for a cutting-edge device that monitors the girl’s whereabouts – and much more.
Ostensibly, this is a story about an overprotective parent suffering the natural consequences of that parenting style taken to its logical extreme. The triggers are twofold; first comes the difficult birth and stillborn scare, second is single mom Marie losing young Sara, her shiny new munchkin, whilst at the playground. The kid is found fast, but it’s too late: the fear has taken hold and Marie believes, ardently, that she needs help. Continue reading “Is Arkangel a Replacement God for the Next Generation of Parents?”

Right. Soo this is my attempt at a Stevie-like update. Please don’t expect this to become a regular occurrence as it feels awkward as all hell to be jotting life down this way, but here goes: Continue reading “Song Share and Intention Update!”
Misplaced Missive #87 – Goodbye
life lost in a flash:
all our memories rush passed,
all the good, all the bad,
Last moment of the treasured Past,

Future lost and potential dashed. Continue reading “Misplaced Missive #87 – Goodbye”
