Yes. A bear did. A gentle, quiet bear, as I slept right through his walk and dump through my little forest. Solid fencing has now moved to the top of my list of must haves. I’m just getting back into the swing of making stuff since moving out here. You can hear the beginnings of…

New song demo. Spilled out today. I will likely tinker with it later, or I may abandon it. It’s possible I was just shaking cobwebs loose. This song was written on my banjo with only 3 strings at the moment (trying to win the authenticity race, here). So it also may change when I get…

I’ve been struggling to write. There has just been too much. I made a lot of long term plans, have made a lot of promises of what’s to come. And then, when I got the land, I started posting sporadically, randomly. Which is not very out of character, but I know you probably want more.…

We used to call the centralization of power and money communism. We used to call a competitive market capitalism. I do not understand this incessant need to call what is happening to us “late stage capitalism.” Quite frankly, I suspect this language is mimicking Russian trolls who want you confused, and to associate our economy…

One is against critical thinking. The other is against a corrupted system that enables fascism. Look, there isn’t really a word for “Anti-University Aristocracy,” and that hastily put together moniker does not come trippingly off the tongue.

I keep pulling Ten of Wands, and it’s no wonder: This is going to be a lot of work. With sticks. Rods. Wands. Specifically. My neighbor Mike is quietly burning inside to burn my wood as quickly as possible. But he reads very patient. Considering he came over at 10am to say, “I brought my…

I can’t believe I went from being in such despair to…this. I can’t lie, this whole week has had a strange and mystical quality. Even with its ups and downs and false starts, everything seemed to work out in such a way that felt like destiny. When the shed was delayed, I had to stay…

Just as a quick update: As is almost always the case, things are taking longer than expected:) The shed was delayed in being built, but my moving buddy Dean and I roughed it in the tent the first night. Not gonna lie, it was scary, but Dean, who was a great Craigslist find, was the…

This one is short, and it’s mostly just to procrastinate because I got several extra days to move, against my will, and still have things to put in boxes over the next hour, before the moving guy comes. You’ll likely get another blog with pictures later, if I have internet. The shed is supposed to…

And his horrifying, pedophilic, mindfucking empire must be destroyed. Because he is sexually abusing children with his AI chatbots. And there is no other way to look at it. This is vile fucked up grooming shit.
