Kitties!

Every time you post pics of them, I miss having cats. Maybe this time next year, we'll be in our own house and we can get one...

the cat playhouse!

I love the against-the-wall cat play 'house' (shed? area? jungle gym?)!!!

I love the cats and their little faces! How is the baby tree doing? I don't remember the name, but you saved him from a parking lot.

Cancel culture

[(Anonymous)]

One of the oddities of the last few years has been the rise of the term cancel culture and its being treated as something new. I say oddity because when I look back at some of the translations I have done over the past decade, I find that a number of them had cancel culture as a major theme. The thing is that these were translations of novels written in Imperial Germany between about 1895 and 1914. One of the more amusing ones to me was a novel which anticipated Fukuyama's end of history thesis with a main character who is a professor who gets cancelled for writing a book arguing that democracy was the new religion and would do what Christianity had failed to do in ending all wars (Georg Engel's The Standard Bearer). Another covering the period around 1848 and afterwards indicates that the equivalent slur to 'Nazi' back then was 'Social Democrat' (yes, really).

A non-fiction work I've been translating (from around 1919) also discussed the intolerance of the period of the Protestant Reformation and the Counter Reformation. It all makes me wonder if there ever was a time when cancel culture didn't have a major place in society (of course, your position in society may affect your exposure to it, and so is my increased awareness of it just a reflection of where I stand?).

Well, I saw my second ever full-body apparition tonight...

He was walking through my kitchen and I thought it was my husband, so I started talking to him about the cat. He disappeared. What's odd is I wasn't even slightly afraid. Just another day in the life of an occultist!

What do you make of this bizzare action by Pelosi?
Especially since Biden is talking about
the dangerous burn pits..

Hey Kimberly -

I've been seeing on the Ecosophia sites your posts about your Speakeasy group. I'm wondering if you have anything going on with alternative venues for music, theatre, and other arts? I'm a pianist in the Seattle area (for now), and I've lost 2/3 of my income due to being unwilling to go along with the medical restrictions, so I'm looking for ideas on how to get something going under the radar or places to move to where I don't have to worry about restrictions.
