Meta: “Add to Any” 0
I realized that, somewhere along the line as I migrated from here to there to my current VPS, I had lost the “Add to Any” plugin. It creates the “Share/Save” button at the bottom left of this post and makes sharing my posts to “social” media easier for the socialites among you, so I reinstalled it today.
It’s my kind of WordPress plugin: It’s simple, it’s neat, and it stays out of the way.
I used to publish my posts on my Facebook page via Facebook’s “Networked Blogs” feature, but that seems to have stopped functioning several years ago. I briefly considered finding a way to resume that practice, but decided it wasn’t worth having the Zuckerborg drop its tracking cookies all over my browser cache (the alternative would be to do all my posting from a “private” window, and I’m just too lazy . . . .).
This is, as I have said, an avocation, not a business.
I welcome and am grateful for all visitors and am most pleased that some folks find my work worth a visit.
I want to reach as many persons as I can, but there are some lines I shall not cross, and running nekkid through the Zuckerborg is one of them.
Twits on Twitter 0
A Kavanaugh of Twits. (A Kavanaugh equals roughly two Thomases.)
Facebook Frolics 0
Yet more racist frolics.
I majored in history (U. S. Southern, but my college did not recognize concentrations). I unlearned these myths a long time ago. I should be taken aback that persons still believe them, but I’m not.
I learned a long time ago that racism trumps (accurate verb, that) truth.

“God as a License To Discriminate” 0
David and his guest discuss the history and meaning of “freedom of religion” in the context of U. S. history.
Beetle 0
This was struggling to get off its back and on its feet on the deck yesterday. I think it’s either a long-horn beetle (that’s lost one of its horns) or a red oak borer.
