For the third time in five minutes, I gave him the same answer: “You’re 87, mate.” Under normal circumstances, I’d have said, “Fuck me” just loud enough for him to hear, then given him a gobful for not listening, but the gurgling rattle in his chest that hijack...

It’s 11 pm, and I’m camped out at The Oasis, one of the only bars in Soi Cowboy that is nothing more than a pub. Some live music downstairs, billiards on the second floor, and fortunately for me, another patio where I can people watch from above without anyone catching my glance. ...

My thoughts on seagulls are probably the same as yours. Loud, annoying, make you feel guilty for not feeding them at the beach, and then steal your food when you’re not looking. But for the past couple of years, a seagull couple has built its nest on the roof of the apartment building oppos...

I like to enjoy my morning coffee on my back patio where I have the benefit of fresh air and bright sunshine first thing in the morning. Over the past summer I have noticed that my coffee time has been shared by a new neighbor, a red tailed Hawk. Typically this magnificent and ever watchful creature...

Autumn is upon us and to many people that means bird migration. There is a subset of birders, hawkwatchers, who undertake migrations of their own to ridge tops, coastlines and peninsulas to witness the seasonal movements of birds of prey.

Hopefully, you’re fortunate enough never to walk into a bathroom at night and spot a roach in the sink. You think about where the bug spray is, and either you aren’t sure, or it’s too far away to expect the roach to be there still when you get back. As a last resort, you turn on th...

I’m angry watching how these slimeballs use their love of ‘White Jesus’ to hate people of color, justifying all the ugly, hateful acts. I angry because these stupid fucking morons continue to bitch about Critical Race Theory, without even knowing how to spell CRT! I’m...

When my mother died of ALS (following her mother and grandfather and preceding her sister in passing from the disease) I learned of the genetic cause of this in our family. Along with the name of a gene that seemed quite odd and unfinished (a jumble of letters and numbers) I discovered its...

When you’re by yourself, content and at peace with whatever task you’re doing at the moment, are you ever interrupted by the intrusive feeling that someone is watching you? Or, do you feel silently watched all the time? Perhaps you’re reading this and are actually very concerned by...

I have done a lot of things on my journey to grow, but the biggest change happened when I got porn use under control. I used to be addicted to porn, and the biggest reason my life is a lot better now than it was a few years ago was that I finally managed to let its grip on me loosen. I struggled wit...

I was messing about and I changed one setting that both breaks and fixes YouTube. If you delete your old history and turn off Watch History (buried in myactivity.google.com, under Data & Privacy), the algorithm just stops working. It breaks the user experience so much that the Hom...
