Autograph
I made the claim in a small group on Discord that I was a public figure. One of the women there disputed that claim. I linked her to my publicly available art. Then she asked for my autograph. Well technically she wants an autograph of markezuma. I am happy to oblige. Maybe markezuma’s “signature” will…

The Greatest Myth of the Scientific Mind
Sometimes I doubt that there are gods or a God. The best arguments for the divine are largely unfalsifiable. Did Jesus miraculously rise from the dead? I don’t care if you believe he did or not but I hope you will see that to prove it one way or the other we would have to…

The Wagon
I am going to have a few beers tonight. We went to the health food store and they carry a little bit of craft beer. I couldn’t resist. Stephanie argued that because of the THC I can’t really consider myself sober anyway. I didn’t fall off the wagon, I jumped. I joked to her that…

Magic in my Lap
Magic has been extra affectionate lately. She’ll climb into my lap and snuggle. Sometimes when things are quiet we can sit together for an hour or two. Soft, and warm, and peaceful.

Believing in Leprechauns
There are some very well meaning people that don’t believe in leprechauns. They are adamant that modern science precludes the existence of them along with fairies and vampires and dragons. Many go on to insist that since it is irrational to believe in these sorts of creatures that I should be forced to admit that…
