Here be dragons.
I was peeling carrots and I asked my nephew to get me a kettle to put them into. He said it was a pot. I didn’t really care what he wanted to call it. Just get it so I can make dinner. I was visiting at his house, his Mother’s house. But he went on about it, correcting me.… Read the rest
What is a science denier?
These days it is anyone who does not agree with the general media about the covid vaxxination. However you want to debate all of that… the label of science denier is pure propaganda.

So I have to rely on these random applications to About.com for my rejection slips.… Read the rest
We used to make zines with typed and photocopied pages. Those were the old days, before desktop publishing, computers and the whole concept of publishing on the Internet. Now, people are creating email newsletters to promote their online services and businesses.
