I’m a big reader of historical fiction and i decided that in 2026 I’m going to focus on reading about stories of people not like me. So far, I’ve read about generations of a Hawaiian family told through their gift of Hula. A based on reality story of a Japanese family interred at Manzanar and an amazing book written by two sisters about…

Arrived at Miss Eveline’s, and we’re starting off strong.

Me: You’re looking great, Mom.

Miss Eveline: I’m 136lbs.

Me: Really? You look like you’re 125 lbs.

Miss Eveline: Gotta keep everything firm ’cause I’m trying to find a boyfriend. I don’t wanna take off my clothes, and he then goes “Ooooo…” in disappointment.

Make America Great “Again”. Some small items to remind folks why many of us aren’t in a hurry to get back to the “good ole days” (whenever those were).

From August 30, 2014

I helped set up a vintage beauty museum/collection today. Had my hands on everything from face powder and compacts from the 1920’s to makeup used by Max Factor on set.

Sir Richard Evans wrote three books on the Nazis, and I’ve read all three multiple times. If you want to understand what the Trump administration is doing, this is the first book to do so. It goes over the Nazi’s attacks on German colleges and universities, immigrants, and banning books.

Also, before the SS was the SA, which resembles ICE,…

The Gilded Age shows the importance of Black folks behind the camera. It’s the first period drama that has done a Black storyline right. It shows the world of colorism, class, and wealth within the Black community during the post-Civil War era, and does it seamlessly as it examines the same within the white Robber Baron class.

Let me let you in on how this US vs. Iran TV series is gonna go. Iran is gonna hit us with a terrorist attack, and who is Trump gonna blame? Biden…for having ‘open borders.’ Just don’t want you to be surprised. I hope Biden walks up to the mic and says: “Fuck you.”
