"FIGHT BACK, TAKE THE STAND!"

I would love to see a group of people chanting that as Trump enters and leaves the courthouse.

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday - Carole King/Gerry Goffin

"The local rock group down the street
Is trying hard to learn this song
They serenade the weekend squire
Who just came out to mow his lawn

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
Charcoal burning everywhere
Rows of houses that are all the same
And no one seems to care

See Mrs. Gray she's proud today
Because her roses are in bloom
And Mr. Green he's so serene
He's got a TV in every room

Another Pleasant Valley Sunday (Sunday)
Here in status symbol land
Mothers complain about how hard life is
And the kids just don't understand

Creature comfort goals
They only numb my soul
And make it hard for me to see
My thoughts all seem to stray
To places far away
I need a change of scenery"
Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

Shogun Poems

"if I could use words
like scattering flowers and falling leaves
what a bonfire my poems would make"

May is National Masturbation Month!

https://sfstandard.com/2023/05/08/national-masturbation-month-a-quickie-history-of-this-sf-born-holiday/

National Masturbation Month, a 31-day celebration of self-love, is well known in certain circles, thanks to the likes of nationally syndicated columnist and host of the Savage Love podcast, Dan Savage, and to promotions by sex toy companies. But did you know that the monthlong ode to solo sex was actually born in San Francisco?

Recently, the longtime sex educator, author and pleasure activist Carol Queen—who is the staff sexologist at SF sex shop Good Vibrations, director and co-founder of the evolving Center for Sex and Culture, and who literally holds a Ph.D. in the art and science of lovemaking—kindly reminded us that the celebratory season of pleasing one’s self has its roots in the same city that birthed the Summer of Love.

Work to live, don't live to work

I'm looking to retire this year at the age of 63. I don't understand people who say, "I don't know what I'd do with myself if I retired". Unless you love what your do for work. IMHO
