It's all stuff that's been here on Medium but the organization is a little different. Please, check it out.

Right now I am focused on Climate Change. I wrote a LONG piece on my birthday (04/21) about the history of Texas Independence and how it ties to my childhood this week. But I have to rework it.

I realized I could be charged for "child pornography" by accurately describing the abuse my father inflicted upon me. It struck me that the ONLY places I can ever relate that experience are in a courtroom or to a therapist.

It feels odd. Am I supposed to be ashamed? Are some things so heinous that they just "cannot be discussed" EVER?

Anyway, it stalled me out on "personal" stuff for the moment.

So I did a video with Max again this afternoon.

PS: The cats are a 19 year old Siamese/tabby mix, a 15 year old Brindle, and "the baby" a 14 year old White and Orange Merida street kitten that I fished out of a trash can.
