I call people like this "edge-walkers". Not because I am one or such ;-) "Free falling..." Now I've got an earworm too! :P

I agree with both your tweets with a chuckle on the age-related quip ;-)

My husband went to Vietnam and came home broken and sick and died an agonizing death over the period of his full post-war life. He was younger than the man with bone spurs who signed it. I keep it in a drawer but he'd have burnt it. #MemorialDay #IMissYouRay #SemperFi #Courage 🇺🇸

If US security politics right now were in a spy action movie, the "fearful" intel agencies would have long ago wiped the slate clean for the safety of the world.

Me? My grandfather Maurice Krotenberg was a NYC alderman who fought the hell out of Fred Christ Trump and along with other D's forced Trumps to allow blacks into Queens in 40s. Mom had a ty letter to her dad from La Guardia, and Fred would yell "Bring me the Jew" It's personal.

You can't tell? My snark must be having an off day! 45 is not a human anyway.

This genius insanity thing often makes for unusual looking people, or they get seriously ill, live tragic lives, have mental issues, traumas and fall into despair, a lot of drugs (hi Keith Richards LOL) and yet shine like glass in the sun. 🏜️ I'll take an unstable genius any day!

As mentioned, it's my favorite love song of all time for those reasons. Most of his lyrics are not depressing, but there are shadows throughout. Glad you enjoy him so.
An incredible soul, and a beautiful songwriter. I still can't do some of his tunings and play LOL! Glad someone values him nowadays. :D
Nick Drake bio. Sad and beautiful. How did he do what he did with such depression and sorrow before he suicided at 26. I think he was the first indie-folk player. Think Iron & Wine, etc. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_D…

Nick Drake playlist for all the unstable geniuses. No videos alas, it was the 60's. His song Pink Moon was used in a VW commercial but otherwise he's much cited for his tunings but mostly unheard. youtube.com/watch?v=9aCxv9Cu… Northern Sky is my fave love song of all time. Enjoy xo/m

My front yard in Las Vegas right by the strip. There's a couple asleep under junk and Swanman, a regular. They just move around to preferred spots :(

Here's one. A non-relative relative lived in Las Vegas for 30 years and never saw these. I told him it was because he didn't want to.

Phoenix is paradise compared to the issues in the non strip Vegas. I think I have a pic, I'll look. Certain groceries and stores give an outdoor area where they bring their carts and tents and wait out the storm. People pass out on the sidewalks in summer. Tunnel city below too.

I've totally gone small. Tiny is too hard I think, but small, modest and nice is all I need.

Recently I bitched about voice input tech. Here's an opportunity to help #Mozilla work on that, in a variety of languages. Go, do! voice.mozilla.org/
Mayor Pete on #Disability #DraftDodgers #Accessibility #a11y I love what he says here as Memorial Day is upon us. Character matters. I will go visit my husband's grave which is close to me now. Bone spurs? Ray died from Agent Orange exposure took 51 years. youtube.com/1L3rrmFvtbI
