In my youth I was a far left, antiwar "turn on, tune in, drop out" hippie (#woodstock69). Now I'm an old hippie who no longer turns on or drop outs but still antiwar and pro whatever loving lifestyle anyone chooses.

I'm cis married for 45 years with a lifelong vegetarian son and wonderful granddaughter.

We live on a 118 acre farm in the hills of the NY Finger Lakes region where we grow tree nuts and fruit.

System Collapse, by Martha Wells. You are a sentient construct that can pass as human, but you really don’t like humans much (other than their TV shows) but nonetheless endeavor to keep them from dying at each other’s hands in the f***ed up world they created. 4 of 5 library cats 🐈 🐈 🐈 🐈. (Series)

1984, by George Orwell

I had never read this before. And that was a hole in my reading, given I'm in my 6th decade.

1984 is one of those books everyone should read. Yes, it's heavy-handed. No, it's not spectacular writing. Yes, we all need to be aware of giving up too much power to our government. But there are other things too.

Orwell's discussions of the proles clearly speak to not leaving them with no safety net. (Winston's youth,

I've read 4 or 5 times since the 1960s and each time it gets better. I think this is due to forgetting details and reading them as new and thereby seeing them differently. Hopefully I'll read it a few more times before I can't anymore.
