Lew Zealand is fairly obscure, but his act using “boomerang fish” has long been a favorite

The Sexual History of London by Catharine Arnold has great stuff, but this about the “twatling strings” really stood out for me

She will learn that her task is to hold the pot for her client to urinate into, in the belief that this served as a protection against gonorrhoea or 'the clap'. She will then use the other one, as graphically described by one ex-whore, urinating till I made it whurra and roar like the Tyde at London Bridge to endangering the breaking of my very Twatling-strings with straining back wards for I know no better way or remedy more safe than pissing presently to prevent the French Pox, Gonnorhea, the perilous infirmity of Burning or getting with Childe which is the approved Maxim amongst Venetian Curtizans'. 13
Pressed into service in this trugging-house, Kate learns that everyday life mirrors the hierarchy of a more conventional middle-class household. At the head of the house is the madam, or pandarelle', who supervises the 'apple squires, or male employees, whilst the whores are at the bottom of the food chain, even referring to their own genitals as 'the commodity', as this is what they are rading.14

Good natural afternoon lighting in the bathroom demands a pensive selfie

Me, a gay male of a certain age with disheveled hair and patchy facial hair growth looking into the camera. The light shining on the greyish/ light blueish wall makes it look green. I am trying to be expressionless but my expression seems to be one of gassiness

Finished Red Side Story and now going to finish this which includes the story of the Cleveland Street house, a great homosexual scandal

The cover for The Sexual History of London From Roman Londinium to the Swinging City - Lust, Vice, and Desire Across the Ages by Catharine Arnold . It sure an illustration from a Hogarth painting “A Rake’s Progress III: The Rake at the Rose Tavern”

Eleven years ago, I got to cover the NHL draft for @puckbuddys.bsky.social and I was so professional, I didn’t even harass Pierre McQuire

My credentials for the 2015 NHL Draft with PuckBuddys.com as my outlet. It says “Media” and also has a fork and knife symbol in the upper right meaning I got a meal!

The view from my spot in the media zone in the Panthers’ arena for the NHL draft. There is a lot of activity on the floor but pretty much no one in the stands

I’m only 100 pages in but it’s quite good

The cover of Benjamin Britten A Life for Music by Neil Powell. It has a large black and white picture of Britten in a tweed suit which looks rumpled with a striped tie. He is looking over his shoulder at something with a worried expression

Five years ago, this wee kitty came to live with us and has since turned into a Sherman tank

Not only did we win Patron’s Pick and the award for most tickets sold for the Festival, but our closing performance we had our state Representative (and next mayor of Orlando - willing that into existence now) Anna Eskamani make a cameo appearance. She got the loudest ovation at bows #HeatedRibaldry

Anna Eskamani on the left in a brown tee and a pink apron with me in the right in my “Heated Ribaldry” short sleeve jersey that is white with blue lettering and pink and blue stripes. Behind us is the set for a children’s show that has a fake proscenium . In the scrim in the back, you can see the projection for the “Smoothie Hole”

This pic was taken yesterday before we found out we were awarded Patron’s Pick for most tickets sold in our venue. Imagine those smiles being a hundred times bigger than this and you can begin to understand our joy #OrlandoFringe2026 #OperaDelSol #HeatedRibaldry

Welp, I guess I’ll just die here when my bladder erupts rather than get up and disturb them #Caturday

My view in bed: I’m trapped like a mummy in a blue gray comforter with a tuxedo cat laying with his belly on my left side, and a flame point Siamese laying with his back to my right side

I’ve never thought about the how and why of fridge magnets becoming so ubiquitous, but I’ve done my part for the economy by purchasing them
