I was seeing green yesterday morning...and then by evening I was seeing white. This post will try to bring greenness to all those who are still seeing white:

Books
A golem story for adults. Warning: it'll be more intense than the golem story for kids this web site recently reviewed, which was pretty emotional.
To my surprise, it's not published by Raconteur, a new, apparently digitally based, press with a mission of reviving the tradition of entertaining books written for men by men--clean adventure stories and comedy and so on. I don't expect to write for Raconteur myself, unless they open a women's division for realistic romances and historical novels, but I do follow their Substack. So many other publishers are still intentionally discouraging White men who aren't willing to write about sexual kinks, I think male writers should be aware that there's still a publisher just for them.
Food
Shared by Neithan Hador. Lens says the "Veggiewise Floats" vegetable tray was designed by Jennifer Guerrero, who once, in the past, had a blog post explaining exactly how to assemble a mosaic of vegetables that resembles Pennywise the Clown in Stephen King's It. Oh well you can figure it out. What I find so creatively horrible about Veggiewise is that he's made of all of people's least favorite vegetables--little hot peppers, fading cauliflower, olives, yellow squash; not a tangy tomato or crunchy bell pepper anywhere. At that party he was never nibbled down into harmlessness. He kept floating on the table, reminding people of a movie that was designed to put them off their feed for a week. A person who took this tray to a party would never be asked to bring a veggie tray again...the question is whether the person would be asked to attend a party again.
Sexuality and Mental Illness
Y'know, although the point being illustrated here is about men who claim to be making or have made a "transition into womanhood," these three sorry excuses for humans are so similar to a certain type of men who want to make sure that the first and last thing everyone notices about them is their being heterosexual males. (I have C-cups, so I would know.) Having babies, or not having babies, really is an important choice to make, though one that normal people discuss only with their mates. Other than that, thinking that the state of your parts and hormones is the most important thing about you, or the most interesting thing, or of any interest at all to most of humankind, seems to be a symptom of fairly well advanced psychotic conditions.
Spring Break
Forty years ago I observed that, although Florida is a traditional destination for spring break and the beaches are packed with attractive people from other colleges, something--maybe it's only the crowding, maybe it's also the mosquito spray, likely both--makes those people show the worst sides of themselves to anyone on whom they are not actively hitting. The situation does not seem to have improved.
Some of the problem came from Black students, specifically. Stirring up bitterness and stereotypes and another occasion for me to observe that, in fact, at least one woman who was famous primarily for her beauty came from south of the Sahara Desert. P.J. O'Rourke went to a town in Somalia with some Army guys and reported that the streets were full of people who looked like models. A web search for "Somali-American woman" will show what he meant...I personally would not hire author Ayaan Hirsi Ali as a model. Most of the others whose photos have been published online, I would. Including US Representative Ilhan Omar, who I don't think is working out very well in Congress, but who does have a cute baby face. Not to mention supermodel Iman Bowie.
Anyway, if I wanted to go to Florida, I would avoid doing so during spring break. Usually the homicides are blamed on drunk driving, drunk sailing, and/or other recreational drugs rather than shooting, and get less attention in the commercial media because the People of the Burro aren't hoping to use them for yet another doomed, counterfactual attack on the Second Amendment. Spring break in Florida has always been dangerous. And prices are higher. And public beaches are nastier.
Virginia Legislature
Our man.
Meanwhile? Fellow Virginians, did you bother to go to the polls and vote for Our Winsome? How many lazy slacker voters did you drag along in the car pool? Those of you who did not bother to vote, voted for this mess, and deserve it.
