@ChildFreeBC Years ago, I was part of an online community forum for Childfree By Choice women
Once, a person came on asking intrusive & very presumptive questions. Among them, "how many" abortions we'd each had.
Actually, none of the us in the group ever had.
That isn't what "choice" means.
Can't blame it on him not having kids.
I'm childfree and can't remember my own age, much less that of anyone else.
This includes my spouse and siblings,
any time the question is asked, I have to do math.
@MichelleGHunder @aimtomisb3hav3@mysteriouskat It's true, as the decades pass, connections and relationships exponentially add joy to life. It's important to make time for loved ones. These bonds, in my experience, are not strictly restricted to the parent-child form.
@ScottDavidKeefe The Monkees actually sang, with their own voices, on all their recordings. On only their first 2 albums were the instruments strictly played by The Wrecking Crew, The Monkees were included on every album afterward as musicians.
Quite different from Milli Vanilli
Best lit discussion book in ages, "The Atlas of Reds and Blues" by @DeviSLaskar
Poetic, layered, relatable and haunting. A history lesson but also timeless.
Not a long book, but one that needs more than 2 hours to talk through
@Algux@TheMickyDolenz1 True! Dolenz even wrote a Monkees song inspired by visiting London and attending a party hosted by The Beatles. In the UK, it was released as "Alternate Title" and in the States "Randy Scouse Git."
This is a long read -- but if you haven't been following the story of the $1.25 billion New Hanover Community Endowment, here's a place to start. https://t.co/XF4vo06a4g
Finally got to meet up with Deepak Rauniyar, the internationally known Nepalese movie director who's also a professor at @UNCWFilm Nice guy with a great story.

@petertork1967 To honor the anniversary of Michael Nesmith's last performance
and to try and feel less sad about it,
I listened to the song
"Michael Nesmith" by the band Minus-5
and thought about all he did and left with us that continue to put beauty and inspiration into to world
