I’ve got some family in the Midwest, and this reminds me of them.

Last weekend I was driving across the state when a biker gang, all sunglasses, grizzled beards and patched leather, passed by me. The lead guy gave me a one-handed salute and kept going.

I was puzzled at first, then I realized. It was my BÖC sticker. That lead biker and I connected, fan to fan, at 75 miles an hour, over an old rock band

Just in case anyone is interested, yes, the castle in The Odyssey is the Fortress of Santa Caterina, the one on the island of Favignana. You can’t miss it. They had to hike up to it everyday to shoot.

Pretty epic movie, btw.

My dear translater peeps—I’m a regular contributor here, and also a writer. My new book, which is a fun crime/dark fantasy story, is about coming out as trans at a later age and learning to be comfortable within yourself. When I was writing it, I called it “Trancy Drew,” and that’s the basic vibe. It’s a love letter to my trans friends (and me) who deserve a second chance. It’s just been released, so if this is your thing, go check it out. It can be found at the behemoth known as Amazon, or at the publisher, JournalStone.

Similarly, if you’ve written books, tell us about them (and add links) in the comments!! We want to know!

Rock on, beautiful people! ✊🏼

I don’t find his films cold at all. Kirk Douglas in Paths of Glory is the opposite of cold. EWS is about warming up a marriage. He’s certainly not afraid to shine a light on brutality and dehumanization, but me, I find Stanley’s humanity shining bright in every frame.
