I was feeling sentimental and, if appearances can be trusted, looking rather nostalgic. This is one of the few online communities that placed association above content. Perhaps I'm speaking with a ghost, but I'll converse quietly with the dead rather than failing to cut through the roar of reddit, facebook, and others.
My facebook account is active, and I believe I'm still a part of the LF group, but talking with the old crew on facebook feels like chatting up friends in the lobby of an STD clinic. Although, I am still grateful for the time that Pone used facebook to get me out of an elevator. I would rather be loathed here than loved on social media.
Speaking of loathing, I'm back to writing stories. Don't expect any sort of release schedule, but should you want some diversion, you can find the ones I've published on Medium. The page isn't monetized, and the stories are only there to be enjoyed.

Missing all my LF pals from back in the early days.

Well, I don't have easy access to Twitter this morning, because all my clients aren't working. Lol, I feel like I'm back on LF in 20004-2006, when I signed up. #firstworldproblems, I know.

I used to be around here circa 2006. There was some sort of incident and LF shut down around that time. Every couple years or so, (maybe longer,) I'd search to see if it was brought back up. I just did this now and it came up. I'm just wondering, are there RSS feeds anywhere?

Hi FuzzyDave - I know it might be a year before you see this, but I see from your Tumblr that you've gone into bypass surgery. Best wishes to you, and I hope to see more pics & mysteries form you in years to come!

Tomorrow is Election Day 2016. I'm leaving work early and the wife & I are going to friend's house for dinner and dessert and beverages, and watching the election results. How about you?

Back when it was weird. Now, the internet seems so stratified and Balkanized. It's boring.

Whelp. I have a job interview coming up. I did the phone "conversation" thing and it went well. I know I can show well in an in-person interview,so I have high hopes for this upcoming interview. If I Can land this job, it will be a huge pay raise, plus a huge increase in quality of life. Like, more vacation, less time working, more time with family. I have some life goals that aren't getting anywhere now simply because I don't make enough and I work too much. God willing, this will change.

I will be attending training with a local organization, the Islamic Resource Group of Minnesota, to be a speaker on Islam and Muslims. My special lady and I recently attended a presentation given by the IRG, and we think this kind of work is desperately needed. We also think that, as American converts, we can more effectively communicate with white American audiences. Also, we are told that couples can be very effective in communicating issues of gender.

education, activism, and positive community experiences in Minnesota.
With a focus on faith, social justice, and women’s empowerment, we provide books from

My favorite feminist Muslim book shop. The overall focus is on world feminism, with a special emphasis on the shared experiences of women worldwide. They also have a fantastic selection of books for young women and girls. There is a special emphasis on Muslim feminism and the education of Muslim girls and women.
A wonderful space to be in. And a great place to bring young girls and boys if you want them to be rad.
