If you’re in the U.S., today is July 4th, Independence Day – the day that you *may* celebrate kicking the Brits out. As a Brit now living in the U.S., I find it rather fun to say “Happy Kicking Us Out Day”, although I only tend to say it to people who I know. This…
Uphill, With A Target On Our Backs
This post is a hard one. It’s going to sit behind a content warning: #Transphobia #Hatred #RightWingExtremism. You can skip this and go to the section below if you want… But I’d love you to read this if you’re feeling strong. I think it will explain some stuff. CLICK SHOW MORE if you want to…
The Powerbook 5300 Is Back Online*! (And Other Creatures)
It’s Sunday evening, and somehow I’m ready for the week ahead. I’m not running to play catch up. I’ve got tomorrow’s video up and ready to publish in the morning. I’ve got most of the things I need for an outside video shoot tomorrow. And I’m sat down, on the couch, with a reasonably tidy…
It Has Happened!
I kept the reasons for my sudden weight loss focus last year quiet. Now I’m well on my way to fixing it, I’m ready to explain all.
Happy New Year! May It Suck Less?
2022 was one hell of a year, and we can’t wait to see it gone. Here’s hoping 2023 is a lot better.
We’re Stuck With Starlink For Now, And I Feel Like a Hypocrite
When we moved to the US in 2015, we had to rent for a few years (because credit scores, and the fact that it took a while to sell our UK house after we moved). But by the time we reached 2019, we’d saved up enough money for a deposit, and we began to look…
Do You Speak Flipper?
Happy Holidays, by the way. I’ve spent today not working. In fact, I’ve done very little today other than drive to my sister in-laws, have some food, and be part of a large gathering. (Which as an introvert… has left me pretty exhausted. I really should write about that in the future). But that’s not…
Buying Local, Making The Rest…
We’re now very much into the holiday season. And I guess that means for many, it’s time for last-minute shopping.
Luckily for us though, we’ve been able to do a lot more local shopping than usual.
Why I’m Back…
If you’ve followed me on social media, you’ll know that I’ve tried to rebuild and resurrect this site now several times over the last few years. I’ve usually failed. But this time, I’m pretty determined to keep the faith – and the site – independent. Recent political changes and the purchase of Twitter – a publicly traded company – by the world’s richest man one of the world’s richest men… and the systemic deletion of all checks and balances at said company under the overused flag of ‘free speech’ has led to increased hate attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, liberal politicians, and Jewish people. There’s been a rise in racism on the platform, and plenty of other shit you wouldn’t want to discuss at your holiday dinner table with your grandmother.
Well, That was fun*
The last time I was here was some time ago.A lot has happened.I could tell you all about what’s been going on, and it might make for an interesting story (of sorts). But frankly, I’m done with making excuses. I’m here, and Aminorjourney.com is back (or it’s new, depending on how long you’ve known me,…
