By dint of life, my blog has become the place where, once a year, I publish my feelings and thoughts about Matthew Shepard and his murder in Laramie, Wyoming, back in 1998. The thing is, of course, that I’ve captured feelings on my blog for over 20 years – and while I can rearrange the […] Last fall when Twitter started being destroyed, I set up an account on Mastodon – and after an initial burst of activity on Mastodon, I have reverted back to my Twitter-scale of use. (In other words, I don’t use it at all.) That said, during my “active” time on Mastodon, I followed George Takei. […] Wow. Today marks 24 years since Matthew Shepard died. It remains difficult to write my thoughts about him every year, some of this is because I feel like I am being a bit repetitious, some of it is because I never quite know how to address my feelings about him every year. It’s not easy […] About 11 years ago, I promised to donate money to the University of Wyoming Rainbow Resource Center every year. I’ve kept my promise – some how donating enough to become worthy of individual attention from the UW Foundation. I don’t personally think that I’ve donated enough to qualify for this kind of attention, but be […] Fuck. Twenty-two years. Time is so fleeting – how the hell have 22 years passed? I write this from my new home, still in Berlin, but some 7 kilometers from my old home. One of the things about moving is that you must sort through all your belongings, even though you’ve forgotten that you own. […] I bought this hat from a shop in Laramie, Wyoming. I have no idea how long ago, how much, or which shop. The shop did have a small selection of goods made from buffalo wool, including coasters, which I keep in my living room. The hat was also there. Given the difficulties of obtaining […] What a find this was: I started digging through my cupboard. Either it is overstuffed or the flatpack cupboard is starting to see the end of its lifespan, some 17 years after it was initially assembled. I’ve had to reattach one of the doors about 3 times (an easy enough fix, but still….). Maybe […] I acquired this hat on August 8, 2018, while attending University of Wyoming Night at the Colorado Rockies – hence it has Steamboat (the bucking horse) and his rider in Colorado Rockies colors and “Go Pokes” embroidered down the side. A tasteful CR logo adorns the back. The game was against the Pittsburgh Pirates […] I’ve owned this flag since, I believe, spring of 1998. As I vaguely recall, I bought it shortly before graduating with my MA in Political Science (minor in Environment and Natural Resources) from the University of Wyoming. I cannot say that I ever had a specific plan for the flag, other than to just […] It’s like I do not talk about Wyoming enough – but here you are, today’s Whatchamacallit is an officially licensed University of Wyoming truck named, “Bringing home the bronze boot.” I bought it earlier this year for $60 plus $7.95 shipping (US domestic) – shipped it somewhere stateside, picked it up whilst visiting and […] |
