Not a “girl power” story as our meagre age has come to know it. Think of it as, if they squint their eyes, they can imagine she’s a scaled down version of their Mother, and the kind of sister they would have ended up with. A Strange Encounter at the Crossroads By LFM The Spring […]

In the throes of the Late Unpleasantness, a lot of ideas floated, and even now never really shot down, could be readily identified as a waste of time and resources by anyone who understood how things work.

The fundamental flaw inherent in the clamorously contentious phenomenon of identity politics is that the ticket to entry to the Promised Land of its adherents is a label, proudly applied to the self and demanded of others. You may note that this looks a lot like forced conversion as historically practiced by the Catholic Church […]

A Dose of Reality By LFM Who would thrive shall not disgrace His worthiness for Nature’s grace. In service of what needs befall, What he would take, he takes not all. The first he finds, he moves on past, So he will never take the last. In our last conversation On Hunting, I said in […]

As has been made more than amply clear here lo these many years, I have been studying the Nature and use of the Blade, from chisels to axes, pen knives to sabres, scythes to ploughshares, épées to corkscrews; learning, teaching, and writing about it for a very big part of my nearly three score and […]
