Rated: 13+ · Book · Personal · #1311011
A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life.
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.

Ferry boat between Solvorn and Ornes across the Lustrafjord i Sogn og Fjordane.




I'm starting a new blog because

#982524 by Kåre Enga going to Montana
had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.

BOOK
Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!
#997339 by Kåre Enga going to Montana
is still hidden from the public and will remain so. It's more personal and full of angst. Was used for 30DBC for May 2020 and now used for Blogville.

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.
#1317094 by Kåre Enga going to Montana
was full... until the number of entries was increased. A mixed blog, mostly stories.

I'll be linking to
BOOK

is for my opinions. *Laugh*

BOOK

was set up for nature observations and musings.

 
BOOK
Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.
#1439092 by Kåre Enga going to Montana
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

 
FOLDER
Flash Fiction  (GC)
Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .
#2190336 by Kåre Enga going to Montana
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.

Journeys of an Alien Space crew.

"Blogging Circle of Friends "  Do you think artists should be more or less transparent when it comes to their political affiliation? Like for instance, the flack Garth Brooks received from his fan base because of his choice to participate in the inauguration even though he's Republican.

Short answer: NO! Longer answer is not so simple.

Art transcends the artist.

The artist doesn't owe you or anyone else an explanation of their beliefs. If an artist wants to make a political statement they are free to do it. Great artists often have strong political views. If someone doesn't like their art or their views there are other artists, and there are other customers. But... no need to shun or 'cancel'. It is possible to love the art without loving the artist.

The internet 'cancel culture' is susceptible to misinformation and slander. And the outrage can be overdone and misplaced.

Definition: "Cancel culture (or call-out culture) is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles - either online on social media, in the real world, or both. Those who are subject to this ostracism are said to be "canceled."

Call out someone? Why not. But know the facts and don't shun merely because you don't like what they say.

For "Space Blog"

Mini-review: This is an intriguing In&Out where the stories branch out in different directions and others can participate. Rating: (pending; lots to read)

Prompt: What do you think it would be like to encounter an alien race?

My Space Cadet series is based on that. On 'Home' it is necessary to not be tribal. I doubt most humans alive today could handle it. On this planet we can't even embrace other humans. It's one reason why Earth was/is/will-be interdicted imho.

Culture and language... can be overcome... it is among other animal species! But humans have trouble getting along with other animals. If we were more like bonobos than chimpanzees we might have a chance.
