A day in the life

September 24, 2022 Saturday 9:40pm

Although I should have stayed home, cleaned and worked cases, the Ocean Goddess called and I had to answer.

I swam one half mile in Aquatic Park, at the behest of Ken, who rescued me the 2nd hypothermic shock incident that I had. For that, he said that I owe him a beer.

He said to eat oatmeal and to dink warm tea pre swim for fuel.

He also said to swim to the flag once, and then to get out of the water and see how you feel.

Hypothermia is insidious. Euphoria proceeds the crash.

Another man said to touch finger to thumb while swimming. If you can do that, you don’t have hypothermia. Hypothermia is called the claw.

Another Dolphin Club member said that my ‘Ken” episode (Second session of hypothermic shock) was posted on line as a warning on the Dolphin Club Website. My name was not mentioned.

Spent the day in part in 1988.  (Journal review)

I came out in the Modesto Gay Bars in June. A boyfriend from Mendecino was with me.

I had forgotten all that.

And, the circle Sparkler dance we did around John Hickman on his 31st and last birthday.

Naked bicyclists were just past Jefferson turnout near the Dolphine club as I returned to my car to get my swim suit today.

Aquatic Park. I Loved it!

Later, some of them were near the Twin Peaks Bar on the Castro with nothing on!

Four guys walking up Market Street to the Twin Peaks called it “the crystal coffin” which they said that the Peaks deserved.

End of entry

Note:

This entry is a “day in the life’ entry.

I’m a member of the Dolphin Club in San Fransisco. The Dolphin Club is located on Jefferson Street. It is an ocean swimming and rowing club.

Hypothermic shock occurs when , due to over exposure to cold water, your core body temperature drops below 95 degrees. Your hands can freeze in a claw position. Your heart slows and can stop. You can die. 

Aquatic Park is a small bay Across the street from Ghirardelli’s in San Francisco, Ca. There are a series of buoys across the bay. The last one has a flag. The Dolphin Club sits at the western end of the bay. A swim from the club beach to the flag and back is about one half mile.

John Hickman was a gay man that I met through Aids support Hand to Hand in Sacramento. John had Aids and eventually died of it. Most likely a group of we Hand to Hand volunteers did a circle dance around him with sparklers on his last birthday.

Before Aids, John had been an extremely good looking man. He was from Michigan.

The Twin Peaks is a bar at Market and Castro Streets in San Fransisco. It’s where I met my partner Jim in 1997. Older gay men tend to be the main clientele, thus the nick name “crystal coffin."

My Mendocino boyfriend was a little older than me and lived in Mendocino. I drove up there and stayed with him one time. He apparently came to see me in Modesto and we went out to the bars in 1988. I haven’t heard from him in decades.

June 2023's sticker design (for the SCUMSUCK Hot Dog Sticker Club!)

The Taiwanese Humpback Dolphin:

These dolphins are born gray, and turn pink in adulthood. They are unique in that they retain grey spots around their dorsal fin after maturing. There are less than 100 of this type of Taiwanese dolphin left in the wild.

Curious because my school made me read these and most of my family aren't familiar with the majority of them, nor are my friends.

[asteracaea]

Hello can you please explain what is jack leopards and the dolphin club? Ty!!

oh yes anon i would love to! 🥰

just to recap the masters theft: S(o)B1, owner of big machine records, taylor's old label, sold her masters to S(o)B2, a person who had bullied her and basically been a POS to her (and others) over the years. it was hard enough for her to not be able to buy them herself, but the fact that he sold her life's work to this particular asshole person was devastating to her. she has said it felt like a major betrayal, especially because she had always felt that SoB1 viewed her as a daughter, but she learned the hard way that he was only ever after the $.

when songs are played in movies or shows or commercials, royalties go to not only the artist but also whoever owns the masters of the record. she said she vetoed many many requests to use her music in other media so the SoBs would not profit.

i'm not sure at what point she realized the loophole about re-recording, but it turns out that an artist can re-record her songs - especially if she wrote them - thereby creating new master copies of the tracks. if the new version is used, royalties do NOT go to whoever owns the original masters. hence the beautiful gift of the (taylor's version)s of her first six albums! she finally owns (or will soon) her life's work, her art, and it's a big Fuck You to the assholes. she's also paving the way for other artists to have more rights and control over their work.

there were some legal limitations about how much time could pass before she was allowed to re-record her albums. reputation just recently passed that time limit, but back in 2020 it was still too early. but it seems like she really really wanted lwymmd to be featured in an episode of killing eve (she gushed about loving the show on an episode of ellen). so yet another loophole was discovered - if a different band covered a song she wrote, she could grant permission for the cover to be used in a show without any royalties going to the bastards. so a cover of lwymmd by a mysterious, unheard-of group called jack leopards & the dolphin club appeared at the end of an episode. it didn't stay a mystery for long though ;) credits for the track said it was produced by nils sjöberg, taylor's pseudonym on this is what you came for (the song performed by calvin harris and rihanna that she wrote). fans also figured out that the cover was sung by her brother austin! (love that!! and i love his voice, it sounds so good!! also fans realized that the cover art for the single is a picture of austin as a little kid!) so she could be like "who me? wink wink!" while giving the SBs the middle finger.

the moral of this story is: do not fuck with Taylor Karma Swift

#jack leopards and the dolphin club #p.s. i'm not sure if anyone knows the true meaning of that name #lwymmd

I haven’t truly posted on this tumblr in years and at this point I think everyone who used to know about this account has unfollowed it or deactivated theirs. So I can speak freely.

Tonight is another night at a bachelor party in Las Vegas. It is exactly what the quintessential bachelor party consists of. Drugs, drinking, gambling, and strippers. The other guys (of whom I only really know my brother, brother in law, and my brother’s oldest friend) are all sharing stories of their past debaucheries.

Right now I’m obviously not with them. They’re at the strip club. I, like last night, slipped out as quietly as possible. Because strip clubs make me feel awkward and uncomfortable.

I don’t know if it’s social anxiety or if I’m just a loser, but I don’t do well in unstructured environments with people. I can make friends extremely easily in class, in clubs, and at work. When there’s a primary objective everyone is participating in, I can contribute to that, and communicate what I’m doing there while also making friends. All of my friends have been made in classrooms or in school clubs. The two exceptions were on my dorm floor and were my roommates who were forced to spend time with me.

I don’t know what that says about me. But I know that when I’m in situations like these, such as parties or at bars, I get depressed. I can tell I don’t belong. That feeling- like I’m the only one in the room that can’t figure it out- forms a pit in my throat. It makes me want to escape. But I don’t want to be alone. I would like to be with someone else. Normally, I have someone I love who I can’t talk to. But it’s approaching 3 AM at home and she’s tired from watching our child, so I won’t wake her. (That’s why I’m posting this; to vent.)

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. It’s been so long since I felt this way that I thought I’ve been fixed. I’m not, though.

I don’t know if it is fixable.

#also I tried to find a cookie. just a decent chocolate chip cookie. IMPOSSIBLE task apprently. I went to half a dozen restaurants and shops. #NADA. NOT A SINGLE COOKIE THAT WASN’T OBVIOUSLY TOTALLY DIRED OUT. VEGAS FOOD FUCKING SUCKS. #ALSO! also!!!! The Mirage CLOSED the tiger exhibit and dolphin habitat??!!! IS FUN ILLEGAL IN VEGAS NOW. #I wasn’t even gonna sulk in my room. I was gonna go to the bar by the hot tub but that’s fucking closed too. #I was hoping the cold would keep it low key #the only outdoor bar is a club on top of Caesar’s palace and going back to a club will make me want to jump off the roof. #so we’re back to posting on tumblr.

hm...well since i just posted about them last night, let's talk about cadabra and lucifer!

Cadabra's markings aren't fully visible, but she's an Icadyptes salasi, I based them off of Wikipedia's interpretation because it's my favorite. Lucifer is a Great Auk!

While Cadabra's most recent design is themed around CPI (both because I thought it was funny since it's her OGCP design and because I liked how it came out), Lucifer's design has always been based off of Wizard Furby clothing wise!

Here is his earliest design! I ended up making his feather's a brighter purple because I felt like I needed a bit more variety when it came to my villains' color schemes, since a few of them also have darker palettes. As for the scars, I ended up retconning them since he didn't really have a reason to have them (that I can remember anyhow...this is why you write these things down about your OCs)!

They have voiceclaims! Cadabra's is Oleander from Them's Fightin' Herds, while Lucifer's is Don Onion from The Munchables!

Originally, I had the idea that they were two rivals that hated each other...but over time, I started seeing them as best friends (albeit friends who are very ...argumentative sometimes). So close in fact, that when two aspiring villains summoned them without realizing it'd actually work, they ended up seeing themselves in them...

I'm still tinkering at their backstories, so for now let's focus on their relationship with Gin and Scrabble, since that's pretty ironed out in my brain.

To say that they think those two are disappointments as far as villains go is an understatement. Gin doesn't know any magic, and Scrabble has such magical potential but doesn't apply himself enough! But Gin has such impressive speed and physical strength, and Scrabble is such a little weakling that a stiff breeze sends him helplessly tumbling away! Not to mention that both of them refuse the idea of actually getting rid of their enemies. For how much Gin rants and raves about Richter getting in the way, Cadabra should be allowed to bring up that she could throw Richter into the ocean after tying them to a weight and being done with it without the snow leopard becoming so pale! And Lucifer should be able to suggest turning Rolly into a puffle so he can't do anything to stop him without Scrabble saying that it's "too evil" and "villainy is supposed to be FUN man". What is with villains today? Well, it's a good thing they're back to save these two from themselves.

Try as they might, though...Gin struggles to learn spells because she didn't grow up in a magical environment, but upstate New York. And Scrabble being as fragile and fun loving as he is refuses to learn how to breathe fire to be a scarier dragon (necause that's a disaster waiting to happen) OR use his magic for things that are "too evil"...something Lucifer is annoyed by to no end. You ARE evil! You can't say turning your enemies into stone is too evil!

Exhausted from the harsh treatment and training, Scrabble and Gin decide to try and figure out a way to put things right...but thats a story for another post.
