November 28, 1982[Authors’ note: 5CP posts generally are informal, like newspaper press releases. But as was the case with the original post on this subject, and because of the way this particular saga unfolded, a first-person approach seemed best. As a result, Derrick once again is stepping out from behind the curtain.]Before we get started, it would be helpful to first read the original article linked above; some of what …

Last time you heard from her, Krinn had just put out a tumblr post titled An Ad-Hoc, Informally-Specified, Bug-Ridden, Single-Subject Study Of Weight Loss Via Potassium Supplementation And Exercise Without Dieting. After losing 6 lbs in our Low-Dose Potassium Community Trial, she decided not to stop as planned but instead to keep going, and in fact go even harder. Eventually she ramped up to around 10,000 mg potassium a day, …

The people who found you in the alley called you Cowboy. We called you Moogs, Moogers, Moogerton, Mr Moogs, Meesta, Two Meestas, Beef, Roast Beef, Roast Beefy Weefy, Kitty, Kitty cat, Long cat, Kitty kitty, Pretty kitty, and Meow meow. Those were all your names. Today we had to say goodbye to our cat Moogs (pronounced “Moo” like the cow says + “gs”). He was nearly 19 years old, which …

Like many of the books I enjoyed growing up, Date with a Career is about a girl starting school in a new place but it is also about her determination to become a fashion designer. Saphronia Adams has spent most of her life in Manhattan with her mother, a successful actress, but now her mother is performing in Australia, so Saphronia has is spending her senior year in New England …

The “Art of Hosting” is a term that has taken on a life of its own in the world of participatory facilitation and leadership. It came into use some 25 years ago to describe the fundamental practice at the heart of participatory facilitation and it has become a bit of a cipher. I’ve had a couple of conversations in the last few weeks that reminded me that it’s probably time …

One of the most common things I have been told throughout my career is that my dog should do [x] behavior- well, because they should! What I was not expecting was the number of clients that apply the same metric to their friends and family, pet-related or not.

The small team’s art reminded one of the work of H.R Giger, and one would hope their next project would be about humans to take advantage of the body …

A reader asked about an Israeli grape juice called Inbalim ענבלים. I presume this is the brand:He asked why the juice had that name. I don't have an actual answer to that question. It's a label from the Arza Winery, and I don't see any official explanation online for that choice. But I can speculate, and I can certainly give more background to the word עִנְבָּל inbal.The word inbal has …

Reacting to something Mani said the other day: if you shoot color film, and you have a favorite color film, then that film is the best color film, regardless of what somebody else thinks. Some materials just "mesh" well with our own way of seeing and yield their gifts every time we use them. If you can identify a film as "yours," you're one of the lucky ones. MOO*. That's …

How can humanity be so evil and those with the fucking power to do something don’t. I try and avoid things like this because it truly breaks my brain, even more so as a father of two. So fucking evil. The Israeli ethno-state has a lot to answer for. Hopefully soon their time will come to answer for these abhorrent crimes.
