I grew up attending the Grange Fair and Encampment as did my father before me and my grandmother before him. Aunt Ida at the Frazier tent in 1973. #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #grange #centrehall #centrecounty #summer #summerfair #summerfairs #endofsummer #pennstate #psu #farmanimals #rides #food #funnelcakes #deepfriedoreos #family #tenting #familyheritage #tentingwiththegrange #1970s #childhood #childhoodmemories #tent #tents #glamping

My parents taught me many things; most of them were wrong. But one night sitting in front of the television watching The Ed Sullivan Show, they taught me something I’ve never let go of.
My father turns down the volume of the TV, looks at me, and says, “You know, it’s important that everyone be treated the same, no matter what language they speak, whether they’re a man or a woman, or the color of their skin.”

Ah, memories from the 80s.

This song is tied to 2 of my childhood memories from the 80s. It was the 1st time my parents let me & a friend take the bus downtown together for a movie night out. We saw Mannequin & this was one of the biggest songs from that movie.

It was also the song that us kids played, during our first grocery store protest at the now closed Wellburn Market on Burnside. They jacked up Mr. Noodle prices & ice cream prices. We scaled their building & protested on their roof. I was 11 years old. One of our friends played the song from her ghetto blaster.

He stares me down and screams, “I think you’re a fag.”
And I freeze.
Of course I freeze. That word has history.

Gemini just helped me solve a mystery that’s been plaguing me for years! 🛸

​I’ve had this distinct, very early memory of a TV show I watched as a kid, but for ages, I couldn't find it. No search engine, database, or social media group could crack the code.

​I finally decided to try a simple prompt with AI...

The Old Child & The Sad Clown: Arnold_80s
A glimpse into the BasBaz darkness.
This time-lapse captures 'Arnold_80s', born from testing brushes. It evolved into an 80s TV memory: the character Arnold. A cheeky yet tragic clown face, an old child trapped in a body that grew old too soon. "What you talking about, Willis!?"

Thanks for watching!

❓️️ Question 4 the geeks: I use my iPadPro exclusively for Procreate. I'd like to use it for more but can't stand iPadOS. I'm trying to install Linux via a VM (UTM), but it only work on older models. Any tips on running Linux on my M4 while keeping iOS for my ❤️ Procreate?

A Bengali recalls the simple joys of Saraswati Puja away from home — the closed books, the yellow sarees, the smell of khichuri, and a childhood where faith, innocence and happiness came effortlessly. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/lifestyle/saraswati-puja-2026-bengali-nostalgia-sbyy9gma?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #SaraswatiPuja #BengaliNostalgia #ChildhoodMemories #AwayFromHome

A Haunt of Nostalgia

Before I begin, I need to give my thanks to Stephen King for the train of thought that arose while reading It recently for the second time. He describes the town of Derry as a haunt, listing the different definitions of the word haunt, one of which is a place where animals feed.

The past haunts.

Memories ache. Simple ones like thinking of a Currier and Ives print being reminiscent of childhood, where you could open the door in your imagination and step through into the delight of the winterscape print with scenes of snow, dogs, kids, magic, and wonder. Most of all, the feeling that this could last forever—this delightful joy of living in the moment, no worries about tomorrow, only unending wonder at what magic would happen next, that feeling of lightness in the chest, a sense of freedom, oneness with the world. Oh, how memories ache; how memories haunt.

They are the places I go to feed.

I think it’s just something that naturally happens in middle age – certain locked-away memories of childhood begin to resurface, murky at first in the turbid waters of my mind. As I go about my daily routine, whether reading, working, shopping, or engaging in whatever random activity that occupies my time, a little ripple begins to stir within me, driven by the plop of some stone that has come loose from the bank of the river of memory. It’s as if fragments of my past, long buried beneath the sediment of routine life, are calling out for recognition. I make a brief note of the sensation, the subtle tug at my consciousness, but it’s not until it gathers momentum that it transforms into a veritable landslide of recollection. Suddenly, I find myself fully immersed in the clearwaters of my youth, where vivid images and sounds from the past wash over me. I can hear the laughter of friends, the sweetness of sun-drenched afternoons, and the innocence of my younger self.

But we all forget, don’t we? How many adults fully remember their childhood—the freedom, the awareness, the wonder? Maybe we’re supposed to forget, tucked away in the folds of time. How could we possibly attend to the responsibilities of adulthood if we still behave like kids, losing ourselves in daydreams and fantastical play? Ha! Perhaps it would be easier if we had a better sense of wonder, of magic, of imagination—more in touch with the possibility that surrounds us every day.

That’s really it, isn’t it?

Possibility.

As children, possibilities are all around us; we’re open to them regardless of fear, eagerly chasing after shadows and constructing worlds of our own design. We believe everything and anything is possible, from flying to far-off lands to befriending talking animals. But adulthood—what is possible then? Magic? Miracles? Absolutely not, that’s fiction, relegated to storybooks and childhood fantasies. Or is it? It seems in childhood, magic is a fact, a palpable force that colors our experiences with vibrancy. Maybe the magic is real, and the adults who have forgotten (the faces of their fathers. Thankee sai, Stephen King) can still touch that magic; all it takes is perhaps a fleeting moment of nostalgia or a familiar scent wafting through the air.

Because I remember the smells, the air, the texture, the freshness of spring in the Adirondacks, where every breeze carries whispers of possibility. It isn’t just a memory but a place I can still step into, still walk about, touching 1987 like it was yesterday. These are the places I haunt, where echoes of laughter linger and where my imagination took flight. These are the places I go to feed, rejuvenating my spirit and reminding me that though the years may stack upon me like leaves in autumn, the essence of childhood and its endless possibilities are always within reach.

Kids and Mazes on Grand Parade

Cork was wrapped in a thick fog on a mild Christmas Eve in 2005. Children were running around a painted maze on the ground near the National Monument on Grand Parade and having a great time. Twenty years ago! So much has changed....
