You know the white tank-top style undershirts that for years have been called “wife-beaters”? I’ve just run into a style blog that’s started calling them “wife-pleasers,” which I think is hilarious re-branding.

Update: They’re not alone: https://www.gq.com/story/white-ribbed-tank-top-wife-pleaser-tiktok

I wore a lot of Banana Republic clothing back in the mid-1980s.

the company retained its moral center. “They weren’t colonialists. It’s not about an actual safari. It’s about a spirit of adventure, and a spirit of imagined territories,”

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
