WTF IS THIS?

I'm Doug Holland, and who's that? Nobody — no credentials, no accomplishments. Just a guy with a blog.

I write about things that interest me. Often I'm wrong or an ass. When you think I'm full of crap, please explain it to me.

There's no registration, no memberships, no t-shirts or tote bags, and nothing's behind a paywall. You will not be asked to turn off your adblocker, because there will never be ads.

There will be occasional blasphemy and political dissent, use of naughty language and illegal substances, and references to pee and poop and boobies and boners. If you're easily offended, click elsewhere.

New posts by email:

Subscribing is free, there's no spam, and it's easy to unsubscribe when you've had enough of me.

AN APOLOGY

I've lived my entire life on stolen ground. Nothing can make amends for that, but I respectfully acknowledge and apologize to the 13,000,000 who came before, and were killed because they came before — the Atakapa, Caddo, Chitimacha, Chochenyo, Choctaw, Chumash, Hopewell, Houma, Kansa, Karkin, Kickapoo, Meskwaki, Mississippi, Missouri, Muckleshoot, Muwekma, Natchez, Nisqually, Ohlone, Osage, Otos, Paiute, Potawatomi, Puyallup, Ramaytush, Sauk, Suquamish, Tataviam, Tubatulabal, Tulalip, Tunica, Winnebago, Wyandotte, Yokuts, and especially to the Ho-Chunk people, on whose land I'm living now, an uninvited guest.

THINGS I LIKE

To be included below, simply don't suck, don't have a paywall, don't require registration, don't have an annoying web design, don't be overtly ordinary, religious, Republican, or all about selling something, and DO be worth reading, using, going, watching, listening, or pondering.
