hahaha...scary! Okay, here's what I did when I came back to the US in August, 2024. Hundreds of people standing in line at passport control, stepping up and getting their pupils scanned and both hands, all fingers, fingerprinted. No one not complying, although the sign said, "if you are a US citizen and you do not want to be photographed, speak to a TSA rep. If you are a US citizen, we will just keep the photographs for a few days. If you are not a citizen, we will keep the photographs of you for the purpose of facial recognition." When it was my turn at the agent window, and I passed my passport under the shield to him, he said;"Step in front of the camera, please." I leaned around the shield and very quietly said: "I don't want to be photographed. And, I don't want to be fingerprinted. And, I am 76 years old." He asked me how long I had been away, and the purpose of my trip. When I answered those two questions, he slid my passport back under the shield and said, "Have a nice day." That's how I learned to do Resistance, from the hero of my book, I Am André, German Jew, French Resistance Fighter, British Spy!

Delta is pushing the face photos right now, hoping you won't notice It's illegal for them to compel it.

I don't want to fly any more. Looking for a mid-70s car with no electronics. Let me know if you see one...

I'm not feeling this whole man/woman thing. I'd rather pledge my allegiance to Big They/Them...

Ha! He's actually my twin, but 16 minutes older, so technically you could call him a big brother.

Sometimes I sits and thinks. Then I sits and thinks maybe the world can be saved by eliminating all males and their new-fangled machines. Also the Big Sister Machine invented to lure in the die-hard anti-males. We’ll go back to mule-carts and walking. Daily testing of all females for testosterone and aggression levels. Immediate elimination (still have to decide how) if too high. How long before the world is righted? Or tilted to a quicker doom?

No way they could be brother and sister. They're so opposite!

And who’s gonna save us from Big Sister? Things just get bigger and bigger but there’s still no solution.
