My name is Lew Wentz.

I am a 68 year old gay criminal defense lawyer. I have been keeping journals for 46 years. I am writing a book based on the journals.

I came out as a gay man in 1984. I was married to a woman then. I left the marriage after telling her I was gay.

My younger sister, Zoe, who I was very close to, died rather suddenly of pancreatic cancer earlier this year. She gave me permission to blog the last two weeks of her life. Those blogs run from May 1 to May 14, 2023.

I journaled my journey through the turbulent 1980's and 1990's. During that time, I was pretty vocal about being gay. I volunteered to help people with aids through their illness and death. And, I believe because of this, I was fired from my job as a deputy Public Defender in Modesto California. I also documented the 12 year relationship I had with my partner, Jim, who died in 2009.

I wrote pretty much daily about these events and many others. I never intended for the entries to be made public. But, I now think they should be, as they weave what I believe to be our common story of what it's been like to be out, human and gay in the past four decades.

And, as I journaled, I developed ideas and ways to journal and wrote about them in the journals. I discuss the impact journaling has had on me. And, the amazing revelation reviewing journal entries for the blog and book of just how incredible our lives have been. Memory fades. The journal details do not.

My hope is that , after reading the blogs, and maybe some day the book, you too will become addicted to journaling. Your life on paper will amaze you down the line.

My blog turned one year old on February 5, 2024.

funny thing is I don't really have any interest in hoarding knowledge or resources for myself in any way, I'm just bad at publishing stuff because I feel like that'd require a bit more stringent quality control than what I might expect of something made largely for my own use.

sometimes I think maybe I should set up something like a google drive or a git or something to just throw my personal- and work-in-progress stuff for people who are interested, but I dunno what limits for space or bandwidth or anything are like.

like I'm sure some people would possibly find the ColorSet unpacker python script useful?? It kinda sucks through and I want to make a better version of it and maybe one that could work as a standalone executable instead? and possibly a packer counterpart to the unpacker?? But also I keep thinking like "would this even be useful to anyone lmao??"

in theory you could probably make some kind of art program plugin that does all of this for you - even the bit with loading actual colorset information into layered colorset pairs, but I mean that's a lot of effort and I still largely use a 20+ year old version of Paint Shop Pro myself so...

#honestly the thing is i think more people should be able to do what i do #whether that is posing or model editing or whatever #keeping the knowledge exclusive only aid those who seek profit #while making it public empowers us all to create #imo that's what real democratisation of art is #giving everyone access to the tools and the knowledge involved #and hoping that if they come up with some new ideas or techniques #they too will give it back to the community for everyone's benefit #there's that expression about standing on the shoulders of giants #but look the great man theory of history is kinda bullshit #we're not standing on the shoulders of giants #we're standing on the shoulders of all of humanity #both those past and present #this is why i love openly collaborative environments #like open source or a lot of modding scenes or the like #sure you still get clashing egos and drama and whatever #but there's this idea that if we openly share our work then we all benefit #it's a rejection of the singular great man #the one visionary auteur #and instead embracing our community-driven nature #look this is something of an ideological thing for me ok #i suck at sharing stuff not because i think sharing is bad #but because i think the things i do aren't good enough #i know that's a silly thing to feel #but i still feel it #emotions care little for reason

About the Author

Harold H. Thompson was a 58 year old Irish-American anarchist serving life plus sentences in the State of Tennessee. He was a poet, his articles have been published in anarchist newspapers and newsletters over the years plus has published a booklet of prison writings and struggle poetry by Huddersfield ABC In England titled “They Will Never Get Us All!” He worked within prison as a jailhouse lawyer aiding other prisoners with legal matters, filing of intenal grievances, post-conviction and lawsuits against prison officials when warranted. He was engaged in fighting a pro se civil rights complaint against State employee defendants who were complicit in an assault on him by white racist inmates at Turney Center Industrial Prison during 1999. Harold stated the reason he put together this pamphlet is it saddens him when he heard stories of animal rights activists, environmentalists and anarchists being arrested and put through the Judicial mill by the monsters of the earth. Harold was a strict vegetarian, supports those brave comrades struggling for animal rights and against those raping our earth for corporate greed.

I find it lowkey amusing how over the course of learning Western geomancy, the divinatory practice nicknamed "dirt astrology", "poor man's astrology", and "astrology's little sister", I've so far been very succesful in my stubborn refusal to bring in any zodiacal correspondences into it and not learning a lick about zodiac signs.

#I love messing with occult and magic stuff #don't believe it's actually effective but it's a fun hobby #and with geomancy I've turned it into a fun writing exercise/outlining aid #it's not like I've avoided EVERYTHING astrological in geomancy #things like house charts and aspects and even planetary correspondences HAVE informed my understanding of the art #BUT #I have a bone to pick with zodiacal stuff specifically so I refuse to bring THAT in #also as my practice develops I am finding out I heavily favor shield chart techniques over house chart techniques #so in the end my practice IS surprisingly lacking in astrology for Western geomancy

welp the world continues to fucking suck---excuse me, the imbeciles with money and direct power continue to make living more akin to just surviving instead of doing things to even TRY and make shit better for folks other than themselves

but at least I'm getting to take another kudzu basket weaving class and for free! just gotta do about 4hrs of driving which will be me escaping into my character playlists and imagining scenarios

#nat talks #i was scrollin the tok and my fyp has been full of lots of world goings on #especially the new laws in florida and after i spent time watching a random vid #of cops trynna cause trouble for some teenagers who -jaywalked- in their neighborhood 😒#my algorithm is fucked and sending me more videos of shit and has been making me seeth all week #or more generally the past two days #and so just saw a vid on the stupid HB 1147 recently proposed in texas #to require students as young as 3rd grade to learn basically battlefield trauma dressing techniques #and that was my fuckin limit today #the world we live in #need to wake up by 5:30am to be on road by 6 anyway so may as well take a sleep aid and knock out #fuckin bullshit

#me #personal #work #most of the course was focused on children #because I work with them and I had to get it for work #we learned to perform cpr on a baby #a child and an adult #all different techniques #and so much more #but even though I'm happy I could practice all day today #and ask questions and everything #I hope I don't have to use this (too much)#I think it would be really hard #but I'm happy I know it all now #so at least I can do something if it happens #first aid #cpr

#nothin much to say re: nat schizotypal other than it was another situation where #i wrote a guy then was like Whoops My Finger Slipped #made another schizotypal character!#no changes to regular Nat just like. hm! ok #zeke! i have Zeke Thoughts tho #like. how she modifies her vampire hunting style n what ways she has a different fighting technique in order to accommodate her #various struggles n such #n like..... her unconventional methods that other vampire hunters r kind of ????? and amused at #like where most rely heavily on Lots Of Physical Combat And Fighting And Such #zeke is tough but cant manage quite so much of that intensity n has Other Methods that play to her strengths #she can hold her own in a fight BUT it takes a lot out of her and she crashes #also im 👀 at zeke having a yvonne-modified tactical mobility aid sometimes #idk. what is my point here. my point is i probably have chronic fatigue and i love zeke. thank u for coming to my ted talk #well idk if chronic fatigue for zeke yet but certainly Something #i already established zeke has unconventional methods due to her basically having to teach herself #but makes even more sense if she's accomodating for physical illness as well in ways lots of other vamp hunters dont need to #a rental car takes a left down rake street and disappears
