That’s why the Southern Hummingbird Huitzilopochtli was the Aztec god of war, blood, and human sacrifice. Hummingbirds were the fiercest creatures they knew. I’ve thought of using him as my avatar but haven’t found an image that works at a small scale. Here’s my favorite image of my altar (heh) ego. That’s me on the right, and a spammer in the middle.

I actually don’t identify as elderly, since I define “elderly” as starting at 75. And I prefer the term “old” anyhow. Be that as it may, I fall into many other people’s definition of elderly. On the other hand, I don’t want to be accused by ancient age activists of being a pretentious middle-aged self-pitying piece of shit whinging about age discrimination when I know nothing about it. ---

Unless you are exactly my age, you are not allowed to post any thoughts about age discrimination, because I am the center of the universe. ---
