In the ultimate sense, location isn’t a valid concept, but merely a construct of the ego. Yes, in each of our everyday worlds, location is one datum of our identities. But on the ultimate level, there is simply one single unchanging subjective object, and really, we’re all there all the time whether we notice it or not, without a choice in the matter. Therefore, clearly, people without a specific location identification are’ more real’ than the others. ---

I keep mine as “Portlandia”, not because of the TV show, but because I came up with the name before the TV show ever appeared. I’m pretty sure they must owe me money. ---

Tough titties. I’ve made no secret of my location but I see no imperative that everyone needs to have it tagged on every post. ---

I have to say this really does drive me crazy - “what’s this weed? It’s long and skinny and variegated, it has a long tap root…” but they don’t say “and I live in Malawi.” “Did I just see a rare bird?!” Well that depends. If you live in the Amazon rainforest, no. If you live in Juneau, yes, that’s pretty rare. ---

Same place I always am, the Cayman Islands. Much like **lel** , if there is even one snowflake then it would be a major event by our local weather standards. ---
