As noted above, I'm an archivist by trade, dad by calling, and a 51 y.o. cishet man. I've been using Tumblr on & off since circa 2009 but I started this blog in 2022. I mostly reblog stuff with an effort to share posts that don't have many notes or are cool things I find from years and years ago.
My fandoms: Star Trek, Doctor Who, Star Wars, The Muppets
Mostly though I post about great books, great movies, and great music as well as photography, birding, cats, theater, dance, Boston and New England things, women's hockey, and left-leaning politics.
My Tumblr side blogs:
MetroSoxual - my baseball blog where I mostly post about the Mets and Red Sox (hence the name)
Pod-the-Mts - where I share the best podcast episodes I'm listening to.
Tumbl-Reference Shelf - where I reblog all those really informative and helpful (and sometimes silly) Tumblr posts so I can find them easily later on.
Other places you can find me on the internet:
Panorama of the Mountains - my Wordpress blog
Street Archivist - my Instagram collection of street art, graffiti, and sticker art
LibraryThing - catalog of all the books I've ever read!
Letterboxd - catalog of all the movies I've ever watched!
Bluesky - where I share my mostly random thoughts
O-the-Mts means "of the mountains" although I've never actually lived in the mountains.

"That’s what makes Zohran Mamdani’s election in New York so unsettling to the old order. New York City is not just another municipality; it’s a sovereign-scale entity. Its population surpasses 38 states. Its metropolitan GDP trails only Texas and California.
It is, by any metric, a small country masquerading as a city.
It governs more lives and more wealth than most nations. If democratic socialism — housing reform, public banking, equitable taxation — functions here, it obliterates the myth that such governance can’t work at scale. The fear isn’t ideological. It’s empirical. Because if Mamdani can keep the lights on, reduce homelessness, and maintain economic growth without catering to Wall Street, then the capitalist gospel collapses under its own dead weight.
What terrifies the establishment isn’t failure. It’s feasibility.
If it works in New York, there’s no reason it can’t work in Nebraska. If it works in Queens, it can work in Kansas City. And once proof exists, belief becomes irrelevant. The ship of democracy, fully refitted, will keep sailing — and no one can claim it isn’t American."

Thoughts:
