Daisybrain has migrated from WordPress over to Medium. In the process, it split into two blogs: Daisybrain and OCD-Free. The following post is reprinted from Daisybrain.
It’s time to squeeze more puns an anagrams out of the wilted cabbage that is my brain.
Travel logs sound unwieldy for travel. I would suggest travel twigs.
If you have stage fright and you’re making a public speech at a nudist colony, should you imagine the audience fully clothed?
Every Christmas I feel cramped, because I always try to live in the present. But that’s a long time to stay still in a box under a tree.
When I think about the looming prospect of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, I am unsettled by the following indisputable facts:
The letters of “Russia” can be rearranged to spell Sir USA, which makes Russia just a medieval version of the USA, which itself is the most violent country in the world, having invaded more nations than any other country in history.
“Ukraine” can be rearranged to spell air nukes.
“Sanctions” cast no sin.But “warfare” causesraw fear.
It makes sense that “European” sounds like “You’re a-peein’,” since “Europe” is our pee.
The Russians better watch out for Kamala Harris, since her name rearranges to spell Am liar shark. (Or Ma Liar Shark).
Joseph Biden presents as a bit more passive, with the anagrams Bed Pies John and Needs hip job.
I don’t know what it means, but Joseph Biden can also be rearranged to spell “Hep jibes, son!” Which sounds like something he’d say.
Most alarming are the Vladimir Putin anagrams: A Invalid Trump,Laid Vain Trump, VIP Admiral Nut, VIP until drama, Mad Turnip Vial, Variant Mud Lip, Invalid Apt. Rum, Animal Turd VIP, Valiant Rum Dip, Timid Pun Larva, Valiant Rump ID, Dim Lava Turnip, Avian Dirt Lump, Valiant Mud Rip, Limp Avian Turd, Putrid Anal Vim (has he sent the assassins after me yet?), Lava Rim Pundit, Invalid Rat Ump, Laid Up Varmint, Maudlin Rat VIP, Diurnal Vat Imp, Plain TV Radium, Primal Nut Diva, And Virtual Imp.
Whereas Ukraine’s “Zelensky” is simply El Zen Sky.
In other world news, “global warming” is a blaming growl,an aging warm boil, and an all raging womb. I like the imagery of the all raging womb of Mother Earth fighting against the aging warm boil of the planet caused by the blaming growl of humans in denial.

That’s all the blog I have time for before whatever it is I do besides blogging. Come visit me on Medium.
Slight misspellings can create a new world of words. It’s like the genetic mutations that make evolution possible. So, here’s to the evolution of the language:
Take all the fours in the world, put them all together, and you have a meta-4.
Pulverize a pound of eights and you have pile of particuleights.
Seven and eleven are odd numbers, yet they are made mostly of even (seven and eleven). Take the evens out and replace them with the more fitting odd, and you have sodd and elodd. Please use these versions from now on. Thank you.
“Nine” sounds exactly like the German word for “no”. This is far too negative for a positive number. From now on, let’s leave off the e, and call it “nin“. It will also help to immortalize the band Nine Inch Nails (NIN), which will, in turn, help us to remember that it stands for 9. Of course, the band will have to drop the e as well. This will make them Nin Inch Nails, and they can get rid of the superfluous part and finally just be Nin.
From millipede to millennium, the prefix mill- means thousand. Yet, we use it to denote a number 1,000 times greater than 1,000. From now on, we will be calling this number: 1,000 “one million.” Please adjust your math homework and test answers accordingly.

This is a short paper I wrote in response to the standard assignment of finding and writing about sites on the internet: A Few of My Favorite Peace Things
This is my 2006 report on the structural violence of institutional racism and poverty that produce an inadequate and unequal public school system in the United States. The case study is of Central High School in Providence, Rhode Island:
