PECKERWOOD AFTER DARK: The Language Of Legs Edition!

OPEN POST: Happy PSL Day!

Image
  While many aren't ready to accept that the Summer season is winding down, I know I am itching for Fall's sweet arrival. So naturally I see Pumpkin Spice Day (aka the day Starbucks unleashes their pumpkin spice latte on the masses) as the unofficial start to the spooky season. Even though I no longer support Starbucks, I will be making my own pumpkin spice latte at home and savour the sweet smell of the impending season.  Are you excited to see your grocery stores overrun with all things Pumpkin Spice?  Source: Healthy Foodie Girl

EVENING NIGHTCAP: Entitlement + Dorm Rooms = WTF. Nice Parenting *insert sarcasm*

Image
    Programming Note : Due to work schedule, I will be posting infrequently for the next few weeks. Thank you in advance for your understanding.   ► In the old days, dorm rooms were typically decorated with posters, small futon, and whatever crap your parents unloaded on you. When I went to college, my dorm room was decorated with posters of 1980s & 1990s bands and the periodic table of beer, a small side table missing a corner piece and a peacock wicker chair from Pier 1 that my mom hated so I took it. Today's college students would look down in disgust at this.  Nowadays students from entitled families are hiring dorm interior design services who charge up to $10,000 to decorate a dorm room. No longer does a freshman have to put up with a plywood bed and desk. They can now have a luxury headboard, wallpaper, window coverings, bed linens, custom furniture, artwork, and anything else a college freshman needs to tell the world, "I'm rich, bitch...

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Marvelous Morgana King!

Image
Greetings music vixens, and welcome to another edition of Music Manor Monday, today with a little Italiano flair, va bene ? Tonight, you can find out what this means by moseying on over to Pompino Club and Winery, where DJ Li'l Cat will be playing some tunes from a very special singing principessa . Quick, which jazz luminary also worked as a featured actress in "The Godfather" and "The Godfather II?" There's only one. If you guessed Morgana King, you're right! She played Carmela Corleone, the wife of Don Vito Corleone, or Marlon Brando, in both movies. Interesting side note: the character's first name is never mentioned in either movie, and because she's played by Morgana, she gets to sing a small bit from  "Luna Mezz'o Mare" during the wedding reception scene. The scrappy daughter of Sicilian immigrants, Morgana thrilled audiences from a young age. At 16 years old, she was embraced by New Orleans’ Black audiences at Bohemian Ca...

PECKERWOOD'S WEEKLY LUNOCRACY POST! For the Week of 8/25/2025!

Image
I n case you were willfully ignoring the news this past Friday - and who can blame you? - the Trump administration popped a squat in the late afternoon and left us with quite the cow pie, or the transcripts of a recent interview with convicted pedophile pimp, Ghislaine Maxwell, helpfully conducted by Trump's loyal lawyer minions. Never mind that she wasn't under oath, and never mind that her statements - "He was a gentleman in all respects," she cooed about Trump's social engagements with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein - are almost comically slavish. Or they would be if there weren't so many sickeningly abused girls and young women in the wake of this horror show. But qui pro quo , Maxwell likely intoned after the interview, since she was moved shortly after to a far cushier prison, which I'm sure is just a coincidence, n'est pas? Will MAGA take this on faith and move on from their obsession with Epstein? Maybe not, but they will be distracted, which...

Post A Pup Sundays: Farm Dogs: The Unpaid Foremen. Post Those Pups!!!

Image
Farm dogs don’t just live on the farm—they run it. You think you own them, but really they’re middle management with four legs. They clock in at dawn, patrol the fence lines, herd the animals, and glare at you when you’re moving too slow. Unlike barn cats, who work in silence and shadow, farm dogs are all volume and visibility. They’re the enforcers. Coyotes, strangers, delivery trucks—they handle the negotiations, usually with teeth. They’re also the sheep psychologists, coaxing stubborn animals with quiet pressure until they fall in line. A good farm dog makes you look competent; a bad farm dog gets you trampled by your own herd. Their loyalty isn’t the Hallmark-card kind—it’s pragmatic, hardwired, absolute. Rain, sleet, snow—they’re in the mud with you, covered in burrs, still working. They don’t need a contract. Their paycheck is a whistle, a pat, maybe scraps from the table. And they’ll die for the job, no questions asked. And of course, some breeds have union seniority in this fi...

OPEN POST: Sunday Comics With Patrick McDonnell And "Mutts!"

Image
I've always loved the gentle spirit of "Mutts," a comic strip by Patrick McDonnell which first popped up in the early 1990s and is still running to this day. It was an immediate popular hit. McDonnell himself was delighted when his childhood hero, Charles Schulz, publicly praised the strip, and thereafter, the two became close friends, one of the few that the notoriously agoraphobic Schulz had (along with Cathy Guisewite, the author of the "Cathy" strip, whom he adored).  In addition to his strip, McDonnall is well known for his animal rights advocacy , and the strip regularly addresses these issues. But for me, I treasure "Mutts" most for its powerfully minimalist design and its hushed tone, which seems to tap directly into a child's subconscious.  McDonnell's and Schulz' friendship extended into their own strips, as when "Earl," a character from "Mutts," appears in a painting admired by "Rerun" in "Peanu...

Saturday Is Caturday: Working Cats: The Ones on Payroll Without a Paycheck and...POST YOUR KITTIES and other cat stuff!

Image
  Every town has them. The vet office cat who slinks around like a mob boss. The library cat curled up on the biographies, silently judging you for checking out a romance novel. The shop cat who “greets” customers by staring directly through them.  They’re not pets. They’re employees. Unpaid, untrained, irreplaceable. And unlike your human coworkers, they can’t be fired. A working cat doesn’t apply for the job—it just shows up, clocks in with a nap, and dares anyone to argue. At the vet, they’re emotional support for nervous owners—and psychological warfare for the dogs trembling in plastic carriers. Dogs come in wagging their tails, leave with their dignity in tatters because Mr. Whiskers stared at them like a loan shark. “Nice kneecaps, shame if something happened.” In libraries, they’re mascots and archivists, curling up on open dictionaries like living punctuation. They are scholars of dust and silence, connoisseurs of sun-warmed windowsills. Patrons think they’re sweet. T...
