stacey youdin - The Paxton Pundit: salonistas

Politics, Imagery and More

Writing under this nom de plume since October, 1999 when we lived in Paxton Springs, NM. We got 10 free hours of modem time from an educator tech net.

OpenSalon (a salon.com blog site) was home to The Paxton Pundit / Stacey Youdin from the "beta" days of early 2008 until March, 2015, when it folded. My closing thoughts on the place are here, at this blog's inaugural post.

My Flickr page holds years of photographs, digital images, collages, and cartoons. Got a scanner one time that came with 'free' Adobe Photoshop 2.

No interest whatsoever in Twitter, Facebook and the rest. Sent money to The Guardian, The Times, The Post. I maintain a monthly digital subscription to my home town paper and recommend everyone, if not a paper format subscriber, do the same with theirs.

Some favorites are linked below. Charles P. Pierce at Esquire is required reading.

Fair use is the sincerest form of flattery, so thanks in advance for a mention if your writing found a prompt on these pages.
