Happy the man who can endure the highest and the lowest fortune. He, who has endured such vicissitudes with equanimity, has deprived misfortune of its power.
— Seneca The Younger

Tyler, the Portly Politico on First, Coffee: “Great post, jonolan, O Brilliant One. I wrote a less visually-enticing post about coffee myself back in March: https://theportlypolitico.com/2021/03/24/the-joy-of-coffee/” Sep 1, 10:41

As Tyler, The Portly Politico recently reminded me, Fall officially started Wednesday, Sep 22. So, that combined with the oddly seasonal sudden cooling we’ve experienced up here in NY, definitely means we’ve felt the 1st brush of Autumn in 2021.
Like Tyler and a plethora of other people, Autumn is my favorite season, though for different reasons than most will admit to. 😛
Thigh-High Socks – An Overlooked Goodness
The 1st great joy of this, my favorite season, is the return of thigh-high socks. I don’t know why – there’s little to no point in arguing matters of taste or attraction, even with one’s self – but socks up over their knees, especially when combined with shorts, short skirts, or minidresses, is a wonderful and titillating part of Autumn for me.
Sweaters – A Classic Autumn Joy
And, of joyous course, the 1st brush of Autumn is also the 1st blush of sweater season. And, who doesn’t love – or, at least lust after – women in sweaters? For Americans, it is literally part of our culture and has been entrenched in it since before WW2.
Pokies – The Cherries On Top Of Boob Sundaes
Of course, the best thing about the 1st blush of Autumn and its cooler weather is the women who weren’t expecting it, didn’t care about it, or choose to capitalize upon it. 😉
Oh yes! I love the 1st blush of Autumn and all the beauty and joy it brings me.

Nekos, short for Nekomimi (Cat Ears) or the more proper Nekomusume (Cat Daughters) are by most metrics the queens of Beast Girls (Kemonomusume) in anime, manga, and weeb culture.
And really? Why not? They’re worthy of our homage. Nyan, Baby, Nyan! 😆

A Risen Dragon – Dragon Con That Is, And Only Sort Of
So, in something resembling defiance of the long haul panicdemic, Dragon Con has resumed this year and currently as of this writing in session. True, they’ve deliberately limited the number of attendees to only slightly above half their normal number, and certain favorite, public events have been left off the schedule, but the convention is happening.
So, in support of Dragon Con, here are some lovely cosplay babes, since they’re actually the favorite part of SciFi conventions like Dragon Con for many attendees. And, like the convention itself, posts like this are something of a tradition with me. 😉

Start your day off right. With coffee – or tea if that’s your cuppa – before you read the paper or surf the web for your morning “news.” Coffee first, then check to see what today’s outrage is or is supposed to be according to the Lamestream Media.
Remember that! First Coffee! Then, all the other shit.
First, Coffee. Always First, Coffee Before The Day’s Meshugas
OK, OK, OK! If you’re luckier/smarter than I am (highly unlikely but possible), as lucky/smart as I am (oddly rare), or even half as lucky/smart as I am (decent chance of that!), coffee should be the 2nd thing you do in the morning. But still, the 1st thing once you get out of bed. 😉
The important thing is to start the day with something good that will also center yourself. It’s important to get your mind in a rooted, good place before perusing the crap the world has for you each day.

Plaga Ad Eternum – plague forever or the eternal plague – that’s the best way to describe COVID-19 or, at least, the Lamestream Media’s and certain political parties’ current spin on things. For exactly so long as it serves their purses or political aspirations, this disease will be with us, not only in fact but in reporting, browbeating, and carefully crafted countermeasures.
And, like almost all exercises in Social Engineering, there’s just enough truth as born out by the facts in evidence, to sustain the Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt (FUD) and to ensure that they do not waste this crisis. After all, COVID-19 quickly sprouted Alpha, Beta, and Gamma variants, and we now have Delta spurring a resurgence of lockdowns. And, there’s already Lambda, which is touted as being immune to at least some of the vaccinations.
More importantly and far more tellingly to me is that the Coronavirus and the terror it was used to generate in so many people is now part of the zeitgeist of Western Civilization.
Corona Cuties Are The New It Girls – Sort Of
Yeah, Corona Cuties aka COVID Cuties – and substitute QTs for Cuties at need – were the new It Girls in 2020. Now, however, they’re only sort of that way, since the whole mask thing has been largely normalized. In truth, these babes and all but a handful of the ones I’ve posted previously were ones I found while searching for varieties of technically SFW prurience that had absolutely nothing to do with the pandemic.
Now, don’t misunderstand me, wilfully or otherwise; it should be obvious that I personally don’t believe that wearing PPE horrendously detracts from these hotties’ beauty. While I miss seeing the lower half of their faces, especially their lips, it’s always been a woman’s eyes that drew me in the most.
That being said, a minority of these women and of the mask-wearing women I’ve previously post have been depicted in group or public settings. Most have been shown alone and in indoor, isolated settings. Hence, this isn’t just wearing a mask; it’s deliberately wearing one for the purpose of adding to- and shifting the norm of eroticism.
And that, Ladies, Gentlemen, and any others who might be reading this, is a significant sign of an even more significant problem within our country. It’s a sign that the coronavirus and the abject fear of it has already become all to entrenched in the hearts and minds of far too many people within our borders. That makes it all to easy for certain sorts of politicians to strip liberties aways in the name of security and the “general welfare” of the populace.
Yes, sadly, the Coronavirus in all its permutations is a Plaga Ad Eternum, as will likely be much of the fear of it and the profiteering off of it the media and certain politicians will engage in.
