Un-Un-Cat links to episodes in order

 Un-Un-Cat stands for Unedited-Unapologetic-Catharsis.

Until I reach the end of the story, revise and edit the working draft, whittle it down from Un-Un-Cat to Un-Cat, -- all 2019 and 2020 episodes as-is are free to read. I.e. they are NOT behind the Medium pay-wall, yet except for one episode 9. tl;dr (too long; didn't read). Behind the Medium paywall since June 2020.

Why I posted 'The Year of the Fish'


Not spam, closure. I accept that I can’t change, really... anything, going on in the world, I’m just one more fool living in it. But, I can’t help but dream about a possible better time-line to reduce suffering. It’s just the way God made me. I escape into a fictional imaginary world. 


Yesterday, July 15th I posted what I felt like is the most important episode for mitigating climate change damage. It’s really about the impact of the oil age on the world’s oceans, and about people working together to save life on the planet, instead of being greedy, working their entire lives “away” for “profit”. What ever that is, an abstraction? The world, planet Earth and life, that’s real folks. Money, at least since fiat currency, is an abstraction, anyways… I digress. 


In my opinion, the oil age is realistically a hundred years from 1949 till 2049.


And our odds of the planet surviving, reducing suffering is greatly increased if we try to mitigate the damage, yesterday. And since we can’t do that, how about now?


------------------- P.s. at this date, July 2024, it doesn't seem that I'm ever going to "bounce back". Where was I in 2017? The 50+ (not telling how old I am) still middle-aged-ish Gen-X-er, is just working on keeping going, that's all.



While I know there are no excuses in this life, I have been asked by friends and family to give myself a break. In 2019 and 2020 I went through round three of cancer treatments and surgeries. It's just taking a little while longer for me to mentally bounce back to where I was in 2017 when I started the first draft of this project. The pathology report from 2020, unlike 2019, was good news, officially I'm cancer-free, just got a couple new holes in me and a few more scars for my "collection". In 2021 post treatment side-effects were so bad I thought I might have a brain tumor. MRI results from the last week in Sept, 2021 say all clear, as far as it can see, I'm losing my mind the old fashioned way.  

From April 4th, 2020 (the date the last episode was posted) till now-ish 2021. I've re-drafted and revised the next episode three times. Then couldn't convince myself to continue. An explanation for the long intermission will be posted when I get there, sorry for the delay.

Thanks for reading, ☮+💚🌎 Uva Be
