"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought: You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another thought… the process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts"

Birthright citizenship changes? They portend caste hierarchies that will affect citizens as well. Here is my recent Mother Jones interview: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How Trump is creating an American caste system
If the administration's birthright citizenship executive order is implemented, "there will be a new kind of stratification" in the United States.

Oh, don't you think it's a miracle
that amidst all this pain
amidst all this noise
sometimes all it takes is a song
even a stupid song
just a stupid song
to remind you who you are
to remind you who you are

Ma non ti sembra un miracolo
Che in mezzo a questo dolore
E in tutto questo rumore
A volte basta una canzone
Anche una stupida canzone
Solo una stupida canzone
A ricordarti chi sei

Colleagues/academic writers: Presses have started sending AI addendums for existing book contracts. Are there options in these situations? What about edited books? Who is consulted in these cases? Can some opt out and others not? Some addendums don't offer such an option. #skyhistorians #AcademicSky
