I’ve always celebrated Thanksgiving for what it is to most people—a gathering of family and friends over a meal. I hope your day, however you choose to observe it, is filled with love and people, no matter how frustrating or angering some of them can be at times. We’re better together.

Watched Train Dreams tonight and found it a beautifully tragic exploration of the pain that life so often gives us mixed with the beauty of the world and goodness of humanity that remains.

My favorite movie since The Banshees of Inisherin (both that and Train Dreams have Kerry Condon). Also […]

Has anyone figured out how to post long form fiction online in ways that make it visually appealing and helpful to read long works such as a novel or novella (for example, a good way to pick up where you left off)? I’ve been looking for something useful but haven’t found much. What are other […]

I watched the second season of Shiny Happy People about Teen Mania leader Ron Luce. I was never in Teen Mania, but I was in Youth With A Mission (YWAM) right down the road from them in Texas.

The end of this season was disappointing in that they tried too hard to pin the whole of Christian […]

I grew up being taught Sacagawea was wholly Hidatsa and the story of her being Shoshone was wrong. Glad to see these arguments start making waves after being ignored for so long.

"For nearly a century, the Hidatsas' memories of Sacagawea lived on within the tribe but found little purchase […]

“'The scamming of writers has just gone through the roof,' says Cheryl Davis, general counsel for the Authors Guild, an advocacy group that has itself been impersonated as part of these scams. 'Unfortunately, writers are easy marks.'”

Not all Arabs are Muslim.

In some places in the Diaspora, Arab Christians are the majority.

Please don't assume you know someone's religion or cultural background based on what they look like or what language they speak.

"Out here, she writes, 'all flourishing is mutual.' It could be so with humans, says Kimmerer, as suggested by alternative economic arrangements such as #indigenous potlatches, little free libraries, open-source software projects, and – in what seems to be the genesis of the essay – the sharing […]
