Check out @karenswallowprior.bsky.social 's recent Substack post on John Milton and free speech, with a nod to my new book at the end! Thanks, Karen!
These words of John Milton are why I have been such a firm advocate all my adult life of free speech. I have always believed that “truth will out,” just as Ecclesiastes 2:13 says that “wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness” (NASB).

Just watched the 'Albatross' film with my students as a complement to our study of the Rime of the Ancient Mariner. This is amazing.
The world’s oldest known wild bird, a 74-year-old Laysan albatross named Wisdom, is expected to welcome another baby chick in the coming months, astonishing scientists who have been tracking her since 1956.
World’s Oldest Known Wild Bird Lays an Egg at 74
Wisdom, a Laysan albatross, has outlived at least three mates and the researcher who outfitted her with a tracking band in 1956.
