Our medical system is ALREADY pretty un functional and what’s about to happen is going to make it much, much worse for all of us. My nerves need a break.

I have stacks of things too beat up to list but too cool to pitch. Maybe someone is looking for a copy of this for super, super cheap? It’s hard to find. But very messed up.

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Friends, if you haven’t seen Dhoom 2 you are missing out. Mamdani using “Dhoom Machale” as his walkoff music is kind of analogous to the Mission: Impossible movie theme—only waaaay sexier.

Ursula Le Guin's 1999 letter to Michael Powell, the owner of Powell's Books in Portland. Powell's workers unionized in 2000 and have faced some union-busting measures since, but were the first contract in ILWU Local 5.

Dancing frogs have become a symbol of resistance in the USA.
Interestingly, over a decade ago David Graeber wrote a piece on the power of such symbols in protest movements.
The piece is called - On the Phenomenology of Giant Puppets. Here is an extract.

If I think I’m going to really love a book it can be hard to even start it. I’ve carted this copy around for years. This year, for many reasons, felt like it was time. It did not disappoint. This book was incredible.

Thinking about pushing some nice soothingly boring books. Isn’t the world just a little too frenzied? Maybe you need a nice black and white photo book of Manhole Covers. Sedate. Soporific. No lurid jarring colors or too much motion. No terrible unpredictable surprises. Just still grey quiet.

Not sure how to describe it, but this time of year always feels like I’m almost “home” so I wanted to come up with something that touches on that feeling a little
