The 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s ride was Friday. His midnight ride began at the Old North Church in Boston. Today the church is illuminated with this warning.

Overheard at the church:
“Boston was not afraid of redcoats then, we won’t be afraid of red hats now.”

Working on a piece about history and whether or not finding parallels is helpful or distracting for resistance groups.

I won’t say more for now but leave you with these two photos which stopped me in my tracks today.

I picked this book up at random from the bookstore because of the colorful title lettering and the Mad-Libbian mix of rave reviewers in the back.
