5-7 books to something something about me? Good Lord. Um...

Okay, "A Wrinkle in Time", that's like a free space.

Thaddeus Golas, "A Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment".

Robinson, "A Short, Sharp Shock".

Me, "All Reality" (docs.google.com/document/d/1KH)

Ram Dass, "Be Here Now"

I don't know! Maybe Morick (ed) "Challenges to Empiricism".

Ooh how about Abbott's "Flatland"?

"Principia Discordia" of course.

Darn, that's eight already, and I haven't listed "The Wind in the Willows" yet, which should probably have been first.

And lots more!!

Whether you thought it could happen in America, or not. It is!

Dear Elon Musk, protesting is not a crime. Organizing online to protest isn't a crime either, even if you don't like the protesters' goals. We oppose any efforts to mislabel peaceful protesting as illegal—protests are foundational to our democracy.

Public service announcement (many people know this, but many don't):

Mexico used to be about twice as big and took up a HUGE portion of what is now the American south-west, including all of California, Arizona, and Texas. Many many many Mexican people never "immigrated" to the US. The land changed underneath them. Mexican culture has been a central part of the US since the 1820s.

Now you know.

One thing that might help cis people (and many trans people as well, tbh) is just to understand that there is a LOT of variety among trans people and their experiences. A GUT of gender would have to account for all of them. (I am not personally in possession of such a theory.)

The legacy of journalism in 2024 is that the public went into a fateful presidential election grossly, systematically ill-informed. It is so telling that not a single journalist even *mentioned* that basic fact.
