This is a good description of what your friends and/or relatives might have been espousing recently. Won’t change any of their minds (that’d take more than a a few paragraphs) but it kinda clarifies things for you and me. www.growththrough.com/post/god-is-...

We have reached new levels of madness when an unelected, non senate-confirmed private citizen is overseeing an effort to overhaul or possibly end a congresionally mandated arm of our government. This is real trouble for the separation of powers, and with it, our basic democratic institutions.

Calls and text messages have flooded me in the last 72 hours from friends and colleagues in Sierra Leone and elsewhere: Are my meds going to be cut off? Am I going to die? I don't know what to tell them. I don't know what to tell anyone. Hope is my whole jam, but I feel very distant from it.

First attempt at shokupan bread (first attempt at homemade bread, really). I don’t think it was kneaded long enough, but still tastes good.

Looking forward to four more years of basking in the high levels of respect, dignity, and loyalty afforded to public educators that we've come to expect from Republican leaders in DC and Austin.

If @99pi.org were to do another book club, which book should we tackle? Caro’s Lyndon Johnson books are already being considered! Looking for nonfiction: readable, important, explains the world in a compelling way, offers a lot to discuss…
