The last sentence. I’m really no expert on prison abolition, but I’m sure that “deserve” is the most devilish word in our language, and when combined with “criminal,” it chases all possible thinking out far into the wilderness.

People (correctly) recognize that what going on in immigration enforcement and punishment is unjust torture of actual people that don't deserve it. People don't realize that prisoners face the same things and that they DO NOT deserve it. Adding the "criminal" label automatically removes empathy

Not many bands can pull off an eight-minute rocker at the Tiny Desk. Chicago's finest lean into its excellent guitar playing, poignant lyrics and a sturdy, Midwestern sensibility. n.pr/4gRQo6T

Yep, that’s me. Me, West Coast type of gal, thanking a gate attendant for access while doing field work: great! appreciate it! see ya later! Work colleague, Boston bred, born & educated, in complete seriousness: will you really see him later?

I've come down with a terrible quesedilla

I'm biking up a hill in the lowest gear, huffing. My kid in the bike trailer says to a stuffed animal, "We're taking the scenic route."

Just rocking out to "Losing My Religion" at the dollar store.

this is the kind of place that insufferable Church History nerds hang out right? I need to find who a historical figure was who would have known the wonderfully named Henry F Butts prior to his departure as a missionary from England to New Zealand in Dec 1841.

My friends: this is the best part of writing.

Editing a longer draft into shorter drafts is writing, is thinking, is deciding things. It’s as intimate, perhaps even more intimate, as human, perhaps even more human, as any act of writing.

OK ENOUGH PLAYING AROUND WHO THE FUCK HAS THIS VARIED THRUSH?!

Awful smoke has me at home and inside living vicariously through my old self's birding escapades. Here's a local big day I did once in Creston, BC. It apparently includes my first Forster's Terns. 🪶🌿 ebird.org/tripreport/7...
