  9. ’s latest piece is chilling — & crucial:


    “The idea that 🇺🇸 must become a Christian nation has apparently led Barr to accept the idea that a man who has called for the execution of those he sees as enemies should be president, apparently because he is expected to usher in an authoritarian Christian state, in preference to a man who is using the power of the government to help ordinary Americans.”

  14. The sweetest little Pacific tree frog (a.k.a. Pacific chorus frog) took up residence in our Purple Heuchera plant a few days ago, and hops out from beneath their favorite leaf to greet me (and/or to enjoy a shower) every day when I water it. (Not sure when I’ll get a chance to clean up the poor plant, which is looking pretty raggedy-ass after the winter — but that’s okay, my froggy friend doesn’t seem to mind!)

    “A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider God-fearing & pious.
    On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, wrongly believing that he has the Gods on his side.”

  24. “I was not a great student in college. I liked learning, but not on someone else’s timetable. It was this story that woke me up and made me a scholar. I found it fascinating that a group of ordinary people from country towns who shared a fear that they were losing their democracy could figure out how to work together to reclaim it.”
