Sure, let’s talk about a National Divorce
A certain member of the House of Representatives called recently, not for the first time, for the negotiation of a separation of the United States into two parts. I thought this was rather cavalier of her, considering how hard she has worked to allow her chosen dictator and the party he has enslaved to get… Continue reading

Vocab 128 Part 16: P
Welcome back to my weekly series, Vocab 128, in which I sit down with pen and paper and write 128 words beginning with the same letter, in more or less the order that I think of them, before scanning the page and posting it here. The result is a flex of my vocabulary muscles, an… Continue reading

Political Murder

The unexpected loss of a favored place
It was the “Library of Black Excellence” that first drew Ariele and me to Epilogue Kitchen, an award winning restaurant in Salem, Oregon. I love things that double as libraries, and more generally places that celebrate books and their ability to propagate wisdom and ideas. That Epilogue placed itself in service of noble ideas and… Continue reading
