And this is the last time I’ll post the link to the links here on Twitter, until Emerald Boy and his fascist cronies are finally driven off and the place is returned to some semblance of a place you’d like to be. I’m at https://t.co/iFkI7mCFy7 instead 🙂

On my way to @cityjournalism for teaching, and train filled with people dressed as farmers.
