"You think evil is going to come into your houses wearing big black boots.
It doesn’t come like that.
Look at the language. It begins in the language."
—Joseph Brodsky
What will happen to the men who felled the Great Tree on Picts' Wall, asked Old Fox. The Lady Coventina will rise from her course below, said the King, & draw their torn & tattered souls down past the sweet harebells & the glass beads & the rings of jet, down past the soldiers' bones & the luck-worn coins, down into the far earth where all the dark things of this world are buried in the end of ends.

First of all, I love @RealLindaPerry. Second of all, I love this song written by Linda. Third of all, I love being a part of this video to try to make people think about what’s going on in this world today. Shout out to the little children that helped with the video! If our children don’t make it then what will? Again, I ask ‘What’s Up?’ Enjoy. https://t.co/3OcC3Uy62A

A moral approach calls us always to never compromise our values. That’s how you keep going. You wake up in the morning, plant your feet, and say, ‘Even if I fall, I’m falling forward; I’m not falling backward.' #CGI2023
@SenatorHeinrich This system is broken. Send off your passport (in the unreliable USPS no less ) and if you are lucky you might get your renewed one in 3 months. This really needs fixing! Please look into how this can be improved. Thank you.
One surprise of the last few sea days has been how much I've loved the islands West of Nordkapp (Rolvsøy/Ingøy/Hjelmsøy/Måsøy etc), with their small communities reliant on boats. I want to add them to my writing, but am finding little to read. Anyone know of writing about them?
