A monk addresses a large crowd after lunch in Fort Mill SC.

Today we were fortunate enough to join the #WalkForPeace monks for their mid-day break and lunch in Fort Mill SC. The blessing before the meal included remarkable vocal vibrations. The talk following the meal was educational, warm, and sometimes humorous.

Tonight, for the first time in too long, I listened to America’s “A Horse With No Name.” I was transported, not to some long ago memory, but to the actual feeling of my eighth grade self incorporating this song into my developing being. Oof..!

Thank you!

Fighting stupid, racist, lies with facts and truth alone is exhausting, yet necessary. The tedious idiots will almost certainly never learn, but we nevertheless must always risk speaking the truth in both the usual and novel ways. Thank you for your contributions to that effort.

Our protests and actions on behalf of others should, of course, be no less than we would have others do on our behalf.

This May Day afternoon at a pop up protest on Park Road in Charlotte NC. Well organized and mostly positive horns and gestures from passing vehicles. Thirty of us overall while I was there. Apologies for crude facial mark ups. #IndivisibleCLT #50501NC #MayDay #DueProcess

Picture of a can of Irish red ale.

A pack of four of these delicious Irish red ale was usually $8.99 in the local grocery. I went to get some and they’re now $12.99. No thanks. Tariff or tariff anticipation not appreciated.

I certainly should have always realized, as I now do, that without due process, all other rights are moot.
