Wrote up something about Techdirt's recent coverage, and why (whether we like it or not) we need to be a "democracy blog" now, rather than just a "tech" blog (not that we've ever been just a tech blog).
This story is *the* story and it impacts everything else.

“…what happens when the fundamental systems that make all of those conversations possible start breaking down? When the people dismantling those systems aren’t even pretending to replace them with something better?"

Here’s a New Year’s Resolution:
Be on the side that reads books — not the side that bans them.
Find, make, or revisit your own traditions and rituals to serve as anchors of wayfinding through this crazy life and world.

Mom’s 49th & my 39th year, by our rough estimate, maybe give or take a few years. Tradition & ritual help provide essential mile markers for grounding, anchoring, and honoring the moments along the sojourn of life.

A black-and-white image of a cobblestone path illuminated by small luminaries, leading uphill to a church with a steeple visible against a foggy night sky, evoking a quiet, serene atmosphere.
Lots of change and reflection this week. Thinking of friends and colleagues come and gone.
But, thankfully some things remain (more or less) the same…
Hear, hear. And here for this. Similar models should be extended to all creatives…

Much like the @firebirdfestival and other well-known events and spots, the side streets, tucked-away corners, and lesser-known places help make up the heart and soul of our spirited little town. Here’s to casting a little more light & giving thanks for those quieter places, people, and moments. #pxv

Until abortion is legal in every state, lets require men to get a mandatory vasectomy until they are proven emotionally mature, financially responsible and ready to be a father.
Wait, what do you mean regulations on men's bodies make you uncomfortable?

Are you looking closely?
Longwood trees sway slow-
People mirrored in still ponds,
Following themselves.

I’ve been slowly returning to my roots in illustration over the last month with a local sketch club. Quick doodle from tonight’s session in pen, followed by renderings based on it in Midjourney to help channel what I’m seeing and hope to produce.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can do the funniest thing.
