It's fine. I called the clinic and was clear to resume biking if everything feels good.

Car culture is telling post op lumpectomy patients to start driving once the pain is gone but to not bike for a month.

I gotta get places!

Hamas is a creation of the occupation. Israel is always ultimately to blame.

I went to see community theatre do this once and the person I was with leaned over to me as the family was being expelled saying "I really didn't remember how depressing this is" and I thought that it was kinda funny to forget the entire premise of the play.

Love making money off of something that is fake and we have never needed. True innovation.

One thing that mainstream thought and norms erases from nearly all conversation is that unless someone lives under a truly democratic (read: socialist) state, all thinking people should be critical of their governments.

"The power of conversation" is am insane way to describe talking someone down. A more accurate headline would be that the Mountie saved his life by not murdering him.

Haha the medium is the message (a cool high brow zine) but the content is the audience (me thinking that he did this just to say he wrote another book)

However fast you drive on an unpaved road, it should not be so fast as to have you crash so hard into a tree that they need the jaws of life to get everyone out of the car should a crisis cause you to lose control.

Anyway, it's good to lie to young writers that there is an industry here. Get them used to imagining writing as a career so that by the time they're 38 and writing medical copy for a hospital foundation, they can feel like they've made it.

Every time I see early career fellowships for writers I wonder what will be left of the industry for them? There is a reason that for every mid or late career fellowship ther ranges infinite to 10 early career fellowships. These are dead ends.

I recently read about Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how the horror of the a-bombs instantly shifted Japan from perpetrator of violence to victim, and as such, they never were held to account for their imperial violence.

Israel looks like a mirror image to this phenomenon.

Counterpoint: McLuhan used them to distract from the fact that he was saying nothing interesting in the text.

Hah I have never been in mean in anything I've been paid to write. It's literally not allowed! An American editor of mine once noted that he thought it was insane that we couldn't criticize other journalists.
