RIP Annie Dillard, one of the great, if not the greatest, non-fiction stylists of our time www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/b...

Annie Dillard, Meditative Author of ‘Pilgrim at Tinker Creek,’ Dies at 81
Her Thoreau-like account of journeys in the woods, published when she was 28, was the first of many ruminations on life and nature, good and evil.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god
The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken.  How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Keeping your family alive used to be an endless stream of boiling, scrubbing, tending to the sick, wondering, worrying, grieving the losses. It was so hard. The grueling care work involved in having a family eclipsed other spheres of life for the vast majority of women. That's the aim here.

From the ACLU Washington, DC Chapter in case there are still laws:
What is a “stop”? When police act in a way that would make a reasonable person feel not free to leave, for example, by ordering you to stop or physically halting you, that is considered a “stop” under the Fourth Amendment.
To clarify whether you are being questioned, stopped, or arrested, ask “am I free to go?,”and, if the officer says no, ask“am I under arrest?”
Is the stop legal? Police can stop you only if they have “reasonable suspicion” that you’re involved in a crime. Reasonable suspicion must be based on specific facts. For example, police can stop you if you match the description of someone who just committed a crime. Police cannot stop you for a vague reason (because you just “look suspicious”) or for a biased reason (because you are, for example, Black or transgender).
Police can ask questions. They even can lie to extract information. You don’t have to answer their questions and can say “I don’t want to talk to you” or “I don’t want to answer that.”
If police ask for ID: MPD officers cannot force you to show ID (except for a driver’s license if you’re stopped while driving). However, federal immigration officers can force you to show immigration documents and disclose your immigration status.
If police ask to search or take a look at your person or belongings, you don’t have to consent and you should say “I don’t consent to this search.” Note that even if you refuse to consent, officers may still have authority to search you (see next section).
If you are arrested, ask to speak with a lawyer.

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...
Rep. Laurel Libby, R-Auburn, recently used my second-place finish in the 1,600-meter run, and that of my teammate in the 800-meter run, to malign Soren Stark-Chessa, the trans-identified athlete who finished first.

One of the reasons I chose to run cross-country and track is the community: Teammates cheering each other on, athletes from different schools coming together, and the fact that personal improvement is valued as much as, if not more than, the place we finish.

Last Friday, I ran the fastest 1,600-meter race I have ever run in middle school or high school track and earned varsity status by my school’s standards. I am extremely proud of the effort I put into the race and the time that I achieved. The fact that someone else finished in front of me didn’t diminish the happiness I felt after finishing that race. I don’t feel like first place was taken from me. Instead, I feel like a happy day was turned ugly by a bully who is using children to make political points.

We are all just kids trying to make our way through high school. Participating in sports is the highlight of high school for some kids. No one was harmed by Soren’s participation in the girls’ track meet, but we are all harmed by the hateful rhetoric of bullies, like Rep. Libby, who want to take sports away from some kids just because of who they are.
