Whether it’s Donald Trump banning media outlets he doesn’t like from the White House or the Oberlin student Senate banning use of racial epithets during student debates, both sides have a free speech problem.

After all, as I argued in this Labor Day column, no history of the holiday or labor in American should exclude enslaved Americans. www.saturdayeveningpost.com/2022/09/cons...

If we link the history of slavery to the labor movement, we can better understand the true interconnectedness of all Americans in the process.

Rest in peace, Wendell Berry.
The Peace of Wild Things
Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

from Openings: Poems (1968)

Do yourself a favor: watch this video, then watch the end of the OCC race in the Alps. Note that Lauren was initially in like 9th place, and she slowly made ground on everyone else...and this is her first 60k race. An incredible race! Kudos to Lauren, Naomi, and Sara www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B4t...

here is the thing. if you tell me that you believe that race is a biological category and that it is a guide to the objective superiority and inferiority of groups of people, i am not calling you a racist to *insult* you, i am calling you a racist because it best describes your beliefs.

He was maligned to death. Ellis told lies about (American) football, and Vietnam, and was welcomed back. Arday, it turns out, told the truth about football, and his 30 marathons in 35 days, and his charity fundraising, and was driven out, and driven beyond the edge.
