I had a dream I saw a dump truck with thousands of rocks painted as various pride flags. They were being gathered and destroyed. At first it made me very sad, then it made me think of all the people who had painted those rocks and still had that impulse in their hearts.

Quit freaking out. Remember that in 10,000 B.C., when America had ZERO international trade, a family could afford a house like this on a single income.

I inherited a nice couch from my grandparents a decade ago. Its cushions are worn out, so I’m getting new ones made. It’s distressing that doing this will cost the same as a new couch. Like I know why, economies of scale yada yada. But still. Cheaper to get a new thing than fix an old one.

Over the course of the 12th & 13th centuries in Europe, the layout of the page in books became increasingly complex, due to changes to reading practice with the rise of scholasticism & the university. The sophisticated architecture of the page compresses an amazing amount of info into this space.

A powerpoint slide showing a page from a late 12th century copy of Peter of Lombard's commentary on the Psalms an epistles. To the left in large script is the scriptural text. To the right, in smaller script, is the commentary. I have outlines in various colors the different components that coordinate each but of commentary with the word or verse they gloss and that coordinate them with the auctor responsible for the commentary.

I don’t know that this is “crazy” so much as “it’s completely consistent for a bunch of billionaires who made their money contributing nothing to human welfare to dislike people who have the desire to do good in the world unconnected from the profit motive.”

Susan Crawford wins the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, according to many election analysts. This after Elon Musk and others poured millions into anti-transgender advertisements in the state. The anti-trans panic failed in Wisconsin. This is a major victory for LGBTQ+ people in the state.

I thought I could evade this battle by being Not A Woman, but no. It’s time to go to war against my internalized patriarchy. Down with pervasive guilt about not being enough. Up with doing what I can and feeling ok (or maybe even good) about it.

Men can and will learn to adjust to a world where women are their equals. I have no doubt of that. It will likely take a period of adjustment, and some will find it disturbing. But the most obvious thing that needs to happen is power needs to be rebalanced. In finance, in politics, socially.

You can gain political power, you can use violence against folks who oppose you. But that will never make you cool or worthy of respect. Even if you force folks to stop laughing at you in public, you can be certain they’ll be laughing in private.

Do you like protein and fiber and nutmeg? You should try Sweet Potato Breakfast. You bake a sweet potato the night before, let it cool right in the oven, peel it and cut it up, cover with nutmeg, maple syrup, plain yogurt, and chopped walnuts. It’s the descendant of pumpkin pie and parfait you need

Cut up sweet potatoes topped with yogurt, walnuts, nutmeg and maple syrup, in a metal container on my desk.

But the US never really got over its fascist tendencies, even after we were pushed into positioning ourselves as Freedom Land. The idea that the US is the Great Last Bastion of Freedom and Democracy is *part* of the US's fascist propaganda.

I’m struck by the echo of what people say about science. “Science isn’t always right but it has the capacity to self-correct!” This is trueish of science under good conditions. There isn’t actually much evidence that it’s true of current or recent US democracy.

Article about James Dobson’s early-career ties with eugenicists. Many similarities between what he taught about discipline within the Christian Patriarchal White Family and ABA techniques used to “normalize” autistic kids. The child isn’t a person to be nurtured but a creature to be trained.

A book cover from 1970: “Dare to discipline: a psychologist offers urgent advice to parents and teachers” by Dr. James Dobson.

The cover is dominated by the title but there is a simple graphic of a scale or teeter totter, on one side is “love” on the other “control”.

Book price 1.95. “325,000 copies in print”
