Just ran into an elderly neighbor, who has dementia, wandering in the dark in the pouring rain. Took her to her friend's house. So glad I happened to be out walking the dog at just the right moment. If it looks like someone need help--ask, if you can. We need to take care of each other. 😕

Kajuji Temple, Yamashina Ward, Kyoto, Japan. Photography by Katsu

Framed by the dark timber posts and open doors of a heavy wooden temple gate (mon), a wet gravel path glistens following an autumn rain at Kajuji Temple in Kyoto's Yamashina Ward. Shallow rainwater pools mirror the brilliant red maples (momiji) that burst into fiery color along the approach, their scarlet leaves contrasting against evergreen shrubs and the mist-veiled, wooded slope of Mount Ogurayama in the distance. Overhanging grey roof tiles (kawara) form a dark upper border, while a simple bamboo railing guides the eye deeper into the mossy garden sanctuary. The scene awakens a deeply contemplative sensory environment: the gentle, crisp scent of wet earth, fallen maple leaves, and rain-soaked cedar timber, the crunch of crushed gravel shifting underfoot, the cool touch of autumn air clinging to the skin, and the soothing sound of rain dripping steadily from the curved eaves into puddles below. Founded in 900 AD by Emperor Daigo in memory of his mother, Fujiwara no Tane-ko, Kajuji (also read as Kanjuji) is an ancient temple of the Shingon sect of Esoteric Buddhism with deep imperial connections (monzeki). Located in the quiet eastern Yamashina valley of Kyoto, the temple is celebrated for its historic strolling pond garden (chisen-kaiyū-shiki teien), centered around the historic Himuro-ike pond, which in medieval times was used every winter to forecast the coming year's harvest based on the thickness of its ice.

Not to take away from celebrating Carson, but she's a "former professor" here in large part because the university shut down her department and cancelled its classes. What pride does the institution claim now—years later—when austerity is forcing other scholars out? What does that 'pride' do?

What's hard about it? She has the craft of creating books that aren't really that good that kids enjoy & attach nostalgia to as adults. As a commercial, pop writer, not really a literary artist. Her art is forgettable, clinging to it's not worth enriching her to wipe all trans folks from the planet.

Another moment when sports is useful, when it gets right at the truth of things. People want so damn badly to move on from reports of harm, from having to even think about the harm that men have done to women. Playing well in a game allows that. It's crude, yes, but it's common. ANYTHING to move on.

I have advocated in the past for announcers addressing the off-field gendered violence committed by athletes during games. But I am coming around to the belief that this is a bad idea. These men cannot handle the assignment and aren’t qualified. They could learn, yes, but they won’t.

The Cornell story is horrific, but I’d like to shine a light on what happened at LSU with a current football player on the team:

In July, the school found Shanklin responsible for "forcible rape" and issued a one-year suspension, which is a full ban from campus and activities, according to documents reviewed by ESPN. After Shanklin appealed, an administrative law judge who handles appeals per LSU policy upheld the finding that the athlete was responsible for "forcible rape," but reduced the punishment to four semesters of probation with no restrictions, which allows Shanklin to remain enrolled and on campus and to participate in activities as long as he stays out of trouble.

I see people victim-blame and try to logic-out the Cornell 7 rape case. "Why would she go into the frat house? Why would she drink?" etc. It's easier than thinking about how many men have done similar things to women, and whether men *they personally know* have harassed or assaulted women.

Anyway, take from this reaction what you will!!!!! This is a Conservative prime minister. Please, please consider whether you **actually** support his **policies** or just wish the narrative he's weaving around them was reality (it's not).

Former Alberta Premier (and former conservative cabinet minsiter) Jason Kenney posts, in reaction to Carney saying Canada must be the globe's oil supplier:

"Take a bow, Alberta WE WON!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Every line of this is what we Albertans have been saying for years!

Total repudiation of the Trudeau-Guilbault energy policy!

“Global oil demand will remain in the tens of millions of barrels a day for decades to come.

“So the question is: who will be the world’s trusted supplier of oil for years to come. It should be us. It must be Canada.”

As you organize around these issues, there is a role for the deeply informed question asker, for sure. The person who read the research and looked up the campaign donations. But there are many more accessible roles for the people can just show up and keep asking, “how” without losing their shit.

I find it fascinating that so many estranged parents view the estrangement as an incident, not as a process.
