Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.

LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks

To the jackass driver who cut me off this morning in downtown Olympia. I noticed your bumper sticker. “What would John Brown do?” I’ll take a stab at that. I think he wouldn’t drive like a Republican (hey, it’s the most vulgar term I could think of). Good day, sir.

I certainly don’t regret my career in the nonprofit sector, and genuinely feel that we did some real good. It would be nice however, to be able to afford groceries and other things now. Just saying.

A spider’s web crafted by my back door here in Olympia, Washington. I’m appreciating the drops of rain hanging off of each web strand. Lovely piece, and a thank you to the spider who wove it.

As an old white man, I say with earned confidence - I would dearly appreciate seeing old white men swept away into the dustbin of history. Can someone else please take the damn reins - because we seem to be intent on riding the horse of civilization right off the cliff of history and into ruin.

Yeah, yeah - I know I’ll probably catch some flak for this, but is anyone else here old enough to remember back in the days when if you needed affordable food, you could just go down and buy it at your local grocery store?

When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination. A closed book is a closed mind. Don't ever stop reading.

Right. Since my brain decided to pull up a cartoon I watched as a kid (and didn’t really like very much) and endlessly loop its theme song, I decided to play along this time and post a picture. Here you go brain. Now, out of curiosity, what exactly are you trying to tell me? Are you hurt, boy?!

My Grandfather Gus had the privilege of “debating” with fascists at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. His version of “punching Nazis” was a fixed bayonet on his M1 Garand battle rifle. His service for the Antifa (anti-fascist) cause earned him a Silver Star and my childhood adoration. 🫡♥️

I have made a supreme effort for the last couple of years not to engage with my Dad on his cult following of Trump. His steady diet of Fox propaganda finally left me with no room to maneuver. 💔 While I managed to salvage the phone call, I need some fresh air, sunshine and a long ride on my bike.

Good morning, fellow taxpaying Americans! Turns out our tax dollars, are going to fund even more Genocidal horror and terror for civilians trying to survive in Gaza. 40,000 Mark 84 2,000 pound bombs with a multibillion dollar price tag on the way to Israel. Stir that thought into your coffee.

The US Mark 84 general purpose bomb. With the destructive power to level an entire city block. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, especially for kids these days!

It’s insane that people in Congress are paid over $174K a year in taxpayer dollars whilst making millions of dollars from insider trading whilst getting 18 vacations a year as Americans all over the country struggle to pay for rent, gas and groceries.
