I’d like to thank my grandmother Avis Stovall for telling my mother Judy she could not quit nursing school. That story helped me be steadfast in certain things in my life, this podcast being one. I am grateful for all souls of peace. That is all of us. Every one. Peace and love,
Avis

Written by a human today: Hi friends, I was curious about how the weapons of war lined up with the weapons of agriculture so I made a little podcast series about it. It’s called The Great Disfarmament - The Great Disarmament.

A lovely evening for outdoor Shakespeare in Pony, Montana. We were early and caught the surprise quartet (with harp!) playing before hand. Teo was a good dog.

Today’s podcast excerpt might be the most meaningful part of Mono Mutante for me—it’s humorous, heartfelt, and woven with the questions I’ve carried for a long time.

What if hope itself were illegal?
That’s the charge from the Bureau for Imaginative Compliance in today’s satire bulletin—apparently I’ve been caught “inciting optimism without a license.” Guilty as charged.
