Crabgrass Frontier (perhaps oddly, the most self-radicalizing book I've yet read), and Mason & Dixon (carefully delineating the bounds of my pretentiousness).
alright let’s get something more pleasant going. what two books would you leave out on your coffee table so a reporter can mention you have them. doesn’t matter if you’ve read them. for me it’s Pale Fire (which I did read) and Ulysses (got like 15% of the way in)

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)
Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

We are spoiled here in California to share our space with these gorgeous creatures - Red-shouldered Hawk 🪶. The form in California is particularly elegant - so much so it's been considered a possible split as Elegant Hawk (Buteo elegans). This one was especially unconcerned with my presence.
