Eclectic minimalist writer, editor and activist. I know things, and am trying to become more skilled at knowing people. #BookSky #Urbanism+ #cats #science #cats
WATCH OUT For crypto schemes pretending to want your friendship. I just had an awful entanglement with one posing as an oh, so nice person. I gave them nothing of value to them -- there's no way I ever would. But they tried gaslighting and clogging up my chat. BEWARE.

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.

I still love browsing my 1975 and '78 People's Almanacs -- fun and very poignant. But prescient? They asked 5 "psychics" in '75 to give predictions, with what year they'd happen. With hindsight on my side, and - even grading flexibly -- I gave them a 2.5 percent success rate. #booksky #history

The Unsettling of America -- This 1977 book by the underrated environmentalist and social critic Wendell Berry shows how the environmental, economic and energy crises are part of a wider "crisis of character." Berry foresaw today's calamities with remarkable prescience. #booksky

Millions and millions of Americans, if this bill passes the Senate, will discover that it's not "they," who are losing out. "We" are.
