Ah, soiled, defiled, oppressing city! It has listened to no voice; it has accepted no correction. It has not trusted in the Lord; it has not drawn near to its God. The officials within it are roaring lions; its judges are evening wolves that leave nothing until the morning.

if Lizza's accusations are true, she was involved in a plot to elect a fascist crank to office and destroy public health in the US. said plot involving lying to readers, betraying sources, keeping literal life-or-death info from the public, and possibly criminal activity.

Update: the laptop, at least, appears to be consenting to function. For now.
Things that have happened since Saturday:
- the church database on my laptop literally stopped working AS I was using it
- the laptop also stopped recognizing the printer
- the tire change and annual maintenance on my car took ten times as long and cost three times as much as I had planned for

This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

The adaptation of Joanna Trollope's PARSON HARDING'S DAUGHTER that I started trying to write when I was like 19.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Why am I suddenly afflicted with tights-leggings-and-underwear-fall-down-itis
The only reason I am not seriously considering going back to 80s style bodysuits with snaps is that then the underwear would just continue to fall down on either side of the crotch part and would be even harder to adjust

Reskeeting this because it's pertinent to Sunday's sermon, pol
Great talk among people how some of the Fanatiques do say that the end of the world is at hand, and that next Tuesday is to be the day. Against which, whenever it shall be, good God fit us all.
