About 14 mo ago, a documentary film crew spent about 6 hr here at Pilgrim Place (our #intentionalcommunity), interviewing John and me. It was uncertain how the material would be used. As time passed, the whole episode receded from foreground to background, all but forgotten.

Juneteenth is Thursday. What a privilege, that Michal Dawson Connor will be here at Pilgrim Place for our observance at our weekly Gathering (7:00-7:30PM). Michal will offer an abridged version of "The Slave Letters"—spirituals alternating with letters written by enslaved persons.

Yesterday after leading #Qigong in #SilverLake, my first go at #MilpaGrill in #BoyleHeights. Except it was actually #Macheen. Y'see, it's a #collective! Weekdays, #Milpa; weekends, #Macheen. And #CafeCafe is there (every day?) alongside.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

#classicalmusic #opera Another interesting post where I learned surprising information! "Craig Y Nos" sounds like it could be a great villain in a James Bond novel. And "private theatres"?! Blimey! 🎵
🎭 Soprano Adelina Patti was born on this day in 1843
She gives her name to a wonderful theatre in Craig Y Nos, which was added to an existing neo-gothic building by the singer and her husband
It is the most ambitious of the UK's few private theatres
