I loved this site anyway. Now they’ve published the work of one of my students! Love ’em more. (This was a great assignment for my history course during the pandemic.)

MR had turned me onto this book many years ago. These frames capture much of the noise in my mind and are also why I exercise.

This quote:
Asking certain people to stay home for the sake of society is absurd, because these are people society has never cared about. ‘‘Stay home so people won’t die’’ is a hell of a thing to say to those who are dying of hunger. I keep thinking about floods, and how only after the waters recede do the bodies of the drowned become visible.
Building things Right
I loved this book. Some quotes I’ll churn on in the coming years:
Ole Thorstensen and Seán Kinsella, Making Things Right: A Master Carpenter at Work, (London: McMillan, 2018.)
