Some beautiful writing on the radical generosity of a library.
"Implicit in the bargain was permission to do with that time whatever the kid saw fit. No educational goal had to be attained. Nothing had to be learned... The exchange itself carried value for having happened. It taught that kid a lesson in the nature of generosity."
On the Infinite Lives of the Library

This is not what they actually say. This is what they used to say, in the long ago before times when Shaheen learned to do politics. There is no kumbaya median voter anymore. The question you get knocking doors is not "why can't you all just work together?" it's "why didn't / will you fight harder?
Shaheen: "When I talk to my constituents in New Hampshire, you know what they say to me? They say, 'Why can't you all just work together to address the problems that are facing this country?'"

“30-40+ inches of *additional* rain”
Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

200 years ago this coming weekend, the Erie Canal opened. That moment was the culmination of a great deal of debate & planning & construction, & also--like the waterway it inaugurated--opens up to a number of fascinating AmericanStudies contexts, from the Early Republic & across our history. 🗃️
