there's an introduction to being Episcopalian/Anglican where a bishop recounts a story of his small child proudly showing off their Pilgrim costume and bishop jokingly asks 'why are you dressed as the enemy?'

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

we really need charming threads right now, and this is one. Delightful. Happy Thanksgiving!
OK - pie discourse - best pie story:
In 2016, we were living in Andover, in the UK. My wife was assigned as an exchange officer at the Army Air Corps base at Middle Wallop (yes, really).*
The US Army has a tradition: senior leaders, in dress uniform, serve junior troops Thanksgiving dinner.

the state of my writing day:
closer to finishing a draft of a short story that i'd outlined, but part of outline fell apart, & so now the story aside from the narrative is full of notes:
(go back and put detail in earlier)
(move this scene up earlier so it makes sense)
(merge these two people) /1

I love HEB (very well run TX grocery chain). With 20,000+ people under a boil water notice they've got pallets of water right at the front (they did have to shut down their seafood section--no ice). Whether a local issue like this or a major hurricane response they are ON IT

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.

I still think about this sometimes, and wonder how many of the 12 books the friend liked.
A customer just came into the shop and bought 12 books for her friend’s birthday. She’s going to wrap them individually and write a different month of the year on each one, so her friend has a new book to read every month until her next birthday. And I think that’s just the most thoughtful gift.
