No matter what you eat for the holidays, please never:
- comment on how much someone is eating
- comment on how little someone is eating
- comment on someone eating
This can be a major trigger for people with eating disorders. Plus it’s none of your business. Thanks!

The smartest thing a politician can do in 2026 is to come up with a bold plan for shoring up and EXPANDING public libraries. Call it Project 2050. It's a way to reintroduce the grammar of commoning and the commons to a new generation in a way they can easily grasp. Such low hanging fruit.

Yay for Dartmouth! New Hampshire shows it really means “live free or die.”
It appears that my employer, Dartmouth, one of the Trump 9, has said no to the compact. All the better given that our president is cited within it. But she’s saying no. Count the small victories when they come.
