Whew. Judge Biery (Clinton appointee) is not messing around, dropping on the feds the Magna Carta, the Declaration of Independence, the Fourth Amendment, Ben Franklin, and the Bible.

Yes, I read it years (decades?) ago, but I recall it as an excruciating portrait of a person's unbearable (and extremely destructive) inner torment.

In a different way, A Fine Balance had me shaking my partner and saying "you would not believe what these people went through. "

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

Tumblr post from every-lemon 
Sep 8

so my spouse is part of a weirdly intense but mostly benign men's workout group that meets at like, 5:30am outside every day, even in winter. they do a lot of burpees and lugging cinder blocks up hills and stuff.
they take turns leading the workouts and tomorrow is his turn. I asked what he was planning. he handed me a sheet of William Carlos William poems from a large stack he'd printed.
I said "what" and he explained, helpfully, "it's a William Carlos William themed workout." I asked what inspired it and he said "l've been planning this for months."

it was a smash hit.
a dozen guys showed up (more than usual). spouse brought a red wheelbarrow and they took turns bringing cinder blocks up the hill with it. then they broke up in teams and did a relay with an "icebox" (cooler filled with 40lbs of ice). at the end he opened the cooler to reveal it was full of beach plum lacroix and all the guys cheered. they drank sparkling water as he read 'approach of winter' out loud.
he was home by 6:30am.

I had a sister who died of pediatric brain cancer. In our family of six, this meant six destroyed lives. Permanent devastation.

You can make them VERY uncomfortable by sitting, standing or walking right beside them. Look right at them. Make it clear that you are listening to what should be an indoor, private conversation. An effective deterent, but the drawback is that the dialogue is always banal.
