9/10 — haunting…

9/10 — swear filter test: **** child marriage

10/10 — you go out, and you come home. that is the entire feeling.

9/10 — Indeed, there may be no other single person in history who did as much damage to human health and the planet, all with the best of intentions as an inventor.

5/10 — it is possible to blame trump for the screw flies returning. maybe a stretch, but cutting funding to science has its ramifications.

9/10 — You tell me whar a man gits his corn pone, en I'll tell you what his 'pinions is. An essay on conformity. I felt this one deeply. I am a product of my environment. of the people around me. is this so bad? its in our nature. Am I that predictable? Are my opinions a reflection of where I get my corn bread? It doesn't feel that way.

9/10 — I always yearned for the hunter/gatherer lifestyle and this article made me feel so justified. we shoulda never started farming. we peaked at gardens.

7/10 — Starting with something simple, but beautiful. The art of noticing. The toad. This introduction leads beautifully into an ode to spring.

6/10 — putin is a bad guy.

7/10 — Obviously the donkeys should stay.

8/10 — Someones gotta bring back nature. I wish we could do this everywhere. A valiant effort. Perhaps a bit unrealistic.

10/10 — the rest of the world moves while the midwest remains still. i love this essay. written by a regular old midwesterner who puts the feeling of the place into words. AI? self driving cars? They can't even get service south of van buren. the midwest does not get caught up in the excitement of the future. When you live in proximity to your family, it is impossible to forget that you will grow old and die. the mass baptism at the end really forced me to broaden my horizon. could i be happy if the best thing going on was the local baptism? my lifestyle would make this author physically cringe and yet its so refreshing to hear this perspective.

9/10 — i met a man who was soon to die. the guilty ones always cry. jason draws out the final hours of this mans life into a dark illustration of the brutality of the war in iraq.
