MATTERS OF CONSCIENCE

RBG
First Reformed

Watching RBG will make you proud to be living in the same era as Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Miles David Moore

SOME SUMMER READING
One of the many things that make the white power world frightening
is how easily it maps onto and has roots in the violent origin story
of the United States.
Michael Bettencourt

THE TROUBLE WITH HARRY
No scientist to date has ever proved that the species Actorus Necessarus exists or has ever existed. There is no fossil record and Charles Darwin blatantly ignored the rumor and myth of this lost mammalian link.
Arthur Meiselman

PAUSING
At 10:30, I took my half a dropper full of THC and glass of milk;
I'm praying I didn't overdose—it says in tiny tiny little letters
have with food and lots of water.
Claudine Jones

TWO KIDS STARTING OUT
Sadly, when something starts to get competitive, my blood rises, and I get
a little manic. In the end I spent a little more than I’d first thought I
would, but not too much more.
Nathan Thomas

LEARNING FROM THE MOVIES
My pal Jon Luff would never claim to be a bigger fan of baseball than me,
but he has taken his appreciation of the movie Moneyball, the adaptation
of the 2003 Michael Lewis best-seller, further than I ever did.
Patrick Walsh

WHY SHOULD THE DEVIL HAVE ALL THE GOOD MUSIC?
Larry Norman, even 10 years after his death, is still a revered figure
in the larger pop/rock music world influencing groups/artists such as
U2, the Pixies, John Mellencamp and Guns & Roses.
Les Marcott

	OUR LADY OF THE LEAVES ... TOM SWIFTY FOUND IN AN OLD BOX The Art of David Wiley

A WRITER’S WRITER, ON WRITING
All the male and female “practicing pros” in the audience weren’t practicing on a level
playing field at all. And while she was ostensibly speaking only about the challenges of her
own, impressive writing career, she was also speaking for virtually all the women in the
room, and to virtually all the men in the room.
Harriet Halliday Renaud

CHILDREN’S TOYS
Whether or not children’s toys portend the architecture of the future, they do have a futuristic,
even alien, aura about them. If only someone could figure out how to keep these things from
talking when they should be silent.
David Wiley

CONVERSATIONS SELDOM OVERHEARD Rain
What are you talking about? I don't remember you anymore. I don't remember what you look
like. I can't see you here, now. I don't want to see you. I don't want you to see me, here, now.
Arthur Meiselman
