A few words

Fresh malinformation

Blow blow “My teaching experience went fairly well; and I was never arrested.”
Socialism is a hate crime “They were blackguards and thugs one and all, which is the key trait needed to rise to the top in a movement in which power goes to those willing to use extreme measures for the sake of ‘progress.'”
A gem of a botanical garden “Great gardens don’t just happen.”
Here’s to being weird “I see the world as enchanted (though that enchantment is largely vanished from sight, subsumed by modernity and the machine).”
The Obligation to Beauty “Beauty was the form truth took when it entered the world.”
