banned books - Beloved



Toni Morrison

This is a series of banned books, e-published by the American Library Association. (www.ala.org)  I neither endorse nor criticize the books; I do suggest that you READ.  archive.org will lend you the e-book an hour at a time.


Livin' in Connecticut - Montville

 


Montville, CT

Well, this is a change of pace.  I'm not forgoing the trains; they are still an important piece.  But  I found out that Gov. J. B. Pritzker of Illinois stopped the "shielding" of various libraries.  Now, when we think of libraries, we don't automatically think of items of great importance.  But think of it - whether from Chicago or Prairie du Rocher, Illinoisans have an equal chance of information - including transgender folks.    And it's free!  Now from Bridgeport to Bridgewater, we have a chance to do the same.  If you live in Connecticut, urge your legislators to do likewise.  If you live outside of Connecticut, but have friends from Connecticut, urge them to join this fight.  Thanks.

Building something good and right (video)



ezs note:  I ran across Rev. Ed Trevors and got a breath of fresh air.  Most of what passes off as 'Christianity' is pure crap.  We may not see every line side to side (he is a [real] Christian, I am a Baha'i), but, geez, this guy is good. I'll do my bit to promote him.

By the way, if you're free on Saturday nights, Ed broadcasts live on most Saturday nights at 7:30 pm (Eastern time).  Look for :
