Pluto has suggested (and I agree) that there was a discussion started by Marie regarding the 2025 elections that is worthy of continuing. So, I am going to post here a link to the comment that started the thread and if folks feel like continuing the discussion, well, have at it.
If the discussion continues after it slides down the list a bit, I will pin it up at the top until it looks to be concluded.
For today's open thread, we'll be looking at the world through the eyes of one of my favorite authors:
Barry Lopez, in full Barry Holstun Lopez, (born January 6, 1945, Port Chester, New York, U.S.), American writer best known for his books on natural history and the environment. In such works as Of Wolves and Men (1978) and Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape (1986; National Book Award), Lopez employs natural history as a metaphor for wider moral issues.
Lopez also has a special place in my heart because my alma mater, Texas Tech University, has designated him their first scholar in residence. In that role, Barry spoke in Lubbock about the modern writer's social responsibilities.
Hey everybody!
Nice list of people online right now. Glad to be hanging out with you all. I am looking forward to something good coming from this group of people.
This is a rough cut from a project I am currently working on.
JayRaye, I copy/pasted your last diary from DKos using the Easy Copy extension and this is how it laid out.
