In books: Fady Joudah, a Palestinian American and an internal medicine physician at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, has released a powerful literary survey of Palestine that charts complicity and erasure with medical precision.

texasobserver.orgβ€˜After the Genocide, the Genocide’: A Houston Doctor’s Record of GazaFady Joudah’s latest work, β€œExhibit G,” charts complicity and erasure with medical precision.

At the end of Simon and Garfunkel’s β€œThe Boxer” while the vocals repeat β€œlie la lie” they gradually add more strings to a crescendoing climax. On the final refrain, a layer of middle strings is added that completes an incredibly beautiful harmony of sound that is euphoric. Listen with headphones

I spent an afternoon with Loyd Powell and Robert Conn, who run the Heart of Leather Foundation in Houston. Their dream is to open a museum of LGBTQ history. Until then, they have over 35,000 artifacts sitting in storage, and they let me see them: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Haven’t fished or kayaked in three years (because of a fucked up shoulder) so I’m gonna need my body to cooperate for this trip. I’ve been wanting to salt water kayak for over 20 years and it might finally happen

Slavery was and is a real thing that has brutalized hundreds of millions of people over the course of human history, if someone tells me a fucking chatbot is enslaved I'm immediately throwing hands. It's not cute, it's not intriguing, it's an insult to real people who suffered and suffer now.
