Random fact: Newton was born the year that Galileo died (1642 BCE).

At Noether’s memorial in 1935, mathematician Hermann Weyl said, "She was not clay, pressed by the artistic hands of God into a harmonious form, but rather a chunk of human primary rock into which he had blown his creative breath of life."

I can never recall a book by its name, only by what the cover looks like

a wall of books with a large tv screen within it showing the nascar race. in foreground a smaller screen with the oscar’s pre show on it.

Luckily, this race will end before the WBC semi-final begins; won’t need to out grab a screen.

Folks, 📅 2026 primaries are coming up fast.

Check your state’s date.
Make sure you’re registered.
Make a plan to vote.

Too much is riding on people sitting this one out. Stay ready so nobody decides the future for you.

And it appears to be scripted. Like, whoever wrote it, did they say,“Here, this is a good one!”

"In Universes" is great for folks whose commonality is the workplace; there's real substance to it yet nothing that might push folks to get personal.

That's why I didn't rec PNW'r Lidia Yuknavitch's AMAZING "Chronology of Water" - a definite must-read, tho a bit too raw for workplace relations IMO.

And then I walk up this morning remembering the _absolutely perfect_ (fiction) book for an LGBTQ workplace book club - great for discussions - and I believe the author lived in the PNW at some point?

In Universes by Emet North

ummmmm, oooops, none are PNW authors, but any would be great for the first read of yer LGBTQ workplace book club😬
