The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Hell of a week; most Friday feeling Wednesday ever.

"I would not be here today if it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me. I have stood on their shoulders."
