If you’re new here, the Pages in the sidebar are not links to websites, but rather to selected articles we’ve collected from these publications over the years. In essence, they constitute our treasure trove, the cream of the crop, the best of the best. So do browse at your leisure, and let us know what you think.
New Stuff
We’ve added several items and pages over the summer, so if you haven’t browsed them in a while, it might be worth your time. Of particular note, we perused the recently refurbished Public Good Project website for classics and posted some here.
We also want to encourage our readers to pass along their own discoveries; we learn by sharing.
Negotiating Dominion
Negotiating with the farce and force of White Christian Dominion today—as it has for five centuries—requires navigating many dimensions simultaneously. Steeped in American mythology, we may just be too close to the megaphonic monster to tell heads from tails.
In an effort to provide some useful perspectives in charting a less destructive and dangerous course, we’ve selected the best articles we could find by our esteemed colleagues and organized them by source in the sidebar.
Since these points of view often surmount artificial barriers of categorizing, we’ve decided it wouldn’t behoove us to attempt to do so. We assume if you’ve made it this far, you can probably figure that out for yourself.
What Do You Hope For?
We live in a diminished world; cultures, languages, species, and peoples have been extinguished. More will be extirpated in our lifetimes.
Yet, life goes on. People still struggle to create community amidst the destruction. The young still hope, the old still remember, the valiant still fight for equality—among other things.
Is there hope we can restore salmon runs in the Bronx? Probably not. Is there hope we can redirect our treasuries from wanton killing into more healthy initiatives? Sure.
Living Life Well
The Bergs of Halibut Cove say, “We’re living life as festival, just like in the book by Jay Taber.”

Lots of good stuff here—take a look around, make yourself at home.
