Things are weird and unpleasant in the news! I like to counterprogram my brain and looking at / processing photos does that for me, so hey, here are four photos of mine from my trip to Portugal. Please to enjoy. Or don't. I'm not your boss. I was, but they fired me for stealing office supplies.

Just muted ‘Vance’ (sigh)

Been reflecting a lot on one tiny article W.E.B DuBois wrote about the 1922 execution of Luther Boddy who got the death sentence for killing two police. It's one of the more poignant articulations of how an unfair society and militarism creates Luther Boddys for the purpose of elimination.

If you see this post, post or quote post with a tree or a tree-lined path from your photos.
