What a great piece to read! Amazing to look back on the teachers who've truly shaped our lives.

Interesting read about a scholar I'd not previously heard of.

I totally sympathize with your desire to pivot to mainly writing about nature. After the 2020 election, I naively thought I could revert to posting about pleasant things like king cakes and samba parades.

But if you're a thinking person (and you clearly are) it is impossible to fully escape "political" themes on occasion 😱

We got a great king cake from Tartine, sent by a good friend. Highly recommend it. It will be impossible to write about nature and ignore politics, and I don't plan on doing so. We don't have freedom of speech in the private sector, so I will be choosing my words carefully.

Your former professor has quite the biography, Thomas!
