No, seriously, they love that shit. It "proves" to them that they're doing THE LORD's will. Because the original followers of Jesus were persecuted, see, so if modern "Christians" are persecuted, it's the same thing!

I know an excellent big cat sanctuary if they're really committed to the whole early Christian martyr thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Welcome to my corner, Karl.

I met Ms. Le Guin once, at a small literary convention in Sunnyvale. I was able to tell her how her books got me through the period when my folks got divorced. She heard me, and took my hand.

I got so much more than some other people did. But goddammit, this really, really hurts.

Aw, Karl.

I never met her, but my sister corresponded with her about her translation of the I Ching and she seemed like a lovely person from that little exposure. Love so many of her books, of course.

I saw her speak once, in 1990 or so, and had her sign something, and she was so great.

I have a copy of Always Coming Home somewhere around here...

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heard back from the Principal:

Hello David,

I have reached out to the legal department and am awaiting a response. In the meantime, I met with Mr. [bad guy] and Ms. {___} Asst. Principal and we have blocked Mr. [bad guy] from subbing at the school and any duties related to athletics. We also spoke with Mr. [regular teacher who co-signed letter] and directed him to have no further involvement with the organization.

I will follow up when I hear from the legal department.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Respectfully,

[Principal]

I didn't know she'd translated the I Ching. I should find a copy.

That's a heartening response, David. Glad they're taking this seriously.

Sorry, not the I Ching, Tao Te Ching I get those confused.

Way to go, Hec.
