Mark, John and I are sitting outside in Old Quebec City having an incredible brunch. On our long roadtrip the first book we listened to was Snyder’s On Tyranny. I missed the Social Work’s Board of Advocates meeting this weekend, which may have helped my mental health. My grandfather graduated from BU in 1903, but an uncle left (after helping to start the Nose Brothers) to go to Rice as he saw Baylor was too conservative. Our hearts break for these LBTQ+ students, the loss of academic freedom, and the small thinking of God’s work in the world. Thank you.

BTW, my grandfather was in school with J Frank Norris, and disagreed strongly with him. I’ve thought for years that JFN won, now more than ever.
