Friday Links!


All the books are in order. I am (almost) caught up on my laundry. The chimney is fixed (finally). Now all I have to do is vacuum and I'll have nothing to do but write. Is this my beautiful house? Is this my beautiful life?

Have some links!

This essay by Rebecca Solnit on Trump is brilliant. Longish, but well worth the read.

I just realized I never told you about our chimney -- that little basket-hat that sits on the top blew off during the most recent giant storm we had here (a tornado warning that we just slept through). Without the basket-hat, birds and other animals can come down your chimney and then get stuck there, in your fireplace.

With us, it was just birds, one bird after the next, sometimes two at once. Then we'd have to open the glass door that covers the fireplace when you're not using and rescue the birds, always a fraught process. But (at least this time!) all the birds were okay.

[The first year this happened, a bird got stuck in there and didn't make any noise. We didn't discover it until it was dead :( ]
