Hello, thank you for assembling a delightful batch of subjects. I particularly enjoyed the idea of a wool sommelier, who can choose a wool based on how well the farmer looked after the sheep, the environment in which they lived and the additional aspects of the wool determined by certain aspects of what they eat. I hate the idea that the price of wool does not even cover the cost of the shearing. The history of England was determined by wool and a sack of wool (The Woolsack) is kept under the seat of the leader of the British House of Lords (equivalent of the US Senate but with 250 active members out of over 800 people entitled to attend).
In the 1980s, on my honeymoon, we spent three days on a Merino wool Farm outside of Melbourne Australia. We stayed in The Farmhouse with the family that raised sheep who talked about the whole process of collecting wool and demonstrated a sheep shearing for us. I held one day old lamb and then it tried to follow me as I left the field. I remembered that the kids in the family were so excited about the movie Crocodile Dundee that was coming to the USA. A golden experience!
I'm reporting you for vile conduct, harassment and censorship. Why are you censoring Mosab Abu Toha? He is the winner of an American Book Award for his poetry. He has also been a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award for his poetry. And he has won a Pulitzer Prize for his commentary on Gaza in The New Yorker. I read his notes. There is nothing in them that would justify you censoring him. Do you seriously believe that if you de-platform him here that you're going going to cover up the evil being perpetrated by Israel in Gaza? Keep dreaming.
Dear Ajit, many of us want ONLY peace in the world, so families can live a normal life, loving each other, finding joy in their children!!! I weep for your people and all the terrible destruction in so many places!!!
Lovely curation as ever, thank you. Really serendipitous as I begin preparing some pizza dough for tonight's dinner! If you get the chance would love a shout out in a future newsletter to my new Substack Slow AI: https://theslowai.substack.com 🙏
Check out this rich & thought-provoking post about honoring the enduring connection with a loved one who has died. Another beautiful post from a new Substack called Wild Words for Grief!

Why did you ban a Palestinian poet? Awaiting your response because I’m here for freedom of speech and not censorship.
