It’s waving to me tonight! 🧡
Some weeks ago I was reading Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aloud at bed-time to my son, who of course does not understand it but appreciates the sound of the words all the same, when I discovered that its famous title was in fact not the original! The original title was significantly more radical: "Resistance to Civil Government."
It's quite short, and I would encourage everyone here to read (or re-read) it. It is still tremendously relevant. Re-reading it with the original (un-sanitized) title in mind, it lands even harder.
These days, Thoreau would probably get his door kicked in.

This book is amazing and also read it to my kids. They will understand it someday as they become older.
Also nice to see the old accounts are coming back! I knew that sooner or later this is gonna happen 🤙 https://nostr.build/av/f3c618a9665933c64ab8b4dedd7a13e398057a62e0b17831d469914340e4a8b3.mov
