I don’t understand email. How do I know which email service to choose? Won’t I be stuck only communicating with people on the same server? How will people find me? What if I don’t like my service and have to change my email address? Or if my service goes out of business? Why do some email providers charge money and others are free? Will I get ads in my email? It’s all so confusing. Why don’t we all agree on one giant email server that we all use that is secure and benevolent and free?

In the first of what will be many similar decisions, a Federal judge declared the Tennessee ban on “male and female impersonation” to be an unconstitutional infringement on freedom of speech.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate Eos, the 30th-century-BCE Proto-Indo-European goddess of the dawn, personified as the 8th CE. West Germanic spring goddess Ēostre who, accompanied by hares, brought new life out of winter into spring (e.g. bird eggs) and who gave name to the month of Ēosturmōnaþ (April), which coincided with the Jewish Pesach observance, which provided both a lunisolar calendrical and metaphorical anchor for the resurrection of Jesus.
