For Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, I wanted to share some links to reading material.

- I Have A Dream Speech full text and audio (https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkihaveadream.htm)
- Letter from a Birmingham Jail full text (https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html)
- A Time to Break Silence (https://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/mlkatimetobreaksilence.htm) - I read this speech for the first time last year, and have been thinking about it ever since.

"We are called to speak for the weak, for the voiceless, for the victims of our nation and for those it calls "enemy," for no document from human hands can make these humans any less our brothers."

Martin Luther King, Jr: A Time to Break Silence

@liztai I've been wary about giving personal details and photos of my kids to Facebook for a while now, but there are edge relatives and in-laws and whatnot that I want to let have updates. I tried posting links to my own photo site a few times. Finally, I'm starting an email mailing list for a family newsletter. I'll email them those personal details like in the 1990s.

I’ve finished Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

Currently Reading: The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle Book 2) by Ursula K. Le Guin

@luis_in_brief @clacke @jhpot I would be surprised if most of the people in question had read the books.

This is a favorite quote of mine, which helps remind me not to disparage younger generations. It's from Anne's House of Dreams(1917).

*Mrs. Rachel complains about Eaton's Catalogue*

"Well, they're splendid to amuse children with," said Diana. "Fred and Small Anne look at the pictures by the hour."

"I amused ten children without the aid of Eaton's catalogue," said Mrs. Rachel severely.
