…so I’m planning to spend the month of June offline. I’m packing up the laptop and the cable modem and sending them someplace far away. I’m going back to the world of paper and books.

i dislike some of his language (painting this idea that the public was unaware of CAFO nightmares because of lack of transparency from farms rather than simply willful ignorance - sorry, but all of this information was available already to the...

some less neat things:
-i woke up late and had to pack bread, just bread, and some butter, for lunch and breakfast. i was hungry a lot of the day.
-it was nice in the morning but started raining in the midst of my post-work ride from pier 39 to UCSF. i was late.

-i...
