@natematias Much deserved.
@lukemperez <3
@ayjay BIG congrats, Alan! Looking forward to this.
@overholt Loved this.
@tinyroofnail Beautiful. And I thought it might be on-brand for TRN sensibilities…
@bryan Great photos!
@dwalbert spring!!
@jabel Yep. Entire conferences, year after year, devoted to arriving at the mushy oatmeal conclusion that “important questions remain.”
@bjhess It was. And as beautiful as advertised.
@val Thank you!
@jabel So good.
@mwerickson My expectations were high, and it was absolutely sublime. We’re here before the major tourism season, so it wasn’t super crowded, but if doing it again I’d book a ticket for the earliest entry and arrive right on time, walk it in as much quiet as possible.
@tinyroofnail The last Crawford installment in the vitalism series is also terrific — on Ratzinger’s Intro to Christianity.
@jonah Yeah — I think it’s perhaps especially for cities where most people live alone or without children? There’s more slow community in small towns (if they have downtowns, maybe), and kids make for instant neighbors if you have parks, etc. But the number of kids in my city has plummeted, so—.
@ayjay Ha, yeah — I get it. I’m also an introvert. I think it’s telling that this is in the heart of San Francisco; many US neighborhoods have this kind of social glue on a more modest scale, right? Though modest shoring-up is surely needed everywhere…mostly eager to show my students.
@vazquez Thank you!
@ayjay Thank you, friend! More cutting and recutting since the version you saw — good feedback from you and a few others. Pleased about it.
@natematias Beautiful! <3
@dwalbert It was — that list helped us get pretty quickly to the larger malaise of modernity by means of environmentalism. And somehow it’s an oblique way for them to consider the sacred cows of the zeitgeist: limitless choice, endless growth, etc.
@mwerickson It’s a class on design + architecture criticism, broadly conceived, mainly for architects-in-training. This week was on the subject of rural spaces; they read Berry’s “The Necessity of Agriculture” and this interview with his list of “agrarian values.” Excellent conversation starter!

@tinyroofnail Oh, excellent! Ch 2 is a wonder of synthesis, I think. Lmk how you find it?
@tinyroofnail timely. thanks.
