Theater-lover with an awesome theater-major young adult. Humans are interesting. She/her

A tuxedo cat curled intoa very relaxed pose atop a pile of differently colored cushions stacked from largest to smallest on a sofa.
A tuxedo cat lies lazily half on her back on a window shelf. The morning sun beams on her and a shadow of part of the window falls across her flank.
A screencap of an e-book version of Edward Abbey's Desert Solitaire. Some parts are highlighted for the app to bookmark the passage. "A familiar and plaintive admonition; I would like to introduce here an entirely new argument in what has now become a stylized debate: the wilderness should be preserved for political reasons. We may need it someday not only as a refuge from excessive industrialism but also as a refuge from authoritarian government, from political oppression. Grand Canyon, Big Bend, Yellowstone and the High Sierras may be required to function as bases for guerrilla warfare against tyranny. What reason have we Americans to think that our own society will necessarily escape the world-wide drift toward the totalitarian organization of men and institutions? This may seem, at the moment, like a fantastic thesis. Yet history demonstrates that personal liberty is a rare and precious thing, that all societies tend toward the absolute until attack from without or collapse from within breaks up the social machine and makes freedom and innovation again possible." -Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
