Every time I walk into a library, I’m reminded what public money is supposed to do.
Chairs you don’t have to earn. Heat you don’t have to justify. Time you don’t have to explain.
Kids finishing homework. Someone fixing a resume. Older people reading the paper without being rushed.
Nobody is asked why they’re there.
If someone wants to know what a society looks like when it still works, this is it.Matt Lillywhite
make no mistake that our peace and groundedness are weapons against intentional chaos. our ability to organize with clear-minds is a weapon against collective harm.

I recently began reading “The Journalist and the Murderer” (163 pages, 1990) by Janet Malcolm. Initially, based on its cover, I anticipated a lighthearted murder mystery; however, I soon recognized that additional context was necessary to fully appreciate the work.
Upon further investigation, I discovered the book is a true crime account centered on Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, a Green Beret captain convicted of murdering his wife and two daughters in 1970. The narrative examines journalistic ethics via the libel suit involving MacDonald and author Joe McGinniss, highlighting the complex and often exploitative dynamics between journalists and their subjects. Given my limited familiarity with the MacDonald case and current disinterest in such a serious topic, I chose not to continue reading and subsequently placed my copy in a local Little Free Library.
Nonetheless, I remain interested in others’ perspectives regarding the book. Has anyone else read it? I would welcome feedback about whether you found it worthwhile.
