Rhyd, I have been reading your blog and books for, well, whatever years that is, glad to discover another one whose home looks somewhat like mine....I mean, my decade-plus bf and I go out for Valentine's dinner tonight....and I am feeling particularly joyful to wish you a very lively birthday amidst the forests of your home. Gratitude for your thoughts and for all the others who have pitched in with their writings and images through your publishing company.

Happy trip around sun, Rhyd. You offer encouragement for those of us in the US contending with the "ineffectual American left."

Happy Birthday! I would imagine that being politically 'left' in the US probably means being 'left out', although it's getting a bit like that here in the UK too unfortunately.....

It was not fun to be left in the US. Yes, “left out” is a good description.

You and my son share the same birthday, so now I will remember one my favorite substack writer's birthdate. How fitting!

You're writing brings a dimension in which I yearn for what with the weaving of personal, political, historical, and spiritual fibers throughout. I look forward to reading your books. Thank you, Rhyd, for your continued gifts to us readers!
