Hi Spectator Books,

Thanks so much for your email as well.

I'm hoping Harbin Hot Springs (which just re-opened in Jan 2019, after fire of Sept 2015 ), when its bookstore is up and running, will carry especially my book -
"Naked Harbin Ethnography: Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" with its ~180 photos, which retails for $64.95 in paper. Since you're no longer doing consignment, and since I live close by, if you'd ever like to carry this book, I could bring some copies over to you at a later date (and at a cost below what I think you'd get online, but I'd just need a few extra days). A main idea of "Naked Harbin Ethnography" and for my next related Harbin ethnographic project is to create a realistic virtual Harbin in something like Google Street View with time slider for virtual visiting there ~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~

Same with "Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" book of poetry, which retails for 9.99.

And also with "Haiku~ish: and Other, Loving, Hippy, Harbin Poetry" which lists for $5.50, which is charming, beautiful, short and sweet.

All are published by the startup Academic Press at World University and School (where World Univ & Sch seeks to become the Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Oxbridge of the Internet, press-wise too).

Looking forward to being in touch.

Best wishes, Scott

Here's a little information about my book: 'Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss' wonderfully revisits the traveling to the Rainbow Gathering in national parks ... and the visiting and soaking in Harbin Hot Springs, and the poetry of Canyon, California 94516 ... especially: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0578435187. The poems "From Near Taos: Rainbow Gathering in New Mexico, Dipping in & out of Bliss, Blissware" to "Bonobo Loving Bliss" to "Rainbow is rebellious, like the 4th of July, against the powers that be, - so be hippies," travel far - in their language, and where they go 'virtually,' in completely new directions. Some are lyrical, while others go deeply into life at Rainbow Gatherings (in the western US) and Harbin Hot Springs (in northern California). Loving bliss neurophysiology and language are creatively explored in brand new ways - and, in conversation with the reader, to bring you to this "space." The Poetry of Loving bliss is a completely new direction in poetry writing as well.

It's published by a startup University Press, the Academic Press at World University and School - http://worlduniversityandschool.org/AcademicPress.html - and lists for $9.95. I've brought this new Academic Press at World University and School 3 years in a row to Reed College in Portland, Oregon, as we begin to grow. - https://amazon.com/author/scottmacleodworlduniversity - Reed cheers, Scott ... scottmacleod.com ~

[NTF-talk] Slavery in the Quaker World

Interesting article from Friends Journal. Some of you may have seen it but I hadn't.

Slavery in the Quaker World

Thanks, Bill and Non-theist Quakers / NtFs, Atheist Friends, and all,

I found this related Twitter post for - https://www.friendsjournal.org/slavery-in-the-quaker-world/ - here:

"My new article about Quakers and Slavery in @friendsjournal. I write about how I ended up researching Quaker slave-holding, and why I think it's important for understanding our world today."

https://twitter.com/ktgerbs/status/1170868390522736640 (which I retweeted here - https://twitter.com/scottmacleod).

In a related vein, I find
Anne Marie Helm's main Twitter picture here of a live dog and a stuffed toy dog together - https://twitter.com/annemarieherron - germane.

Anne Marie Helm was a lawyer and law researcher at UC Hastings' Law School in SF for years, and like Gerbner went to a Quaker high school, Sidwell Friends, and I think too identifies with Quakers (having mentioned Anne Marie in a recent "[NTF-talk] Re: [New post] Quaker ‘Advices and Queries’ for Nontheists"). As a lawyer in SF, now in TN, she's probably "seen it all" or some of related injustices to victims of crimes, for example - and possibly within the RSOF even, in the SF Bay Area, as well as at large.

So I appreciate Katharine Gerbner's bringing questions of Christian Slavery into the present, writing: "I wanted to show how something as important as abolition had a history, and how we could learn about social justice by studying the past."

My Non-theist Friends' focus 'theologically" here - in that the roots of oppression, liberation theology-wise, too may be in "God-language" or so argue some liberation theologians (not necessarily non-theistically inclined, but in a parallel way with others interested in social justice, like Quakers) - since "God language" and also via the Bible, one can argue, has long been used to enslave people; liberation theology takes the other tack. And one can argue too that slavery continues into the present (in spite of laws against enslavement probably in most of all ~200 countries). And when the injustice of the modern slave trade tragically spills over into the 'sex trade' ... and when this further spills over into the "child sex trafficking trade," - it would be great if there were an alternative to these horrors and tremendous injustices - re the victims of such 'slave sex trades' - and lessening victims into the future too.

In these regards, I'm appreciating the potential for robotics in the future to perhaps save kids, for example, from becoming victims (of sex offenders, for ex.) - and re questions of law and psychiatry especially as well. For example, at MIT, see the work of Jacqueline Kory-Westlund:

"Published more work from my dissertation - new analysis of a dataset I collected five years ago!

Am appreciating the non-theist Friends' NtF's thinking re freeing Quakers from "God-language."
