After the events of this weekend, I started the presses on my newspaper. https://www.thecornerstonepress.com/ The picture is of a tiny library and bench I built to house the paper. The bench, or as I’ve been calling it the newsstand, is placed by the road for passers by to take one. I’ve been preparing the newspaper for awhile now and was waiting for what event would warrant a start. During the initial pandemic lock down, the “two weeks”, I was walking my dog in a park and the entire outdoor park was shut down. There was yellow caution tape wrapped around the equipment and buildings. I remember walking through that scene knowing something big was happening and that I had to prepare fast. I’ve had the same feeling in recent weeks, like then as now, I was prepared and could jump into action right away. Aside from telling my discord war has been coming, this add trust in my judgement that the day after I had everything ready to start a physical paper including housing and a website. It’ll be a monthly issue, so check it out now and come back then. The other side of the paper is the cafe, where people can read and talk about the paper. With everything I also provide myself to talk. I write first for myself, next to educate others. My hope is my writing is of a level to challenge people, if that’s the case, then they are left with questions and I must be there to bridge their gap in understanding. It’s hard getting people to think.
