Another super-busy week. The only time I had to myself was on the walk to and from work on Monday and Wednesday. That’s when I took this photo of the entrance to the Keeler building on Fountain Street.

- “Liberty University Hit With Record Fines for Failing to Handle Complaints of Sexual Assault, Other Crimes” (Eric Umansky, Propublica) – Not at all surprising that Liberty University takes the side of the rapists over their victims – it’s an evangelical christian organization, founded by and run by the Falwell clan. Also this is a good time to point out that, during her time as Secretary of Education under the rapist Donald Trump, Betsy DeVos made it easier to be a rapist on college campuses. Given the business practices of her family, this is not really a surprise.
