Rich Villodas pointed out on Substack this week that the season of Lent lasts 40 days, but the season of Easter (Eastertide) lasts 50. The celebration is longer than the preparation. The feast is longer than the fast. @richvillodas.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/richvill...

This conversation with @iamfujimura.bsky.social got me thinking about how we need to pay attention to beauty & goodness & love & truth right now, not as an escape or alternative to attending to the dehumanizing forces all around, but as a reason to hold onto hope and to engage those very forces.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
