Listening to narrator auditions for some audiobooks, reading their amazing bios, reminds me there are so many people out there creating, making art, being utterly human in all the best ways.
I'm so grateful. The arts are constantly saving me.

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

All the "move fast and break things" people have is speed and destruction—and the hope that if they move fast enough, steal everything, demoralize everyone, break democracy just in case...they can get away with it.
They're certainly giving it a good try!

The world is so surreal, I feel crazy shouting at it, and that's probably not the healthiest reaction but it's the real-est one right now.
Remembering the world doesn't have to be this way exacts a toll.

In the past, when doing that little “what kind of animal are you?” exercise, I said I was a dragon learning to be human. Last night I dreamed I was relearning to be a dragon.
In a few days my monthly newsletter comes out, where I’ll say more about the dream. Chalquist.com for the newsletter link.

In 1953, in “Concerning Stories Never Told,” Robert Heinlein discussed the possibility of a theocratic takeover of the United States as depicted in his fiction. The conditions he mentioned frighteningly resemble current ones. But science fiction also shows how to grapple with them.
