Re-upping this tiny thread of wonderfulness. I love it when good people get loved on.
Good thing: way back in 2014, my friend Beth Inglish invited a guest to our monthly Nashville Creative Group meeting. Nicole was a Senior at Belmont, starting a non-profit to lift up unhoused artists. We became soul sisters.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I love it so very much when I can put something nebulous and shape-shifting into words or a photograph or a piece. Every time it's a bit of a miracle.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:
- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Survivors of sexual abuse have always known that predators get protection and victims get silenced. I wish it shocked me.

White evangelicals whipping themselves into a frothing, idolatrous frenzy to support a sexual predator in the name of power is the perfect distillation of evangelical theology.

Betcha didn't have money on the Catholic Church being the only institution with the spine to stand up to fascism this time round.
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

One of the biggest downsides of being car-free is that ambling around to thrift stores is time-consuming. I went for the first time in several months and the gods favored me. A couple of pieces that are so fashion, that now I have to force myself to leave home just to show them off.
