I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

There’s so much in this piece, including: And most of all, we need leaders who understand that losing the game fairly is far more honorable than winning by force.

In a new op-ed Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe writes: Churches like ours, protected by the First Amendment and practiced in galvanizing people of goodwill, may be some of the last institutions capable of resisting this administration’s overreach and recklessness. #Episcopal #tec

Once the church of presidents, the Episcopal Church must now be an engine of resistance
(RNS) — The reckoning, if we are honest, is long overdue.

Sad ending to a remarkable place. Loved the Weathervane. Loved the Shop and the feeling of experiencing the world before I ever went abroad.
For more than 40 years, Chapel Hill had a “must-see” destination. No, not the Dean Smith Center, Kenan Stadium, or the North Carolina Botanical Garden. It was a specialty food emporium called A Southern Season, a source of comfort and pride to locals and an awe-inspiring mecca for visitors.
How Southern Season, a Chapel Hill Foodie Dream, Met Its End
It’s been nearly five years since the demise of the beloved food emporium. Many who loved it still wonder what went wrong.

I like Advent as much as the next girl, but in the words of the great Angela Lansbury, we need a little Christmas, right this very minute…so the Christmas tree is up now in ordinary time.

Such an interesting story
After five generations, a family returned a headdress, moccasins and other clothing to a descendant of a Lakota leader. “We looked at each other and we said, ‘Is this real? 144 years?’” said Tamara Stands and Looks Back-Spotted Tail. “We were just kind of in awe.”
