During Covid lock down, I accidentally bought 200 ranunculus bulbs. ( They were on sale.) Stuck them in pots on top of my shed. Every year they come back bigger. Not sure if they multiply but sure seems like it. I mean, there’s bushels up there.😬

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Another resource to share widely. Stream it in your home. If you can quietly get your hands on the remote for the TV playing in local coffee shops, etc.-- find it & just let it play quietly. Especially if you're in a red area.

I think about this a lot, especially as I’m teaching college students, these days.
Sometimes the point of being alive is the people we are alive for. Sometimes we have to be each other’s reason and trust that doing so will lead us to other reasons.

My 22yo keeps asking me what's the point of being alive.
She's not loving that there's so much work in it.

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.
One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
