Podcast guest... "when we got pregnant."
I've never been comfortable with that phrase. My wife gave birth to two kids. We raised them. But we were not pregnant. She was.
Pregnancy is an awesome power and responsibility. And it is not mine. Parenting - yes. Pregnancy - no.

DEI is a concept that evolves, not disappears.
The logical outcome of the US administration's language is that any job failure not by a straight, white man will be blamed on gender, race, or sexuality. It's justification for saying everyone is inferior to the white man.
Dangerous times.

Trump is a rapist.
For Trump voters, either...
1. Your *opinion* is right, and a grand jury, jury, two judges, and a federal appeals court is wrong.
2. You're ok with a sexual predator being President.
It's a binary. I just don't get it, and I can't get past that.

USA/CANADA - Tension
Strange times as a fairly recent emigrée to Canada.
I know and love so many in the USA. And the government is becoming less human. A cold, dispassionate view of suffering, briefly alleviated only when profits align. Don't know what to say. Hard times ahead.

I'm in awe of Cowboy Carter. On my 2nd listen-through now. I'll need to sit with this for a while to really get it.
But god damn... what a statement. Beyoncé was right. This isn't a country album. It's a Beyoncé album. Ameriican Requiem -> Blackbird, and DollyP -> Jolene? Damn.

One thing I *love* about BSky - when famous people die, there is an honest, but not vicious, reckoning about them.
Like Joe Lieberman today, and most of my GenX brethren saying some version of, "yeah, that guy was a fucking tool."
Which he was.
