“Critical thinking without hope is cynicism, but hope without critical thinking is naïvete.” — Maria Popova
This exceptional piece of nonfic by Carrie Lowry Schuettpelz has been the perfect read for this week.

and suddenly green
leaves turn yellow and ochre
like some cosmic hand
changed the world in a moment
with the touch of a button

Tis the season— when my sister and I announce the reading list for the Perfect Strangers Book Club for the upcoming year! Would you like to read one, some or all of these with us in 2025, with weekly Saturday at noon EST Zoom calls to discuss them whenever you can make it? Sign up at bit.ly/thepsbc

I’m not saying either of them actually read them but I did put both letters in the mail 12 days ago.

Spent the first part of this week in DC with fellow Moms Demand Action volunteers asking our legislators to let the ATF do its job.

Hey @runalongwomble.bsky.social — announcing the 2024 reading list for the Perfect Strangers Book Club, a reading group I co-founded with my sister 4 years ago! Some good stuff on there if you wanna read a book (or several) with me next year and talk about it on a Saturday Zoom. bit.ly/thePSBC

Seeing The Pogues at the Wiltern in 2007 with a very drunk Shane MacGowan in a bathrobe and sombrero was something I will never forget. Forever in my top 10 greatest songwriters of the 20th Century. Long live Irish punk rock in 1980s. Long live Shane. Fairytale of New York will never sound the same.
