#WhitmanWednesday 🌾
Each of us inevitable,
Each of us limitless—each of us with his or her right upon
the earth,
Each of us allow'd the eternal purports of the earth,
Each of us here as divinely as any is here.

Clouds drag their heavy velvet over the bay,
Dunes lift their rough blond grass,
the sand lies open, wide, unmade.
Across the water the cliff catches fire, honey on stone.
Everything is waiting, even my ribs.
Come, be the tide that doesn’t apologize for arriving.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Ariana Grande tells Vogue Japan she’s like “that Kirsten Dunst meme” now that she’s an Academy voter:
“I’ve been taking this very seriously. I’m like that Kirsten Dunst meme where she says, ‘Yeah, I watch everything because I’m a member of the Academy.’ I’m that meme!“

Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️
