After an 8-year hiatus, I starting writing again last spring. I’m now on the third edit of a novel. Treated myself to a new desk to keep the momentum going.

Just finished this. A beautifully brutal novel by @miriamgershow.bsky.social Her ability to find the voices of such a disparate yet connected cast is inspiring. And that final line has shades of Gatsby in its brilliance. Highly recommend to my 4 followers.

For Black History Month my school had an art competition for work that celebrates black history / culture. One student submitted a digital collage of black heroes: MLK speaking, LeBron dunking, PK Subban hitting, and Tiger Woods’s mugshot.

my own "don't get me started" horse is that the torture memos were the actual "that's the end of this country" moment. plenty of friends will point out the US aid both known and covert to e.g. Pinochet (et al) indicates that claims of moral stature for the US were already bullshit, and fair enough..
In 2001 the Bush White house found a lawyer who gave them a set of memos, culminating in one in particular, which said torture was legal.
Afterwards, he had no bad consequences and was hired to teach at Yale
Consequences for this sort of thing, or everything is a rehersal for the next, worse thing

Two lawyers, one Yale educated, one Harvard educated; one the VP, one a senator, suggesting that decisions made by courts aren’t legitimate if they don’t like the outcome. This is dangerous territory.

When my kids go through my old CDs on a Saturday morning, we go from The Used, to Rage Agains The Machine, to Fiona Apple, to Elliott Smith and The Faint. Angry, sad, silly—they dance to it all. Unexpectedly, even the most mournful and righteous becomes joyous. We laugh and we dance.
