Cannot wait to see Domingo & my daughter's friends & Jyard Group 40 classmates Danielle Brooks (Joaquina Kalukango also in that incredible cast!) reprise their roles in The Color Purple remake being released 12/25, along with Group 40 powerhouse & friend Corey Hawkins (Topdog/Underdog). Whoop!

Colman Domingo is a Force. I was lucky to see him play Mister Mister in the Broadway revival of The Color Purple. His presence and range as an actor is among the very best of his craft. I am so glad that he is getting roles like this now, and the recognition he has long deserved.

Same. I feel a deeply innate need to pay artists for content. Plus I do not understand streaming, how it works (nor do I wish to learn).
*I confess that I also do not understand podcasts, have never listened to one. I know I'm missing out on a lot.
Old. Very old. (All of my music is Apple, sigh.)

Burt Lancaster's was excellent, hell of a story (adore that man's body of work).

Perfect gems of miracles. Like libraries of nature. Nature preserves are, too, and state trail systems, beaches... treasures, all.

SO interesting, two Greats of American poetry. People's poets, right up at the top of my list along with Whitman, Wm Carlos Williams, Adrienne Rich, Nikki Giovanni, Saul Williams, Gary Snyder, James Baldwin, Langston Hughes, Auden, Stevens, Wendell Berry & our beloved Laureate Louise Glück, et. al.

Damn it & them. I always chaired the annual Scholastic Book Fair aeons ago in my PTA days, loved rolling out those carts and setting them up in the hall, recommending amazing YA classics to the students (Number The Stars, The Giver, et. al.). I raised my 3 kids on those books. What f-ing cowards.

I remember when it was founded, such progressive hopes and dreams. Glad Victor Butterfield isn't around to see what they've done to his school. It was my son's 1st choice 15 years ago, but his dad wanted him closer. How awful for these poor students and faculty - FL has become a foreign land.
