When I’m Sick of Doomscrolling, I Turn to This Poem
“Monet’s ‘Waterlilies,’” by Robert Hayden, reflects on what art can (and can’t) do in tumultuous times. Our critic A.O. Scott shows you why he loves it.

An educational system that does not sufficiently teach history will create students who do not sufficiently know how to recognize tyranny as it arrives.

September 11 They woke not knowing. They kissed their children goodbye in the morning dark, left a note under the roses on the table. (I’m sorry. We’ll talk about it later.) Say it: They did not know they would hold hands with strangers and have to choose nothing over fire. They did not know they would have no other winters. Listen. History is human hands, a strand of hair still stuck in someone’s buttons, and absence makes a life undone with hungers: When my friend heard her father was among the dead, she spent all autumn dialing Fire and Rescue: Are you living? she asked them. Can you love? Can you still sing? (These were the days of older phones and you had to cradle the receiver as though you were cradling a tiny child, full of the silences that made you.) Please, they told her. You must only use this number if this is an actual emergency. Silence. A long breath of silence. And then my friend would answer (she, too, is history; she, too, is the wind now), It is. It is. It is. —Joseph Fasano

The Trump administration is kidnapping and trying to deport American citizens who look “foreign.”

No warrant. No due process. No rights.

Americans voted for cheaper eggs, not for a night of broken glass.

For Those Who Defund the Arts As a Political Weapon   You can waste your life on the dark arts. But the soul in you knows what matters. Like the boy who broke into the Louvre and was found alone in the morning, asleep beside the Mona Lisa. He said she looked like his mother.   They led him back to the orphanage— to his century, to his little cot, his life.   Listen. A heart is what you do with it. The world will give us sieges and great plagues and prophets of doom and ruin, but who will be there for that child who hacks for days at the window-lock and only wants comfort and immensity and the smile that cannot die?  —Joseph Fasano

Just watched Maria Ressa on Jon Stewart's podcast. Xcellent episode. The way she connects the dots on how tech platforms weaponize our data & erode trust? Very informative. We can't let 'engagement' metrics destroy our democracies. We need to demand better.

My wife shared this today. She is the best.

Don't Hesitate, by Mary Oliver. If You suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. It. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Another Children of the Vault storyline? Wasn't Darwin supposed to prevent this when he merged into the Vault by becoming a living code?

#Ghostlight is one of the finest hidden gems of the year, a beautiful metaphor for grief and the therapy process through performing arts as it imitates life. Packs an inescapable, emotional punch thanks to the raw power from the Kupferer theater family in Chicago & Dolly de Leon

❤️ you all
For Those Who Wake in Fear Say you get a second chance. You have been to the country of Death. You have felt it slip your heart like a trembling wren back into your left breast pocket and turn you back toward the country of the living. You have felt those small wings shiver in the dark. You're breathing. Aren't you still breathing? Listen. I don't know what the end is. All I know is that grace is what we make it and the starlight blazed to make you of the changes, and if, somehow, you've carried what you had to, if you've managed through the madnesses to carry it, you'll be there, in your own arms, in the darkness, when the dark departs and the breath begins to lift you, and the one great thing you've always been afraid of calmly becomes the great song that you are. —Joseph Fasano

All LGBT+ people should avoid travel (when at all possible) to any state that is not blue in this map.

And that goes double for any international folks visiting the United States. Let your companies be aware they should avoid business travel to non-blue states.
