Dazzling. Hilary Mantel #bringupthebodies #hilarymantel #thomascromwell #historicalfiction
A photo of text from p. 351 of Bring up the Bodies, historical novel by Hilary Mantel, published 2012. Thomas Cromwell to Rafe Sadler: Look, once you have exhausted the process of negotiation and compromise, once you have fixed on the destruction of an enemy, that destruction must be swift and it must be perfect. Before you even glance in his direction, you should have his name on a warrant, the ports blocked, his wife and friends bought, his heir under your protection, his money in your strong room and his dog running to your whistle. Before he wakes in the morning, you should have the axe in your hand.

Sentiments like Speaker Mike Johnson’s = why people want to follow Jesus but don’t want to be Christians. “radical ideology” indeed. Bishop Budde is no hypocrite.

ADL suggests we all calm down about Elon’s gesture?
Page 24 of Timothy Snyder’s book On Tyranny, Graphic Edition, illustrated by Nora Krug. It is an illustration of a man sawing off a branch of a tree that appears to have been pruned to look like a swastika. The text on the page is, Take responsibility for the face of the world. The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.”

A chunk of me remains here. It’s so hard to say goodbye.
