Reading lately.
Providing some context for our times. How things have been, how they came to be as they are, and why it persists. Happy 4th.

Reading lately.
Vonnegut- I was struck by the parallels of that time to today, almost like we’re living a stupider version of then. So it goes. Atwood- A horrific vision of the future that becomes less far-fetched all the time. Happy Women’s History Month.
And then Russell.
Prescient writers.
Kurt Vonnegut’s “A Man Without a Country” Margaret Atwood’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” Quote by Bertrand Russell: “One of the peculiarities of the English-speaking world is its immense interest and belief in political parties. A very large percentage of English-speaking people really believe that the ills from which they suffer would be cured if a certain political party were in power. That is a reason for the swing of the pendulum. A man votes for one party and remains miserable; he concludes that it was the other party that was to bring the millennium. By the time he is disenchanted with all parties, he is an old man on the verge of death; his sons retain the belief of his youth, and the see-saw goes on.”

A photo of James Baldwin lighting cigarette, and his quote: “A civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.”

Things are depressing. Don’t forget to take a break sometimes and do things that make you happy. My toddler helped me make these cranberry chocolate chip scones. Also gluten free.
