So so so good.
On this day in 1974, influential English folk musician Nick Drake passed away at age 26. Despite a brief career (Five Leaves Left, Pink Moon), his intensely personal songwriting and unique acoustic guitar work earned him enduring acclaim.

The United States should not be a nation where you ever hear the phrase “Let me see your papers.” This is garbage.
A teenager. A U.S. citizen. Detained by ICE at a courthouse.
This isn’t law and order—this is intimidation. It doesn’t protect our communities; it undermines them.

How long, O Lord? (Seriously, the switching makes me feel like one who has gone down into the pit, etc.)
DST is why most Americans wake by alarm in darkness. Permanent Standard Time would let us sleep longer and awaken naturally to sunlight, for health!

Sure, Certain News Outlets are going to say the Left is cheering right now. But this isn’t about them or their basis in reality (nonexistent, which we knew.) this is about what sort of society we want, one day. I want one where no one ever cheers when someone is shot, bc it’s so horrifying & so rare

You know that parable about the woman who loses a coin and tears apart the whole house to find it? Apparently the kingdom of God is also like this Lucy Dacus record. I had take about 100 records off the shelf to find it…exactly where it should have been. 🤦🏻♂️ 🙏

5 years ago today, Taylor Swift put on a cardigan, picked up a pen, and gave us folklore — a soft, stunning left turn into indie-folk magic. It debuted at #1 on Billboard and rewrote the rules of pop.

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this fascinating exchange Colbert had with Dua Lipa, when she asked him about the role his faith plays in his comedy.

Murderbot is delightful.
Caught the final episode of the first season of Murderbot last night. The whole first season was just lovely, and I'm delighted that it's gotten a second season. Congrats, @marthawells.com, and everyone else involved, both for the season that's wrapped up, and for what is to come.
