Actually, a person choosing not to read or follow Hanania is NOT similar to the federal government attempting to dictate the ideologies of a university and try to take the university into receivership.

"I think those of us who pick flowers and put them in vases, and those who make still life arrangements and paint them, are doubling down on the daily... The artist Lari Pittman once told me that the decorative is a way of managing the great barbarity of the world, a means to keep the radical contingency and cruel unknowability of what is going to happen next at bay. This means that the decorative is a strategy against violence, and in that regard it's no mistake that the decorative has long been the province of the historically disenfranchised-women, servants, queers-charged with the tasks of keeping house and maintaining culture." -Helen Molesworth from (Nothing but) Flowers

No notes
Two images of Peter Falk as Columbo embracing and talking to his Basset Hound, named Dog. He promises Dog a cookie if he keeps the car safe, and he promises Dog a cookie if the car gets stolen, because he loves Dog.

As the ancient texts foretold, I was visited by seven crows
Seven crows sitting on the black railing of a terrace. In the background are some trees that have partially lost their leaves, some buildings, and a bright blue sky with some clouds. Three crows sit on the black railing of a terrace. One crow is walking across the terrace. In the background are trees partially covered with leaves that are yellow, green, and red.

One of my favorite Columbo guest stars. She played Goldie, a saucy lady dedicated to finding her ex-husband’s killer. She called Columbo “lover” in the most delightful way.
Peter Falk, as Columbo, wearing a tan trench coat stands with Janis Paige, as Goldie, wearing glamorous sun glasses and a bronze brocade outfit with a large neck bow.
