The cultural noise is heavy this week. I actively choose what noise to listen to and hear. Generally I ask: Does learning about this enrich me, direct me to an issue where I may help, does it inform or introduce joy? Or, is the noise meant to bait and distract? #Filter

People treat exhaustion like a personality. Socially acceptable to be drained, yes. Because you are worth so much more, make your personality something else, something associated with your sense of satisfaction.

The week has been loud in every direction. I’ve been keeping my space and my pace orderly so the noise doesn’t decide the mood. Not executed perfectly and fortunately does not have to be.

There’s a discipline in refusing to let public chaos rearrange your inner life. I learned that from people who lived through eras far harsher than anything I’ve seen. I take no credit. I am grateful for having been instructed.

Every generation inherits a version of difficulty, but the people who raised me treated endurance like a craft. They didn’t dramatize it-they shaped it. That kind of steadiness stays with you long after the moment that taught it.

Trump Has Been Rigging Polls for Over a Decade

A new Truth Social post from Donald Trump has everyone talking about Trump using the FCC to rig polls in his favor. But this isn’t the first time he’s rigged the polls.

Little House in the Big Woods was one of my favorites growing up—less for the story than for its descriptions of processes like curing meat and making maple syrup. So it feels fitting that I now live in Wisconsin and spend weekends* doing things like canning apple butter made from trees in my yard.

2 pint jars and 3 half pint jars of apple butter, cooling after coming out of the canning pot

Apples from our trees. It's not a standard variety. But it works well for pies and apple butter. Though it's prone to apple scab (which isn't pretty but isn't a big deal--it's basically the "spots on my apples" Joni Mitchell sings about).

For me: Routines work because they remove negotiation. The fewer choices you make about trivial matters, the more capacity you have for anything that actually requires judgment. Discipline is a form of protection--not subjugation.

La Dolce Vita (1960) The film treats glamour as a philosophical condition rather than a lifestyle. Lush images, but the structure is austere—episodes arranged like moral questions. Beauty here is not indulgence. Spectacle can hollow itself out. #film

One notices how often public debate confuses urgency with importance. The loudest matter is rarely the most consequential, yet it receives the attention simply because it demands it. A steadier civic culture would reverse the order. An old man clings to dreams. #civics

I was young the first time the news disturbed me and how fortunate for me my great-grandmother was alive. "Oh Allie, I am so sorry. None of this is new. Your parents think they discovered injustice. [she cackled] Hardship and cruelty are constants best combated, not by outrage, but love."

A truly fantastic description of codependency: Yes, I will drive you across two provinces to see a specialty herbalist. For myself, I shall do nothing. Highlights ever-present guilt and low self worth that must be overcome with obsessive service to others. Cannot let vileness be discovered.

Some months ago, I saw a quote: “I want to tell you the gentlest thing.” I wonder what it meant—“You are seen”? “You can rest”? For me, gentleness feels like morning light on hills, the scent of linden trees, a quiet kindness that asks nothing. I would like to be told the gentlest thing.

As quickly as I am drawn in visually, I hear heels slapping cobblestone. I smell stale humidity mixed with night's lingering exhaust fumes. I feel the gentle breeze of the alley's breath. Is it a sooty taste? Visual experience invites the other senses.

Pope Leo is an Augustinian. Trump has nothing on him. Trump has no courage and his anger isn’t for Hope but for enrichment, a hold on power, or personal grievances. He is a hopeless man, no vision for others. His world view is one of pure cynicism and selfishness. Courage+Anger=Change. Mother Hope

Quote by Saint Augustine

HOPE HAS TWO BEAUTIFUL
DAUGHTERS:
THEIR NAMES ARE ANGER
AND COURAGE.
ANGER THAT THINGS ARE
THE WAY THEY ARE.
COURAGE TO MAKE THEM
THE WAY THEY OUGHT TO
BE.

To resist, we can take many paths. Sometimes we are vocal and active. Sometimes we combat injustice with love, gentleness and gestures of subtle beauty. All are valid if motivated by uplifting others. There is a bit of everything here with the common thread of uplifting. go.bsky.app/21rmxxm

Historically art and architecture were inspired by the Divine. Today, even our atheist brothers and sisters can be inspired by having their attention drawn upward to the Heavens--out of self, toward the other and into the unknowable vastness. #Perspective

Simplicity is a salve during difficult times. Whether personally or related to local or world events. I reach for images such as this one and the associations I have with them--warmth, family, childhood, smells, light, shuffling sounds of care and love.

People talk about “public transit” like it’s some abstract policy debate, but it’s literally the difference between someone getting to work or losing their job. A bus that runs on time isn’t a luxury. It’s dignity, mobility, and a shot at stability. #transit

Knowledge of history gives context to the present. Embracing historical facts is an intellectual endeavor. Events, especially places, orient. Then a corollary visceral component lends color and detail. I indulge the emotional content of locations and architecture as they have much to say.
