I cried when I read this. Being a Molly Grue… we come by it honestly, through pain, and ultimately through love. You captured that tension and expressed what it is to be old, and disappointed, yet still to live in hope and belief. I give you the lilac wood of my heart in thanks

Bernie Sanders: "We're not only dealing with a move toward authoritarianism, we're dealing with what is new to America -- politicians have always lied, nothing new about that. But the level that we're seeing right now. The big lie, over and over again ... "

I think the reason people are frustrated with Democratic leaders is that they expect these elected representatives to act like a real disaster is happening, which it is. Four-day weekends and bratwurst junkets in Munich kind of undercut that

I am so, so tired. And I know you are, too. Here's “Death blowing bubbles,” 18th century. The bubbles symbolize life's fragility. This plaster work appears on the ceiling of Holy Grave Chapel in Michaelsberg Abbey, Bamberg, Germany. After the monastery’s dissolution, it became a hospital.

Plasterwork of a skeleton blowing bubbles set against a pale blue wall.

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

I can't imagine how different the world would be if people had screamed like this when NEH and NEA were slashed, when entire humanities departments started vanishing, when we decided we didn't need to teach history or lit or culture or language. We might still have a country.
