But this year they came to Virginia and I got to see them a few weeks back in Alexandria. They sang the perfect song and a whole lot more. They were stellar.

Thanks for this post. After seeing it a couple years ago I listened to the song and loved it. I’ve listened to The Secret Sisters a LOT since. I don’t go out for live music an often, but I checked their tour schedule. At the time, they didn’t go much beyond Alabama.

Amen! "I wonder why he thinks so little of readers’ ability to engage beyond their own experiences. Books don’t discriminate. You don’t have to be Black, Palestinian, or queer to enjoy literature created by writers who are, any more than you need to be a dragon rider to binge a romantasy series."

Instead it has a small room completely lined with glass tiles (more complicated than that sounds) that react (beautifully) to sensors placed in the exterior pond. Clearly difficult for me to explain well and mesmerizing- and not what you’re looking for!

Republicans who see Canada as an enemy has leapt up this year, similar to how Republicans’ approval of Putin shot up in 2016. Virtually no anti-Canada US constituency before this year, and virtually no pro-Putin constituency before 2016. Out of nowhere. Now millions say that’s their position.

How dare you smear Dolly Parton as "neutral in the culture wars"? There's nothing neutral about her Imagination Library, her support for LGBTQ+ people, her fierce devotion to Black communities in Nashville, her vaccine funding, her nondiscriminatory love for all, &&&. She just refused their games.

Prime Minister Carney had to do it. Lutnick stuck his nose in and started changing terms that were already agreed on. Trump and all his people are untrustworthy and have zero honour. They wouldn't have stuck to an agreement anyway.

But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

A note on Royce White, the former NBA player who says he's entering the WNBA draft, a judge ruled he abused his wife and teenage son in an April court order and determined he could not have contact with either of them for 50 years. Great way to "protect women's sports" transphobes.
