Wherever my travels take me, I find that a majority of Americans agree (with each other, and with Democrats) on far more issues than the media or algorithms would lead us to believe.

Is it worth the risk of papercuts to dog-ear practically every other page in Chloë Frayne's The Gravity Inside Us book of poetry + prose as a favorite? Well, yes.
I want to tell you this in a way
you will understand. 
I am constantly moving, and 
I wish you were with me. 

I am somewhere so beautiful
and I turn as if you are there. 
I am in the back of a taxi
winding through New York City;
I remember the way you held me
and an echo falls against my skin. 
I have carried you with me and 
written you into every memory I have made. 

I imagine you
in every
empty seat
I sit beside. 

--Chloë Frayne's poem from her book The Gravity Inside Us

My most misanthropic theory of society is that a substantial degree of ignorance about each other was load-bearing. Under no circumstances should I know my neighbor believes China sent a team of gnomes to steal the 2020 United States presidential election.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow -- 6 more weeks of winter. But he looked just cute as could be choosing his little scroll so I forgive him for everything. (Plus the high today is 80 here, so...)

Happy Groundhog Day! Watching a livestream of Gobbler's Knob while Don't Stop Believin' is sung (with lyrics updated to reflect Punxsutawney Phil's life, naturally) and Miss Pennsylvania twirls her fire batons in the background is such classic Americana I can't stand it.

A short thread with some tips about Trump fatigue and the next few years: 1. Be prepared to pace yourself. Had too much for one day? Shut it down. Dig into work and hobbies. Find enjoyment.

This wrecks me—every single time.
Sentimental Moment or Why Did the Baguette Cross the Road?

Don't fill up on bread
I say absent-mindedly
The servings here are huge

My son, whose hair may be
receding a bit, says
Did you really just
say that to me?

What he doesn't know
is that when we're walking
together, when we get
to the curb
I sometimes start to reach
for his hand

Jacqueline Elsane (c.1932) by Tito-Livio de Madrazo (Spanish, 1899-1979) In Madrazo’s eye, Elsane was a vision in pink. Ever the firm believer in a bold line or a sweeping curve, he here lets the vertical element of the letter “J” play an uncustomarily decisive role.

Coping via West Wing is always a good idea. Excepting s4e22. "You're just too sad for me, Toby." "What?" "You're too sad for me. You're just sad. You bring the sadness home with you and you're -- sad." "Did you feel this way when we were married? That I was sad? ...Did my friends feel like that?"

More Raymond Carver plz.
Rain by Raymond Carver

Woke up this morning with
a terrific urge to lie in bed all day
and read. Fought against it for a minute.

Then looked out the window at the rain.
And gave over. Put myself entirely
in the keep of this rainy morning.

Would I live my life over again?
Make the same unforgivable mistakes?
Yes, given half a chance. Yes.

On a scale of 1 to yes, would it be too over-dramatic to compare losing a carefully curated Twitter community to Mark Antony's angst in Constantine Cavafy's "The God Abandons Antony"? "and say goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing."
Constantine Cavafy's poem The God Abandons Antony

When suddenly, at midnight, you hear
an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don't mourn your luck that's failing now,
work gone wrong, your plans
all proving deceptive -- don't mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage, 
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all, don't fool yourself, don't say
it was a dream, your ears deceived you:
don't degrade yourself with empty hopes like these.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage, 
as is right for you who were given this kind of city,
go firmly to the window
and listen with deep emotion, but not
with the whining, the please of a coward; 
listen -- your final delectation -- to the voices, 
to the exquisite music of that strange procession, 
and say goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.

Walz: So if you are feeling deflated, discouraged today, I get it. Take some time. Take care of yourselves. And get back in this fight when you are ready. And know that whenever you are ready to get back in that fight, I will be standing right here, ready to fight with you.
