Connective Tissue
connection
is my necessary thing
and it comes to me in details
fur coating the lupine pod
seeds on the strawberry like stars in a galaxy sun-yellow beak jutting from the junco's black hood gradations of purple to pink in the sweet pea blossom
sudden meeting of eyes in which someone is truly home looking out and seeing me, who is also home with hearth fires burning in welcome
ivy waving in the wind
egret flying with black feet trailing behind sticky monkeyflower sporting orange gullets dudleya growing squat with red spires reaching high my husband offering me cardamom tea and a smile
unrelated details yet part of the matrix that keeps me from dispersing
connections
meeting, merging, branching, extending and swirling me back to our common source

important piece of how journalism works right here www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/never-apol...

The Post, a truly immoral scumbag tabloid that is simultaneously the most skilled tabloid journalism publication in America in a way that we can all learn from, ran the story, and then it was picked up over the next few days by other right wing outlets making essentially the same “hey this left winger is a rich kid” joke, and then yesterday the story was picked up by the New York Times, which had profiled Gordillo earlier, and once that happened it instantly became acceptable fodder for non-right-wing reporters and pundits. This is a textbook case of how to shepherd a shallow partisan smear into the mainstream news cycle. You may find it distasteful, but you should admire its efficacy. Any competent cutthroat political communicator must be able to replicate this process on demand.

(When I worked at Gawker, we frequently played a similar but less political role in this general process, by writing about stories that the Times was interested in but considered disreputable, which would then allow them to write follow-ups framed as “People are talking about this thing,” which provides them an entry point to feed their readers salacious news while still maintaining an analytical, hands-off pose. Once you understand this dynamic you will see it all the time.)
