I love many writers, but Dillard I study, still study. Her vision and voice, what she can do with one single sentence, going right from bugs to god. Very few people die and I have the feeling of absorbing a crumb of them, won through devotion and love. She left us her sentences which are a miracle.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

The Library is devastated to learn of the passing of Dolly Parton, a music legend and titan of children's literacy. Her Imagination Library program has earned multiple Library Literacy Awards and, in 2018, she visited us to donate its 100 millionth book to our collection and host a story time. 🦋❤️

The pointless National Guard deployment in Washington DC until January 2029 will cost approximately $1.4 billion. This amount could have funded the National Endowment for the Arts or the National Endowment for the Humanities for almost 7 years.

What remains one of the best life hacks I’ve ever learned: at any chain that has a phone number-based rewards system needed for discounts (CVS, Duane Reade, etc.), simply put in the local area code followed by 867-5309. There is always already an account. You will always get the discount.

Charles Simic, born on this day in 1938

Empires

My grandmother prophesied the end
Of your empires, O fools!
She was ironing. The radio was on.
The earth trembled beneath our feet.

One of your heroes was giving a speech.
"Monster," she called him.
There were cheers and gun salutes for the monster.
"I could kill him with my bare hands,"
She announced to me.

There was no need to. They were all
Going to the devil any day now.
"Don't go blabbering about this to anyone,”
She warned me.
And pulled my ear to make sure I understood.
