To be fair, I don’t think public policy is my strength

Right, but the problem is “I’m selling, but not to YOU”

I’m just skeptical of measures that prohibit buying but permit selling

Different proposal

Seems to me the answer could be to make tobacco products prescription only and otherwise criminalizing the manufacture and import of tobacco. At least then the burden is on the producers (who have made all the money)

A TRIP ON THE STATEN ISLAND FERRY Dear Jonno there are pigeons who nest on the Staten Island Ferry and raise their young between the moving decks and never touch ashore.

Audre Lorde (to her then-6yo son):

Any ideas @lauan.bsky.social or @schlawinerkreis.bsky.social?

Solidarity.

Love to hear this!

In this moment where we are talking about how "woke" is supposedly over, how feminism supposedly destroyed the workplace, and Muslim women are once again in the news, it's a good time to talk about Faux Feminism. My interview with the @thedissenteryt.bsky.social is up!

Yesterday I sat down with my tenor sax for an hour and started working out what might become a solo performance... the first time I've been working on a real musical project in more than a decade. Baby steps, but feels good

Tho the Waits album is both bleak and lush at the same time, which is a different achievement

Oh God also Alice by Tom Waits

I really like Rowland S. Howard's album Teenage Snuff Film for this

I’ll be there!

Anne Lamott says write a first draft so shitty that you’re terrified you’ll die in a car accident on the way home, because then someone might find and read it

Strongly recommend that book

Just gave a talk to a lovely audience on Lordean insights into inheritance & cross-generational change. From the last chapter of my book.

It was for the philoSOPHIA feminist philosophy conference, one of my fave philosophical communities 💜

… What I am going through today, they all went through a few weeks earlier and, as excruciating as it is, you get used to it – I’ll get used to it, too.”

You get used to it. Whew. (all this from Living with Men, whose title is still haunting me)

Manon Garcia with just a devastating account of the Pelicot courtroom:
