this choice of photos by the Carter Center is shadier than a Georgia peach tree in summer

I rarely want to say anything on here. But one thing I do want to share with whomever is listening is that one of the loveliest things about Carter's memorial events is that they show that people of faith--including the Christian one!--exist across the political spectrum #momprof #Carter

The more your work is deemed successful, the louder the cries will become, the more they will fall like leaves on that path until it is hard to even see, just as your own thoughts are hard to hear in the clamor. But you must try to remember that purpose, that self, that path anyway. And do the work.

No, they will be requests to be on panels, juries, to write things that are not the things you were born to write, go on book tours, support other works of art (and sometimes you should), but no one will haunt you to stay on your own path. Every request is a request to you to detour from it.

No one will email you persistently or message or call or text to urge you to do the work that is truest to yourself and deepest within your imagination, the work you set out to do.

Plot showing age of population and elected representatives in democracies.

Plot showing age of population and elected representatives in democracies.

As Dems reelect a spritely 74-year-old Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader, this is a reminder that U.S. politicians are the oldest of any democracy, despite the U.S. having one of the youngest populations.

I'm sympathetic here but I need some concrete reasons so I can give them to the students.
