Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.
A book nestled amongst purple flowers. The cover of THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY by Lindz McLeod shows two women in regency dress sit on a pink picnic blacket. The blonde woman in the light yellow dress offers a bright red apple to the dark-haired woman in the purple dress. Behind them we can see a lake and in the far distance, two horses stand in front of a grand house.
If you're excited for THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY dropping in a mere two weeks (!!) please do consider pre-ordering it.
Available in gorgeous paperback and beautifully-narrated audiobook forms!

An update from my dad's workbench. He's carved one of his sheet phantoms skipping over a waxed driftwood pebble, like some kind of seabed creature...

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:
If you're out there writing poems—in a shadowy room, on the night shift, on your lunch break, beside your napping child, anywhere—you're keeping the human soul alive. You're doing the work we all need. And I absolutely love you.

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
Harriet Williamson on #NovaraLive: "the stench of Labour Together is all over this.. that's what was so important about what John McDonnell said.. Labour Together was the most hollow project from the get go & it was filled with some of the most unscrupulous & mendacious people in British politics"🎯
