Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Getting swept builds character, I tell myself. That’s how you know you’re a Mariners fan. I’m sure these April losses will have no bearing on September….

Black women are still being failed by our healthcare system before, during, and after pregnancy.

President Trump attacks our healthcare and creates fertile ground for racism to grow in our hospitals.

I switched off the game in the 7th, confident that the game was in hand and I could tend to other things.

You would think that having learned this lesson a thousand times as an Ms fan, I would have known better.

Tall closed stalk of blossoms. Camas bloom from the bottom. On the bottom is a six-petaled star-shaped flower, 4-5 inches across. In the center of the petals is a yellow center with long yellow filaments. The color of the petals (which vary subtly by plant) is a dark lavender/blue streak inside a light indigo-ish color.

Stalk of an unopened camas. The bottom blossoms are about to unfurl, and they’re a swirl of green and turquoise.

Spring in Oregon. The camas project continues.
