A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" โ instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

Well, if anyone could make the attempt, it'd be you. What's your pitch? Sell me on it and I'll give you TWO shiny nickels.

This is what many of us have been saying for years now, that the Israeli genocide is the same thing as cops in the US is the same thing as cops anywhere. Israel and the US in a closed feedback loop testing the boundaries and giving each other permission back and forth, liberal and conservative alike

"The world is violent and mercurial--it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love--love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend. We live in a perpetually burning building, and what we must save from it, all the time, is love."
- Tennessee Williams

The stuffed bunny looks at a really bunny through the window. Also I like painting candles.

Public libraries are just amazing! My daughter is doing a D&D campaign as part of the summer reading program and while I am waiting, someone got a document scanned, then an elderly person got help with their fit-bit, a bunch of books were signed out, and it is all just so damn pleasant.

If your solution to a problem is "feed them to the alligators"; you're probably the bad guys.
