Hello! It is Friday night, a time for fun and frivolity!
I, naturally, am spending my exciting Friday writing a response letter to the Internal Revenue Service.
It seems that the IRS has may have a difficult time distinguishing the characters I and 1 from one another.
Fun! Frivolity!

I wrote a loooong piece on our current social / political moment, confronting it, using the right language to describe it, and the importance of staying creative and engaged with each other. You might need to break it into chunks. I hope you'll read it all!
Phthursday Musings: Cemetery Prairies

This week is mostly about encouraging you to read a wonderful piece I found thanks to @walthickey.bsky.social and written by @christianelliott.me so go do that now!
I found your piece today via Walt Hickey. There's so much to unpack and may I say, your delivery is remarkable. It's like a work of metaphysics disguised as a consideration of rural cemeteries. I feel like I have more to say but don't know where to begin because of the vastness of your reach. Bravo.

Imagine people who like to think of themselves as sophisticated but who aren’t usually invited to truly fancy dinners, and then when they do get invited, instead of being appreciative, they just scheme to figure out how to steal the silverware.
That’s the Trump Administration in a nutshell.

My 2025 in review. So many spiels. So many baseball games.
The thing is that I don’t care except that I greatly look forward to your anguished discussion of the matter so I’m content for him to take 5-6 years to retire because you provide such excellent commentary on the matter
I had to look Andy Cohen up out of confusion. Andy Cohen is of course the world’s greatest guitarist but would not be found on TV at all! I have absolutely no idea who this other Andy Cohen is.
