Breathe

 

Really loving perspective when it comes to this time in my life. And then there are these two for contrast.

Life In A Nutshell

James Parker's odes are predictably great.

 

More than great. 

They are in fact sublime.  

Escapism

Dreams of saving the world.

Yum

I am new to the world of romance novels. 

Forgive me. 

I always thought that romance novels were uber-steamy, mostly-sex books. I am sure some (most?) are, but I am realizing that some (most?) are just rom coms in book form. And delectably easy reads. 

Don't mind if I do.

Believe

It's impressive that this trailer is so trite when this show is so good-- refreshingly and completely humane. Life right now needs a coach like Lasso.

Catharsis

I'm in quarantine after a Covid exposure and all arrows in my life are pointing towards a reckoning with betrayals of self... 

Alternating between a basement cocoon and walks in the sunshine, I am trying to listen. To others (specifically her and her and her) and to myself...

What facilitates a return to self? Where did this shame come from that suffocates joy?

Caste In The Classroom

 

This NYT podcast (a five part series) is simply excellent. It shines a much-needed spotlight on the role of nice, white parents in creating the segregated, broken education system we have here in the United States.
