I'm trying (and failing) to remember if I tried reading Once and Future King before or after the Mary Stewart's The Hollow Hills, etc. I'm pretty certain I was looking for more Arthuriana after Excalibur seared itself into my mind. . . Which made the breezy tone clash with my expectations

I’ve gotta say the speed with which many people bent a knee to fascism was not something I was prepared for.

That’s why the footage from Portland sparks so much hope.

People are fighting back in unique ways.

They’re making us smile. They’re fighting for freedom AND for joy.

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.

Insane that the Supreme Court didn't immediately stop the tariffs and let this drag on for 6 months. Even the most sacrosanct, load bearing pillar of this country-the interests of capital-must submit to the whims of one old doofus. And we love to see it

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

Just started re-reading The Once And Future King, and T.H. White is throwing paragraphs like this at me. Just describing a medieval haying.

I mean, goddammit, is this guy trying to make me too ashamed to ever write again?

The day after Sir Grummore's visit was sweltering for the men who toiled from milking to milking and then again till sunset in their battle with the sultry element. For the hay was an element to them, like sea or air, in which they bathed and plunged themselves and which they even breathed in. The seeds and small scraps stuck in their hair, their mouths, their nostrils, and worked, tickling, inside their clothes. They did not wear many clothes, and the shadows between their sliding muscles were blue on the nut-brown skins. Those who feared thunder had felt ill that morning.

So, this week has been hard. Very hard. On Monday we found out that my kind, gentle, perfect little man Fergus had diffuse, fast-moving cancer throughout his body. So we had to make the awful decision to say goodbye to him yesterday.
