Such a great piece about what is happening right now - thank you!

I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines

(with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

The New Harmony Project's values are not for sale. The Trump administration wants us to abandon our values and principles and turn our backs on our diverse and inclusive community. We will not do it. Read our Open Letter about changes at the NEA here. www.newharmonyproject.org/news/2025/2/...

Grateful every day for all of the world changers, truth tellers, builders of worlds and crafters of narratives. At NHP, we're thankful to writers for giving us a glimpse of the worlds we just might be able to build. Sending love to everyone in the NHP community and beyond. #WritingChangestheWorld
