I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression
The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

Congressman Clay Higgins was the only one to vote no to release the Epstein Files. You’re gross, man.

FDT for what he’s doing to this country and to the people of the state I call home. ICE is tearing families apart, assaulting/kidnapping other human beings and disrupting local businesses in a really bad economy.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

NC Gov. Josh Stein condemned the recent deployment of agents to Charlotte, saying: “This is not making us safer. It’s stoking fear and dividing our community.”

‘Plant impossible gardens.’
A rainy morning in Kassel but the sun shineth on Joseph Beuys’ ‘7000 Eichen’. Beuys ambition to plant 7000 oaks, each paired with a basalt stone, began with Documenta 7 in 1982. 40 years on, Beuys’ legacy of ‘social sculpture’ feels more relevant than ever.

My favorite local restaurant paid for our brunch when my dude spilled the beans that is was my b-day. They didn’t have to do that but they said we were regulars & good people…best gift ever-absolute kindness. Again…local restaurant. Small biz. We made sure to leave a good tip but I felt the love 🥹

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:

In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.

“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

This year tried to snuff out a lot of people’s light. It almost extinguished mine but I’m still here. Here’s to 40 years of existence tomorrow. “Oh, such is life. Different paths and feelings. Oh, such is life. Oh, what a ride. I'm screaming, ‘I'm still alive.’” ~Dan Deacon

“Plight is the condition of modern humanity — deafness to the inner sound. But in the silence there is also the chance of hearing again.” Joseph Beuys, ‘Plight’ closed 11/16/85.

“Agents parked just outside a closed gate leading to the church parking lot & ran into the yard…

The agents asked no questions and showed no identification before taking one man away, whose wife and child were inside at the time…”

And I’m buying myself flowers this weekend dammit. White carnations. I survived this year. I didn’t want to be alive several weeks ago but I’m still here. I’m thankful for my life partner of 21 years and for my friends. I’m going to celebrate the hell out of all of that. I’m still here.

Joseph Beuys identity really formed in his 40s. I turn 40 this weekend. I was born on the exact day his ‘Plight’ closed so I felt inspired to apply some of his teachings to my life. I signed up for a trash pick-up next weekend. It’s small. But we can get through this if we rebuild our communities.
