As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Teach a man who hates socialism and votes for authoritarianism to farm and he can receive socialist handouts for life from the government that bankrupted him in the first place.

At the Antique Mall yesterday, I was briefly shocked by the significant increase in Third Reich memorablia. There’s always been WWII items, but for the first time in 30 years of antiquing there were multiple pendants and flags and other pieces.

Just thinking about how fucked up mega-rich people must be, because they can't even enjoy their money properly, because the most enjoyable thing to do with money is to use it to fix people's problems.

Did they just invent a peace prize to give to (insert president here) because he didn’t get the Nobel?

I’d like to shop in a grocery store that is truly organized by product—ex all pasta is together—instead of perpetuating othering by having separate “ethnic” sections.

This week has been a struggle. But I won a giveaway on @thestorygraph.com for The Witch’s Orchard. So that was nice.

At the museum today, I was struck by this piece. All three men are looking at the woman, whose gaze is downturned. The name of the piece indicates it’s her story. The names of all three men are carved into the base. So I found myself asking the important and haunting question: “what was her name?”

I spent Sunday with a few toddlers who were in the" I hand you things, you hand them back" phase.
Yesterday, I sent an email to a former co-worker asking for Hallmark movie recommendations.
These are the same things. Small, simple connections with others, a way to feel part of a group.

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

When I was in high school, the guidance counselor used to speak really scornfully about easy electives like "underwater basket weaving" but I have contemplated this for 35 years, and I still think underwater basket weaving sounds really hard.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
