From a poetry collection by Mary Oliver, where after a hundred poems showcasing gentle observations on nature and animals, she hits you with this
OF THE EMPIRE We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

The Ariana Grande Cynthia Erivo press junkets for Wicked have meant a lot to me emotionally.

Just want to say that Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross played regularly on the in-restaurant radio when I worked at McDonald’s in the early 2000s and this was a seminal part of my personal development. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DVbx...

The Dasha smeared lipstick parade performance should be celebrated as the iconic moment of pop culture it is.
