Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

It's very helpful to remember: we organized and we won a lot of good shit.
That scared entrenched power shitless, and this moment is that hierarchy's struggle to reassert itself.
If we beat it back and demand a rebuilding that is liberatory, we can win even better shit.

Like, very obviously, many things have improved! My kids get accommodations in school that would have been unthinkable in the 90s! Gay marriage is, right now, legal! If you spend all day thinking about how much worse things are you're basically talking yourself into being a reactionary

I'm likely breaking Ohio law by being a native Ohioan currently in Ohio & not watching The Game. But I see posts.
My father taught my brothers & me that umpires & referees are part of the game. They, like players, make mistakes. Play review is just bad, privileging competition over sportsmanship.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.
