My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I saw on the news this morning that Les Mis is returning to the stage in France, inspired to import over here what I think was my greatest thread Over There.
Les Mis debuted in 1980, just as mass incarceration was taking off. It warned us, we didn't listen. Its lyrics are a syllabus on CJ reform:

BILLIE BUTLER WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Democrat Billie Butler has won a special election for the NH House by a 55-45 margin, very close to Harris' 55-44 margin in 2024.
Butler, a trans woman, was the target of vicious anti-trans attacks by Republicans.

The Dewey Decimal System used to only have two classifications for Black people: 325 (colonization) & 326 (slavery). Each book by a Black person was put into one of these classifications. A book of poetry? Classified as colonization.
