Mary Oliver — “I got saved by the beauty of the world.” | The On Being Project
A gift of an hour with the beloved late poet. The life behind the beautiful, precise words. How “Wild Geese” and “The Summer Day” came to be.
onbeing.org
“Meanwhile the wild geese,
high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.”

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Friends, vikings, countrymen: lend me your eyes. May I present what just happened an hour ago in Iceland?
It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather!

Grace McDonnell was 7 years old when she was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
As of today, December 3, 2025, she would have been 20 years old. This kind of thing is absolutely unacceptable.

Blowing up boats and murdering folks is a war crime, especially when there is no evidence to support the decision.
Hegseth is in charge of the Pentagon and he’s the one giving illegal orders, but he’ll blame Admiral Bradley to save his own skin.
Hegseth should be removed and held accountable.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Good evening Doc. Ukraine deserves to win this battle; they’ve put up a very good fight so far. I’m afraid those who are negotiating have their own business interests at heart and are Russian assets. Peace plans are not acceptable and I hope Ukraine doesn’t give up much
