During the Act 10/anti-Walker protests, when it was so incredibly cold, we'd duck into Graze, put our signs in the window, and have brunch and a cocktail, then head back out when we were done. Ah, but I was so much younger then...

For what it's worth, Sari, it works for me, also a longtime subscriber. Maybe try clearing the cache? Good luck!

I feel your pain.

Halfway through and loving this book. I'm reading slowly because in addition to rich characters and story, the sentences are so damn good.

Can't wait to dive in. It's a beautiful book to look at, too.

Yes!! Yes, it is.

One of the frustrating aspects of all of this is the need for the rational to argue against the irrational as if the irrational is in any way rational. Even writing that sentence exhausted me. It's such a waste of everyone's energy and talents.

Life is strange. You just may have done way more for the country and the party by staying in Wisconsin a little longer. Selfishly, we're glad you're still here with us.

My guess is people who don't pay lots of attn. were reading it for the first time on the ballot and bc they'd just shown their Ids, they didn't quite get this was enshrining it in the constitution. Still, as much as I loathe this outcome, if I could only win one thing tonight, I'd take the court.

Or as CSPAN's captioners rendered it, He Neigh Nee. So I guess Mr. Ed can come to Seder as well.

Came here to say this very thing. We're right next door. Come on Sunday. We'll ply you with cheese curds.

Interesting. Is he still coming, just no longer advertising it? Did someone make it clear there'd be consequences? My hope is @joshkaulwi.bsky.social did something heroic. apnews.com/article/wisc...

Toni Morrison reading Beloved is not to be missed, IMHO.

It’s primarily an academic conference put on by an academic organization. It is useful for some, probably not for people outside the MFA world. I went when my university paid for me and I stopped when I was no longer in academia. Nothing to get all worked up about.

Calls for resignation or firing make sense as a first step. But since he won't resign and won't be fired, what do we do next? And by "we" I mean "you, my representative."

I see others talking about class action suits. It feels like there are so many other issues requiring our energy and attention I can barely focus on this. I feel like I need some kind of Severance thing so different segments of my brain can do different activisms.

Both my novels and some of my earlier short work including one of the very few poems I've ever published. A bit embarrassed they're not stealing my newer, better stuff.

Winthrop Paroo wasn't Marian's brother birthed by hiis clearly postmenopausal mother as the River City folks seem willing to believe, but is actually her son fathered by Miser Madison.

My 15 mo. pup who has heretofore shown no awareness of anything emanating from any screen, including my voice, her image, barking dogs, etc., woke from a dead sleep upon hearing this. She then approached my phone and head tilted through the entire rendition. I think you've got something here.
