I don't write prose, but I would think that, as a writer, you have a deeper appreciation for great writing. Naturally, you would pick up on that as a reader. I'm learning guitar and it has changed the way I hear music. Similar.

Funny how differently I read this now than I did when I was young.

Holocaust was legal, hiding Jews was not.

Slavery was legal; freeing slaves was not.

Segregation was legal; fighting for equality got you killed.

Being a wealthy child molester is legal; abortions is not.

Laws are not a guide for human decency and morality.

I want to see the people out on the street, passing out cookies, doing each other's hair, and hugging when the gestapo shows up.

Just got a letter from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield saying that they can require that surgeries like a hip replacement take place in a doctor's office or an Ambulatory Surgery Center instead of a hospital. But they helpfully point out that the parking is better, so it's a win-win for everyone.

Lol - I have a weak spot for domestic thrillers. They are glorious trash.

The Blandings Castle books with Lord Emsworth and his prize pig, The Empress of Blandings, are also a good choice.

Anything Wodehouse and the Lucia Stories by EF Benson. But reading in general is comfort to me.

She always looks like she's wearing a costume. You would think that a model would know how to wear clothes instead of the clothes wearing her.

Which companies are having the most negative impact on the country and our democracy? First amendment capitulators would fall into that category, right? So ABC/Disney/Hulu. Washington Post/Amazon. Who else?

Once again this will just go over the republicans heads.
They just say but he loves Jesus
The only thing Trump loves is himself.
Not to wish ill on anyone but he has never experienced true loss or pain and because of this is totally incapable of feeling empathy

The owner had quite the collection of African art that was very beautiful. But I yelped out loud when I came across this particular piece.
