“It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,–
Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!–
It is the cause. Yet I’ll not shed her blood;
Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,
And smooth as monumental alabaster.
Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.”
- #Othello #ShakespeareSunday

His pen a point of light.”

Anyone else know the feeling when you have to crawl out of bed at 0400 because the last two lines of a new #sonnet just hit your brain, and rather than simply jot them down on the clipboard on your nightstand, you have to see what they look like on the page? No? Just me? OK.

Dear Santa;
1. What I really want – NEED – is a cure for cancer.
If you could drop it off to Sloan Kettering in New York City, I’d really appreciate it.
2. I know times are tight, but if you could ask people to donate a few dollars to Christina Alvarado's GoFundMe, I'd really appreciate it.

The NYC Young Republicans are pivoting from having Nazi-sympathizers in their ranks to featuring them at their galas.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
