I always look forward to your insights. Thank you! (And I love your hair tonight.)

Great turnout for No King’s Day today in Great Barrington, MA! Small but mighty!

From: “1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” 1976

TAKE CARE OF THIS HOUSE

Take care of this house,
Keep it from harm,
If bandits break in,
sound the alarm.
Care for this house.
Shine it by hand
And keep it so clean
The glow can be seen
All over the land.

I am so ashamed of the president & vice president, and for America. Thus is unbearable.

One of the Ads the Washington Post refused to run

I don’t understand. During the first clown show with Trump, we were all over him about stepping away from his businesses, & now he’s hosting a Republican retreat at his Doral resort; TrumpCoin; selling merch on T*umpstore.com; and who knows what else. Have we completely given up? After one week?

Donations to Biden's inaugural fund in 2021:

Meta = $0
Tim Cook = $0
Sam Altman = $0
Google = $200,000
Amazon = $200,000

Donations to Trump's inaugural fund in 2025:

Meta = $1,000,000
Tim Cook = $1,000,000
Sam Altman = $1,000,000
Google = $1,000,000
Amazon = $1,000,000

The oligarchy is here.

There’s a cold blast on its way but we Woolly Warriors are always ready!

Stay warm folks 💚

I would love to see a bunch of musical artists and celebrities put on a nationally televised tribute concert for Pres. Jimmy Carter on inauguration day with all proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

As we get closer to January 20, I am compiling a list of “ocracies” that we could be facing. Please add, so we are informed! Credit to whomever first said these:

Serpentocracy
Gerontocracy
Sclerotic gerontocracy

#Ocracy

“… Granger’s long absence reveals the problem with a Congress that rewards seniority & relationships more than merit & ideas. We have a sclerotic gerontocracy. We need term limits. We need to get big money out of politics so a new generation of Americans can run & serve.” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), 48.

I’m gonna sing this song every day for the next four years. “And don’t sing along with me, cause I’m the singer.”

Does anyone know where I can find a list of the music being sung/played at the reopening of Notre Dame? Also the names of the performers?

Working on a draft of an Annual Fund letter to the patrons of my rural chamber music series, @lichgate.bsky.social, drawing on the importance of community, conviviality, and commitment. We need this now, more than ever.

Just escaped from that other platform and trying to be a small light in the dark world we have been thrown into. Love all things cats,sheep, shepherds, farming, Classical music, books, fine food, and wine. Here’s a picture of my sweet cat, Pippi.
