The image shows the cover of the book "Letters to a Young Poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke. The cover is solid black, with a white band across the middle that says "Penguin Classics" in black print, with an image of a penguin between the words. Above the band is the author's name; below the band is the book's title; both are in white print.

Day ...10...?
The image is the cover of the album "Ma Fleur" by The Cinematic Opera. The picture shows the corner of a house hidden in shadow on the left side with several stalks of tall wheat and/or grass in the foreground and a lake or pond in the background. There is more wheat/grass on the right side of the image that is in sunlight.

I mean, if all you're going to do is sit on your ass and wait for a black woman to say something, you should have voted for one, no?

I’m not a therapist or guidance counselor but I’m fairly certain that the first step in positive mental health is to read comic books on your morning commute

There will never be a good time to write. Life won't stop until you're dead and then you really can't write. Do it now.

Day 9 (in theory).
The image is the cover of the album "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite", by the artist Maxwell. The top half of the image shows a pair of women's shoes on a reddish carpet and the bottom half is of whitish wallpaper with a yellow design. The picture appears to have been taken from the wall and looking down to the carpet. The title "Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite" is just above the line where the carpet meets the wall. Below the title are listed the names of the 11 tracks on the album.

The image is the cover of the book "D'aulaires' Book of Greek Myths", written by Ingri D'aulaire and Edgar Parin D'aulaire. The cover shows the greek god Apollo dressed in white robes, standing in a reddish-gilden chariot that's being pulled across the sky by four white horses. They are flying above a what looks to be a forest of low trees and in front of the trees are four small figures: a yellow satyr, a blue satyr, an orange centaur and a woman in red robes holding a jug or vase. The image is the cover of the book "D'aulaires' Book of Norse Myths", written by Ingri D'aulaire and Edgar Parin D'aulaire. The cover is just the image without a title, as all of the images I found had updated information and I could not find a cover from my childhood. The image is of the one-eyed, Norse god Odin, wearing a yellow, horned, helmet and a star-covered cloak, and brandishing a spear as he rides across the sky on the back of his eight-legged horse, Sleipner. His two ravens, Huginn and Muninn are flying a bit ahead of him. Beneath him are figures in a hazy, fog-filled battlefield.

Never forget that the “I came here legally” is a false narrative because this was never colonizers’ land to decide who can be here and who can’t.

The library where I worked at the time did not successfully fulfill a single Patriot Act request.

Not that this is relevant to the current situation. I assure you this is a random memory that popped into my head with zero prompting.

You can't appeal to decency or empathy. They have none. They are not going to feel shame or remorse. If they can feel those things, it wouldn't be for strangers. Empathy isn't for anyone they perceive as beneath them. They don't see most people as humans like them. Stop expecting them to care.

The little girl in this photo? Ruby Bridges? The first Black child to integrate the schools in New Orleans? The inspiration for Norman Rockwell’s painting?

She has a podcast on Spotify. She’s younger than my MAMA. She’ll probably be at Mardi Gras again this year.

So miss me with the nostalgia.

BREAKING: Philadelphia workers have won the first Whole Foods union under Amazon with UFCW.

Since Amazon bought the chain, workers have lost benefits and felt the squeeze.

Now they're fighting back against the multi-trillion dollar giant and hoping this win will be the first of many.

Worried about public health being dismantled? Wear a mask.

Worried about Medicare/Medicaid? Wear a mask.

Worried about the surveillance state? Wear a mask.

Interested in peaceful protest? Wear a mask.

Truly wearing a mask is the best way to safeguard your health AND show resistance & solidarity

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him
