I tried to read the newly released documents and it was so much I had to stop. So, content warning.

I wish I was angry but instead I’m just so sad. So many lives shattered by these predatory monsters.

The Polycrisis Sublime of the Whitney Biennial It felt like the world as I experience it: no clear path, but enough moments of beauty to convince me to put one foot in front of the other.

A new audiobook of Patrick Stewart reading Shakespeare’s sonnets is coming next month. How delightful!

I'm not two-sidesing this. It is American agression, a war started unlawfully, already resulting in hudreds of deaths, if not more.
