[Just Joyce @johnstonglenn]

Farewell Nobel Laureate Alice Munro, who has died aged 92. Her short stories were often compared to James Joyce's. Boys and Girls, which is about gender roles, and Runaway, about a woman who refuses a chance to escape a bad marriage, have both been likened to Eveline.

When someone of Alice Munro’s stature dies, “the world feels a little empty for a while and may never completely get back to its ever-elusive purpose,” Lorrie Moore writes. “Still, there remains her great, great work.” https://t.co/QZ7jA8gvO2

A sense of belonging is essential to good health, which is why celebrating Holi was an excellent event to improve health and make new friends !

@MikeTalonNYC @DanRather Keep in mind that the current President is not waiving privilege. He has no authority to do so.
On the contrary, it is the US Supreme Court that has held that priv does not apply in the previous President's circumstances.

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.

Here’s to a better, safer 2022.
Athbhliain faoi shéan is faoi mhaise daoibh! Happy New Year!

[Seamus Heaney @HeaneyDaily]

History says, Don’t hope
On this side of the grave,
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up
And hope and history rhyme.
