In Wendell Berry's final weeks and months, he likely had in mind "what he had in mind all his life," his daughter Mary told me yesterday. "He was worried. But he was hopeful. He was a hopeful man. He thought hope was a duty."

"Parenthood is not an exact science, but a vexed privilege and a blessed trial, absolutely necessary and not altogether possible."

— Wendell Berry, Family Work

My favorite single sentence on parenthood I've ever read.

[Poetic Outlaws @OutlawsPoetic]

"As Thoreau so well knew, and so painstakingly tried to show us, what a man most needs is not a knowledge of how to get more, but a knowledge of the most he can do without, and of how to get along without it."

~ Wendell Berry

“A note can be as small as a pin or as big as the world, it all depends on your imagination.”

Dear migrants, before I say any other word to you, I want to bow before your dignity.

“You are not numbers or case files.

“You are people — with a family and a home left behind, with dreams that no one has the right to scorn.” — Pope Leo XIV

We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't.

At Pope Leo XIV’s Concert for Peace tonight at Castel Gandolfo, a children’s choir sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” in three languages — Italian, Arabic, and English.

The singers came from Uganda, the Holy Land, and Italy.

As a Greek, I was introduced to Homer almost as soon as I learned to read. His epics are among the first great works we encounter at school, and they remain a living part of our cultural consciousness.
Given that, I really don't care whether Christopher Nolan has remained completely faithful to Homer or has taken creative liberties.

What truly matters is that he has brought Homer back into the world's imagination. If his film encourages people to return to the Odyssey, discover the Iliad, or venture further into the treasures of classical literature, then it has already accomplished something extraordinary. Any work of art that sends people back to the source has, in my view, made a genuine contribution to culture.

[David Attenborough @fandom_david]

Canada is on fire.
Europe is on fire.
The Amazon is on fire.
Cities are breaking heat records.
Rivers are drying up.
Other countries are drowning in floods.
Storms are getting stronger.
Seasons don’t feel like seasons anymore.

And somehow…
climate change is still a debate.

This eighty seconds from Jon Karl was very, very strong on undermining faith in free and fair elections. By being so very clear, it allowed the audience and program to move past the ridiculous Trump falsehoods and focus on other important news including developments in Iran.

Since today is #Juneteenth National Independence Day - I wanted to share this quick history lesson from Reggie Jackson

NSFW - but I think everyone needs to listen to this so they get a small glimpse of what African Americans had to deal with
