@JoyceCarolOates for Judy Garland

I put on an old coat that matches my worn shoes
And make my way up the mountain
To where only the fog blooms
(A headlamp flashes in the dark the moon looms)

@katiecouric Goodbye Mister Blue
The Greyhound bus departs at noon
Outside of town
They’re offering free rides in a hot air balloon
Charlatan or clown
The understudy on the stage is going down

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

"intent is crucial"--- that is the essence of the law which is why there are gradations of criminality. first-degree, second-degree homicide/ manslaughter voluntary & involuntary. we should respect one another enough to contextualize utterances/behavior.

[Joyce Carol Oates @JoyceCarolOates]

disturbing that fellow reporters/rivals at the NY Times circulated a petition asking McNeil to be terminated for having uttered a single taboo word "regardless of intention." they must have hated him beforehand--why? extreme behavior in those who espouse a free press.
chilling

“Tulips,” by Sylvia Plath https://t.co/OB48KbXjtE via @NewYorker Love this poem. @JoyceCarolOates

Thanks Joyce @JoyceCarolOates for the RT.

Intent is crucial. Would it be right to fire a professor because he listed the novels of Joseph Conrad on a syllabus? N word included? @HootenWilson @Wolfe321 @JoyceCarolOates @bariweiss

@Scaramucci @JoyceCarolOates @Peggynoonannyc Insurrection (Midnight Plus Zero)

We see the flash of headlines in the sky
There are no more bargains left for us to buy
We hear a siren song that fills the air
If you woke us we would fall

@adamfeuerstein Thanks for posting...@jimcramer @megtirrell @SaraEisen I cashed out of my puts..the FDA meeting minutes coming tomorrow?? This stock has bounced up off one positive article & obvious “confirmation basis” on an open label study & Wall Street insiders profit off of a magic trick.

I interviewed 4 WWII Nazis. And then I met a terrifying 5th. Was he real? My new story on Chills: https://t.co/phgZAXOXOr

@JoyceCarolOates Do you have a personal physician who has access to vaccines? My mother gets her second shot next week but even here aggressive action was necessary. Both my brother & his wife now have #COVID19 My brother's symptoms have been mild unfortunately I am ten years older than him...

[Lauren Wolfe @Wolfe321]

Good news! The main cause of the decline in U.S. virus cases appears to be that a significant share of people now have at least some immunity.

Those people + people who’ve had a first vaccine shot = 43% of Americans https://t.co/mBeA4KBGPp
