Pay close attention to the tone policing. Note who scolds our fellow citizens for making themselves heard in residential neighborhood. Observe who clutches their pearls because diners were forced to hear the recorded screams of bereaved parents.

Our innocent children deserve to feel safe more than our insecure men deserve to feel powerful.

It’s funny how much you can forget in four years. I had forgotten for instance that a president elect might appreciate a poem by Seamus Heaney. I’ve come to realize that we are in a liminal space. Moments of grace and beauty are going to be more than a little shocking for awhile.

Good morning! If you only look at one map today, make it this one. This is what red/blue states really look like. Land doesn't vote. People do. #ElectionResults2020 https://t.co/dfpl4N2MLq

Changes come.

You don’t get to howl about protestors disrupting business and rioters hurting property if you refuse to wear a mask and participate in a reasonable social distancing.

It’s you.

You’re the rioter.
You’re the anarchist who’s destroying American prosperity and endangering lives.

The Confederacy existed for 5 years. Gilmore Girls was on for 7 years. That means Gilmore Girls is a bigger part of our history and we should build statues of Emily Gilmore.

Worth repeating that all of the police violence you see happening right now has been happening for a long time before there were any camera phones to record it. It’s a daily phenomenon in communities across the country. It’s structurally embedded into how these forces operate.

Happy National Poetry Month. Here’s a poem by @aracelisxgirmay aracelisxgirmay

More than insight, the valuable product of grief is empathy.

[Nadia Bolz-Weber @Sarcasticluther]

It’s also now a pandemic of human disappointment. Cancelled trips, art openings, sporting events, book tours, concerts. Things folks have been planning for, working toward, and excited about - that’s a lot of grieving on top of sickness. 🙏🏻

My grandmother, who was sent to Siberia for 10 yrs, said that in February, birds wld freeze to the ground. So, prisoners, who were sent to work, wld grab small birds, put them under their armpits.
By the time prisoners got back to barracks, the birds would thaw out & fly away.

This clip is making the rounds, as it should. I believe it to be worth your time and attention.

I can relate to blenders because I also scream while I'm doing my job.

Artists installed seesaws at the border wall so that kids in the U.S. and Mexico could play together. It was designed by architect Ronald Rael. ⁣

Beautiful reminder that we are connected: what happens on one side impacts the other.
