Here we are on Union Street in Santa Cruz. Sam has been given 6 to 9 months to live. He has cancer. On our walk people always say he’s cute. I asked one of them to take our picture. I am going to do this until we can’t. His name is Samuel Beckett, Irish but he writes in French.

@FareedZakaria your guest Mr Bonderev said the Ukraine war might be over in a few months I will be watching to see if he’s right. It is irresponsible to be minimizing the impact of war as just politics by another name

I had a remarkable conversation with Scott Clements of Bad animal and he asked me to readthis poem by Thich Nhat Hanh It reminds me that we are entangled. And that to see the complexity is the basis of compassion.

Now on deadline wh @MSNBC a bit more pushback for the silly “continuity of govt” argument from Dems like Donna Edwards @washingtonpost putting anti maskers before the continuity of unimportant lives Such courage This inequity is poisonous Okay im done with that!

[Tim Fitzmaurice @fitzpoet]

We know now who is in phase 1b and c Using the 1 to blur the shamefulness. Phase 1A is Lindsey graham and marco rubio and that Dem rep from Florida @RepStephMurphy who angrily defended her essentialness to @HallieJackson @MSNBC & no pushback

[Tim Fitzmaurice @fitzpoet]

Disturbing to see politicians putting themselves first for vaccines. Shameful elitism for people who failed to act —on purpose. Then defended by @AliVelshi @MSNBC as if they were inspiring.

I want to begin putting articles for my UCSC ethics/tech class & incarceration on this. I began bringing Writing lessons to the Prison two weeks ago. I got my first "homework" responses back yesterday. The prison is in virtual lockdown with increasing Covid. More to come.
