I love that Zohran's fight to make New York City accessible to everyone goes beyond food and shelter. "This is your city, you should get to enjoy all that it has to offer," is a hell of a platform.
The best thing my students ever gave me. One semester I thought they were just *really* focused on taking notes. Turns out they were compiling a book of all the slightly unhinged things I'd said. It's 152 pages long.
No one tells you that parenting is just relearning the world through someone who thinks worms are friends & birds are miracles. It’s the most healing thing I’ve ever done. My daughter looked out the window this morning & said, everything is green & growing. I told her, you too. And something inside me whispered, so are you. Now I’m watching her hold flowers up to the sun while the light bends like it recognizes her. It’s funny, every spring I think I’m teaching my child about the world & every spring she proves she’s the one teaching me how to see it.
Just a reminder that you are not obligated to argue with every sub-literate plonker online. Gandalf the White did not pass through fire & death to bandy crooked words with witless worms, and nor should you.
In 40 years, it had never rained during the Super Bowl. On the day of 41st the heavens opened up and poured down hard.
Because everything on the stage were live instruments and the stage floor was slick with water for he and his dancers, they asked Prince what did he want to do about the performance.
Prince replied, “can you make it rain harder?”
Long live Prince. The greatest halftime performance in Super Bowl history.
