@WHMPodcast Dad was Army and we were always told the Air Force would spend all of the money for new bases on amenities/housing and then go back to ask for more money for the actual "mission," so that's why they always had better shit. So money suck isn't necessarily *wrong*
I taught a class on reproductive bodies at Princeton this semester, a course that explored ideas about conception and attempts to regulate who could provide care during labor from antiquity to the Enlightenment.

However you honor Stephen Sondheim, remember his words:
“There are only two worthwhile things to leave behind when you depart this world of ours: children and art."
His masterpieces are his art; his children are all of us whom he leaves behind, inspired to make art of our own.
A few words on Stephen Sondheim and Jonathan Larson.
The legendary composer was one of Larson’s (and every modern theatre composer’s) most important influences. Within Jon’s true story as an artist lost in his own potential, Sondheim plays a pivotal role in TICK, TICK...BOOM!
If TICK, TICK...BOOM! piqued your interest in the legend, consider watching SWEENEY TODD on Hulu or SUNDAY IN THE PARK... on Apple TV or INTO THE WOODS on Disney+. Check out the doc BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED on Netflix, or HBO’s remarkable SIX BY SONDHEIM.
& last week, when I wrote him to say his ears must be burning from the countless Sondheim kindnesses being shared from the generations of writers he mentored, he wrote this in reply.
Steve: you repaid your debt to Oscar 1000 times over. We love you. I love you. THANK YOU. -LMM
