The wheel is turning, and around we go again. Into a tree canopy's withering, ivy springs up to give shelter in its place, offering the last sweet nectar before the flowerless dark, and berries to fill out the thin times. Light the fires. Broach the barrel. Life is too brief, and the winter cold.

I often wish GenAI could be implemented non-exploitatively, b/c I see tons of kids bristling with the desire to respond in kind to the narratives they consume, & if they *could* express themselves by creating a film or videogame solo it would be really cathartic. Writing remains a craft open to all.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Amal. Amal is the mother of three children Magdy,7 Dima, 4 and baby Ayman here who was born just a few months ago❤️ Amal’s husband worked as a blacksmith but he’s lost his job and they lost their home and are struggling to survive.

As I've finished gardening for the day, here are some of mine. 1. Girls Aloud and the Sugababes were great bands, much better than all the other boy/girl bands of the 90s and 00s.

Today I learned that stereotype and cliché have the same etymology. A stereotype was a printing plate used to produce the same design over and over. And cliché was the clicking sound caused by printing from a stereotype.

(written with permission) When I lived in France 10 yrs ago, a friend asked me to talk to her depressed son. Why would he want to, I thought. We met, drank, talked. Turns out that was they day he planned to end it. Every year since, he flies out to wherever I am to thank me for saving his life 😭

I won't give up on these families. I hope you'll join me. It doesn't need to overwhelm you or make you afraid or feel hopeless or feel helpless. It simply means centering sustaining Palestinian life. Whether a 5 or a share, you keep 6 families alive:

Ironically, in the 1920s Stephen Miller's grandparents, Jewish immigrants who settled in central Pennsylvania where they created the inter-generational wealth that helped fund Miller's lifestyle, were attacked with this exact same rhetoric from the immigration restrictionists of their day, the KKK.

that’s currently showing about the protests at Columbia University to end the genocide in Gaza. As tough as the moments are, there’s a fire that’s lit too in people with an energy that’s actually inspirational. We can do more.

“It took me ten years to live and two years to write” is how Bob Dylan once described Tangled Up in Blue. The song not only opens the masterpiece that is his 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks, it’s key to unlocking the whole record. 🧵
