This is an excellent article. Anne always has great insight but I think this article in particular focuses on several misconceptions the Right has with Balthasar but also provides a framework to look past it to what actually matters.

I’m skeptical of how much of this can be dialed back through peaceful democratic means but at the very least every future candidate at all levels should be asked “how will you commit to reducing Executive power and overreach” and insufficient answers should be a dealbreaker.

Just to be clear: Sergio is marveling at a man sleeping in his own urine on the train. It reminds me of Catherine of Siena kissing the wounds of plague victims and other insane things (love her).

“If beauty is to be true and good, then it must be for everyone. It must be difficult, or complicated, or coarse, or hard to perceive. It must be worth struggling for. And it must exist in all of us.”

The thing you have to understand about America is everything is terrible and won’t get better for a long time. But, for some inexplicable reason, people have faith that the system still can work through this. - me, Explaining the US to the Europeans

. My French is still bad but I can function more or less. I also have finished being treated for ADHD and Depression and no longer need meds. What a year.

In that weird spot of moving where I am establishing more of a life “here”, losing some ties from “there” but not quite settled in “either”. Some of this is organic on my part, some on others. Sometimes a mix of both. Either way, it’s a weird feeling.

Finally own this book. I first read this in Community College in 2005. Now I live in Paris, where he came many years ago and lived as well. It feels fitting to return to his essays.

The funniest thing about Zohran is he’s not even that radical, or particularly impressive IMO. It’s just promising basic quality of life shit and not stepping on your own dick isn’t something we’re used to seeing from politicians anymore.

One of the hard things about teaching adults in France is a lot of the wealthier white ones have a strong chance of being actually fascist and so there’s this weird game of trying to figure out if what they told me is a dog whistle or not lol
