Yesterday I saw Elizabeth Warren speak at a local town hall. My third in-person experience with a presidential candidate, she was easily the best (compared to Bernie and Kamala), and I think she’s got a good shot at the crown. In a 1v1 race against Trump, I have no idea who would win, but her …
The ghost of Obama hangs heavy over this entire Democratic primary. A bastion of goodwill in these troubling Trumpian (god I love that word) times, the memory of his time in office acts as our comfort blanket through these cold nights.

You know, I did not really want to write today. Having one of those days of disenchantment with the “art”, I felt no worthy pull towards creation or output. Yet I picked up a book today that just demanded I write. I could not NOT write, for it spoke of what I wrote about last …

Can’t See the Seaweed from the Sea So re-reading through my first week of posts, I see the arising theme of the decaying liberal order and the growing specter of fear for the state of the future, and I wanted to cut it off sharp. Aside from the daily deluge of dumb news contstanly streaming …
As the Friends of Dorothy fully realize themselves (and we have all seen that in clear abundance this month) and lay claim to their rightful place in our social community, the once crammed closet now seems positively spacious. Yet we live in a very Newtonian society, and as someone rises ascendant, someone else gets pushed …
I love Beyonce Knowles-Carter. I love nearly everything about her. I love her talent, her adept ability to wield her authority and power with the aims of improving the public consciousness.
