Story Time
My mother always told me to finish what I started, but she had no idea of some of the people I'd be dealing with.
Some of the stuff I learned early on was useful, she told me, but most of it was obviously meant for someone who was not me.
My grandmother kept a box of old photos in her attic & we used to go up there on rainy days & sit on the floor in the dusty light & go through them & she would tell about witches & broken hearts & how we came from royal blood & it was all there in the pictures, she said & then we'd lose the light & we'd all go downstairs for dinner & in our secret hearts we sat taller knowing once we had ruled the world.

plural happiness
-David Rivard
"A curtain bellying like a pregnant cloud, warm white
light refracted through a tumbler of peat-smoked scotch—
a scorcher of a day at cooling end, with stupendous berries
to eat in lieu of supper, the scoffed pint box of blueberries
chased by a half of cantaloupe & Maytag blue cheese
spread across the remains of last night's baguette—
a plural happiness—I feel encouraged for all
within range"

Contraceptive Nonsense
I'm getting super angry about this 'debate' about whether or not contraception should be covered. Of course it should be covered and there are a lot of other people who agree...
"While GOP and some religious leaders are busy blasting the new birth control regulation, are they even listening to the 99% of sexually-active women who use birth control? Might be surprised at what they find – the majority of Catholics are actually more supportive of the provision than the rest of the country." Planned Parenthood.
End the nonsense conversations about contraception.
