“This nightmare in New Zealand feels unfathomable. Except it isn’t. The hate that killed Muslims praying in Christchurch is the hate that killed Jews praying in Pittsburgh is the hate that killed African Americans praying in Charleston is the hate that killed Sikhs praying in Wisconsin. If we don’t face white supremacy it will destroy all of us. Please God, let all of us who know the pain of being targeted for who we are have patience with each others’ imperfections. So we can join together. And be safe together. And get free together.”

— Rabbi Mike Rothbaum

when joyce carol oates said “not to expect others to value what you’ve done as you value it. not to expect anyone else to perceive in it the emotions you have invested in it. once this is understood, all will be well. not indifference, not apathy—but self-containment.”

u ever wish u could be a medieval monk and just illuminate a manuscript….like i feel like all of my worldly troubles would be solved if i could copy the aeneid by hand and then draw a knight fighting a snail in the margins

A friend of mine has a cottage by the coast. Said we can borrow it when you’re next on leave. White clapboard with blue-painted window frames.

Here. Something to think of while you’re away.
