Buy a book.

Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.

Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

The blessed George Harrison died far too early 24 years ago today, aged 58.

We can honor suffering without turning every emotional wound into trauma. This is how.
How Trauma Culture Undermines Resilience
Personal Perspective: Calling every wound “trauma” may feel supportive—but it can weaken resilience. A more precise lens helps people heal without losing their sense of strength.

The president of the United States, when asked about his documented friendship with a convicted sex offender, replied, “Quiet, piggy.”

We’re done asking why sexual assault survivors don’t come forward, right?

Heidi Stevens: After Trump’s ‘Quiet, piggy’ moment, we’re done asking why survivors don’t come forward, right?
If we’re going to become a nation that truly protects children and women, we have to stop giving a pass to sexual abusers, writes Heidi Stevens.
