From Meet Me At The Crossroads by Megan Giddings
Anthony felt the United States's biggest export was cults. Racism, capitalism at the expense of the planet's health, trucks that were so big you couldn't even see if a small child was crossing the street, not wanting to look at the truth of any situation unless the truth benefited you, the militias in the upper peninsula- those were cults. He was resentful, too, of all the cults in the news again. It seemed like thin white women with ghost blue eyes were always writing their novels about them and then going on early morning television to say things about death and dead actresses. There was the cult that a D-list celebrity had gotten into, filled with weird sex and what sounded like a lot of pressure to do Pilates.

Waiting for the Barbarians
Because the barbarians are coming today. Because the barbarians are coming today and the emperor’s waiting to receive their leader. Because the barbarians are coming today and things like that dazzle the barbarians. Because night has fallen and the barbarians haven't come.

Let me even offer one practical place to start. In honor of the late Brian Thompson’s life, and in the hope that no leader ever meets such an awful fate again, let us immediately pass universal, publicly provided healthcare once and for all.
