This poem by William Stafford means so much to me. “Smoke Signals: A Dedication” opened Stafford’s book A Glass Face in the Rain, from 1982.

I hope it speaks to you, all of you who are going through the world, building your little fires.

Alamo Drafthouse is effectively abandoning its strict no-phones policy by introducing mobile ordering, normalizing phone use and weakening theater etiquette protections.

There has been far less coverage of Trump's corruption than I would have liked this year; nevertheless he is paying for it in polls.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

This is seriously creepy. My god. Her entire comms staff should either quit or be fired, depending.

Also I need this as an SNL skit.

This is one of my favorite photos of Mother and me. It was the last time I ever saw her sober, about 1991. There’s a clarity about her here and a sparkle in her eyes that had been a rarity in preceding years, and was never to be seen again subsequently.
