Rushdie said it can be difficult to write about peace while living in a time of “inexcusable violence,” including the conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan. “A book cannot stop a bullet. A poem cannot intercept a bomb,” he said.

One does not want to agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene, but she is right in this case that all the Epstein files should be released. I don't like her use of the term "insane," and I most emphatically disapprove of the President's calling people "stupid." WORDS DO THINGS.

Looks like this fine flock needs to find a new home soon. I'm sorry to say we seem to have failed at homesteading! Well, one can't do it all. Writing, researching, editing, teaching, speaking, thinking, dancing, cooking, cleaning, trying to stay alive and thrive.... It's all too much!

Me: Does Tolkien actually say that elves have pointed ears?
Friends: He says they have leaf-shaped ears.
Me: Like oak leaves? ginkgo leaves? marijuana leaves?
The Internet: <does not disappoint>

I am amused that Facebook made me take down an image of the cover of Aleister Crowley's MOONCHILD. I told you it was the wickedest book in the world. But I am also not amused; FB allows horrifying content, refuses to take it down when I report it, but blocks nude fine art?

Good Monday Morning to you. What are you reading these days? I just finished MRS. DALLOWAY and might pick up another Lord Peter Wimsey for my fun before-bedtime book.
