Congratulations. And happy writing.

Don't know about Bari's social issues. What I do know is whenever I read or listened to her, I found her reasoning full of holes, thus not worth my time.

Oh my gosh, thank you for posting this. I love Beth Macy.

You've poured yr heart & soul into this being for 18 yrs. Now you're to trust his well-being to the decisions of 18-year-old kid (him). Ceremonies mark his move to a new life stage. Nothing marks yours. You are happy & proud he is independent. But there's a sense of loss too. Been there.

And thanks to Governor Stein for guaranteeing our access here in North Carolina.

Noticed Jen Psaki said that too. Made my heart sink when heard Chris repeating. Wonder if ordered to be dishonest by corporate. Sad.

That is amazing. What a commentary on our world.

Thank you for this.

Oh my gosh, read her book and learned so much. This is going to be a great event.

You miss the point. Why would they let themselves be used this way? What's their legacy now?

Hooray!

Don’t forget honest. They don’t like bureaucrats who happen to have professional integrity.

National news interviewed people from my hometown, Uniontown, after 2016. They were excited about Trump bringing coal back. I felt so sad.

I grew up in SW Pa in the 70s. Same. It was so usual we children didn’t even bat an eye at the situation.

Will we be renting the White House out for weddings?

Why is his picture on the USDA building? Is it the only building with such a banner? Or are they all over DC?

I was a literature major who took geology and physics as electives. Both brought new ways of thinking and seeing into my life.

So much despair for our country in the comments to this essay.

Why is caregiving so hard in America? The answers emerge in a new film A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S. revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.

Remember when our great concern was the price of eggs? FAFO.

This is excellent listening. Learned so much.

This was so interesting. Thank you for this interview.

Oh my god. What isn’t my responsibility these days? BlueSky’s business plan is up to BlueSky.

Remind me not to get into an argument with Kate Shaw. Spectacular.

Wow. Subscribed yesterday. Put you over the top. 🤓

Life's issues didn't disappear. Sharing how you managed and the truth of addiction & dementia helps others just as much—if not more so—than political commentary (though I love your commentary). Keep writing & talking Molly Jong-Fast. Look forward to reading this book.

Newsflash for McCormick: able-bodied working men need healthcare too. Often, often employers don’t provide it, and workers don’t earn enough to afford the exchanges.

This Memorial Day message and the transcript of his address at West Point should be run in full on the front page of the NYT, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal—and every local paper in the U.S.
