Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Amoral Huey

we are consumed by the ordinariness of our desire or whatever


who has time for want has want for time
time and want and all that all that whatever
whatever we carry around in our only bodies like small caged animalsβ€”
not rabbits or gerbils but undomesticated things
all tooth and claw and scrabble
scrabbling to escape the trap of our skinβ€”
o let usβ€” let us--
let us set free our tiny beasts of desire and then whatβ€”
you tell us tell us world-then what

It’s so important to know what your values are right now. Have more than a good guess about what they might be. Have a plan to defend them.
