Mrs. Claus Keeps Changing โ€” And Itโ€™s Redefining Who Gets to Be Magical The 99th Macy's Thanksgiving Parade has made history once again, thanks to the first East Asian Mrs. Claus.

My friend Lainie was Mrs. Claus in this year's Macy's Parade, delighting some parents, enraging others. Meanwhile her ethnicity went absolutely unnoticed by the only people who matter: children. Kids don't care. Just let Santa and Mrs. Claus live their best lives at the North Pole.

I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. ๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿค

Present Tense
by Todd Dillard

My fatherโ€™s telling me about his dog,
how it fell into a well
when they were walking down a wooded path.
His dog ran across some rotted planks,
the planks splintered, โ€œAnd whoosh!โ€
my father says. โ€œNo more dog.โ€
I look at the clock and remind my father itโ€™s three A.M.
โ€œIโ€™m not finished,โ€ he says.
He tells me about the rope he bought, the bucket,
how he knotted the rope to the bucket, lowered it down,
and yelled for the dog to get in.
โ€œBut all I pulled up was more barking.โ€
โ€œDad,โ€ I say. โ€œThis never happened.โ€
He says he canโ€™t remember 
how long he tried to get the dog 
to shimmy into the bucket.
Just that at some point
when the sky turned tawnyโ€”โ€œDadโ€”โ€œ
as a pitcher of sweet teaโ€”โ€œDadโ€”โ€œ
he decided to give up.
โ€œDad,โ€ I say. โ€œItโ€™s late.
Iโ€™m tired. And youโ€™re dead.โ€
โ€œDammit, son,โ€ my father says. โ€œLet me finish!โ€
My father tells me about filling the bucket with dirt 
and pouring the dirt into the well.
And I know what heโ€™s getting at, I know
heโ€™s going to tell me bucket by bucket
he filled the well and 
the dog jumped out. Heโ€™s going to say
something about how the dog
led him home through the dark.
I know this so loudly I donโ€™t
hear, at first, my fatherโ€™s silence.
โ€œDad?โ€ I say. โ€œDad, are you there?โ€
I keep lowering the bucket
but all I ever pull up are leaves.
Red leaves. Lately, some gold.
