The Problem Is the Human Finger “At the end of the day, the problem is the human heart. It’s not guns. It’s not the weapons.” — Speaker of the House Mike Johnson - - -The problem ...

"The problem is the human finger. Fingers are too well-engineered to fit around the trigger of an assault weapon. On other planets, life forms have fingers with no joints that are only straight. You don’t hear about gun violence on any of those planets."

A fun game is to think about this cumulative suffering and lost talent inflicted by sexism against women around the world, across the eons of human life, and slowly sink into an awed horror and grief from which you can’t emerge for a whole afternoon.

“Yogurt Days,” by Jamie Quatro I wondered if my mother had been risking her life to come here every week, to bring him the yogurt.

“When I was eight a prostitute came to live in our pool house. I use that term—“prostitute”—because that was what she called herself. Her name was Nan.”
