Oof, indeed. A brilliant step from the tumult of the crowd to the silence of the auld path, from our own bright banter to these dead quiet words from the heart, silenced by the moon, by our own intoxications.

'Happily triggered' a lovely cross between 'trigger-happy' and thankful for an excuse to be reactionary and rageful, the snowflake cops.

Allez Vicky
Her skin so black
It absorbs the camera.
Her African face
Shiny and strange
Smiling and familiar.
She swings her racquet
And the Montreal crowd erupts
Their breath held back
By double fault
By black girl magic.
This country will claim you
It will eat you alive
The winner you hit
The history you made
Erased for the next right thing.
Here, the sky is so blue
So white and forgetful
Between islands of paint
We are always burying
What we cannot bear to see.

What Happened to the Women of #MeToo?
Tina Johnson accused Roy Moore of sexual assault. Then the world moved on, and left her behind.
This is just deeply depressing: women who spoke up during #MeToo often found their lives upended, as powerful men used defamation suits to target them, e.g. Roy Moore is still suing many of his accusers.

LeGuin wrote about the desire for 'unassailable safety' as one of the deep roots of evil, and I think about that a lot.

Pity the person who needs something from me
A highly unlikely series of events, with receipts.
I wrote about one of the strangest things that's ever happened to meโand it happened just last week. A story about doomed books, expectations that exceed others' capacities, and the profound intertwingled magic of humanity.
