tarot is great because it's never pretending to be something it's not. the cards are just prisms to look at your life through, but YOU are doing the work

You have chosen to write a book about liberalism at a time when liberalism is under threat without really talking about what those threats are. It’s more of a positive case for liberalism.

To say that there are these people and they have names and they are doing and saying awful things would be, for me, unpleasant.

this is really what it all boils down to, huh?

ahhh what a beautiful compliment, thank you so much!

2) plug pagemelt.zone/rss.xml into your reader's "add feed" input
3) see updates from me 😇
