I am a voracious reader of fiction, memoirs, some history, art, nature. I am trying to redirect my life away from social justice action and institutions and just to being kind to the people in my life and spending more time with friends.

Why could we not tax this at 100%? For every $ over $2,000 spent on an election and or PAC every individual and corporation should be required to pay 100% to the Federal Government for Federal Elections to States, Counties, or Cities for elections.

I have forgotten to post books I have read in a while. thatโ€™s life with fatigue and brain fog I guess. Plus, I can even remember what I read other than Elinor Lipmanโ€™s new book, Every Tom, Dick and Harry. Hopefully, when I finish my current book you will get a brief report

Sure to LC brain fog I have started but not finished several books. This one I finished and recommend. An imaginative, poignant, and uplifting look at Hillaryโ€™s life if she never married Bill. Unfortunately for me, her relationship with Bill reminded me of my first marriage.

As a Jew, I was very uncomfortable with the antisemitism being displayed in many of, what I considered pro-Hamas as opposed to pro-Palestinian, protests. That said. WTF? Detaining, potentially expelling, a legal permanent resident for utilizing first amendment rights is unconcionable.

If this is the case then clearly we need to return NM, AZ and Southern California to Mexico. After all they speak Spanish there

Mollie Panter-Downesโ€˜ book Godd Evening, Mrs. Craven

This is so wonderful. And very funny too. I only knew Mollie Panter-Downesโ€˜ One Fine Day which I loved. This is different in tone but so well observed.

The last 3 books Iโ€™ve read and another Val McDermid Darker Domain (forgot to take a photo before putting in the little free library across the street). As you can see this is the reading of somebody with brain fog. I didnโ€™t have to think too hard especially with One Day. #longcovid

Mostly, itโ€™s sad. President of the US and still needs constant affirmation. Sadder still that so many people donโ€™t understand that and support him. Of course, all our allies and adversaries see it.

Iโ€™ve been reading a few headlines and 1st paragraphs in papers that sound as if the reporters have drunk the KoolAid. But as you continue to read the story does moves on to the truth. Wondering if itโ€™s a form of resistance knowing that t acolytes wonโ€™t read beyond that 1st paragraph

Musk is the proverbial bull in the china shop. He has no clue of the value of all that he is destroying. But he doesnโ€™t care because all of us will be paying. Not him
