Open your eyes. See the person in front of you. He’s wearing a turban but he’s married to a hot chick.

Haunted by the passion and death of Elijah McClain two years ago. Today a grand jury indicted three police officers and two paramedics on 32 counts of assault, manslaughter, and negligent homicide.
On Aug 24 2019, Elijah McClain, 23, was detained and assaulted by Aurora, CO police while walking home with a bottle of ice tea. Within minutes he was dead. The official report reads like an account of a lynching. bit.ly/37DSJQb (art: Wm. McNichols).

Thrilled that "Ruth Burrows: Essential Writings" appears in Rowan Williams' list.
"I was delighted when a few years ago, this anthology of her writings appeared. And to my mind, she (RB) is really one of the greatest teachers of prayer in our own time." @RobertEllsberg

Watching a movie based on a Chekhov story and someone just casually got out a gun for tomorrow’s hunt … it’ll probably be fine

It’s the setup for a new Alanis Morissette song:
“It’s like when you waited your whole damn just life to meet the pope,
and he looks at your name tag and is like, ‘meh, nope.’
And isn’t it c’est la vie? Don’t you think? A little too c’est la vie.”
