Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If I dream of something, it's a coalition and solidarity of moderates and liberals against far-right and militants, Jewish or Arab.
I'm not sure how this will come about but it is the only solution I see. Those who remain in power only by heightened conflict will never seek peaceful solutions.
Sounds great to me.
Oh dear, Rosalynn Carter has died. What admirable lives she and her husband have led.
True. Admirable and long.
Shir, I so desperately want the world that you're describing, and don't know how to get there from the one we have. Keep checking in even when it feels like just doing that is the most you can do <3
And on a totally different subject, I've been a Rosalynn fangirl for as long as I've been a fan of Jimmy, which is to say since I was not quite 6. Long enough and early enough that they've always felt sort of like political surrogate grandparents. Rest and respect for a great one.
Timelies all!
I’m so sorry, Nora

This has to be the way. My close friend Alison's sister (Amanda) helped form an interfaith Arab-Jewish group of women in New Jersey some years ago, and I know that's been healing for her community and there is a lot of common ground.
This is a place where I really wish women could lead, and probably will be the solution. People who can say "Killing children and innocents is NEVER justified. And people who justify that action are terrorists and war criminals."
I just don't know how we get to that place.
The Omar answer: A day at a time, I suppose.
the persistent headache persists so she sent me to X-ray for my neck. Aside from normal wear and tear, there's no obvious cause. It's a thing, it has been a thing, and looks like it will be a thing unless somebody comes up with a magic no-headache remedy.
That would be magic. I too would take that pill. I’m sorry you are suffering.
Losing a parent is a very particular sort of loss.
It truly is.
I’m so sorry, Nora. You are loved and supported here.

They led amazing lives.
He’s been on hospice care for a while so I expect that he will follow now that he’s held the door open for Rosalynn.
Tim's co-workers gave him a gift card to Red Lobster after his surgery, and Tim decided that's where he wanted to have his birthday dinner tonight. They no longer have hush puppies! What a paradigm shift. They had really good brussels sprouts, though.
