Robin Morgan has died. I have warm memories of watching her as a child star, playing Dagmar on TV series I Remember Mama, and then becoming an early icon of the women’s movement. So many feminist heroines of that great generation passing! What can we do to commemorate them and ourselves?

Looking at Trump’s plans for a huge, gilded, and grotesque imperial arch in DC, and fearing he will also commission a huge seated self- statue and put it in the “Trump and Lincoln memorial”.

Blessings, culture warrior!
planning to attend "Tristan und Isolde" on Saturday: five hours, 27 minutes. pray for me. (yes, I've seen the opera before. for all its length it did not seem as long as "Marty Supreme.")
