Thank you for your lovely lily and good wishes. My family never celebrated Easter as a religious holiday, but we always dyed eggs which were “mysteriously” hidden with chocolates and jelly beans which we had to search for on Sunday morning. So many memories.
I look forward to seeing you soon and recommend a new place I’ve discovered called Chez Shea for lunch. Good veggie recipes–there might be meat, too; I haven’t noticed.

“I want my friends to understand that “staying out of politics” or being “sick of politics” is privilege in action. Your privilege allows you to live a non-political existence. Your wealth, your race, your abilities or your gender allows you to live a life in which you likely will not be a target of bigotry, attacks, deportation, or genocide. You don’t want to get political, you don’t want to fight because your life and safety are not at stake.

“It is hard and exhausting to bring up issues of oppression (aka “get political”). The fighting is tiring. I get it. Self-care is essential. But if you find politics annoying and you just want everyone to be nice, please know that people are literally fighting for their lives and safety. You might not see it, but that’s what privilege does.” / Kristen Tea, motherwiselife.org

“To paraphrase Tolstoy, you many not be interested in war, conflict, environmental injustice, and human rights abuses, but they are interested in you. They stalk everyone.” / Jamie Dedes
