Right?! So far- no issues. We do have nexus. But I am very nervous about the next trip back over after the break…

Trump is unleashing sadism upon the world. But we cannot get overwhelmed | Judith Butler Those who celebrate his defiance and sadism are as claimed by his logic as those who are paralyzed with outrage

The always amazing Judith Butler www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything."

was mostly keeping it together until I read Kyle MacLachlan's tribute to David Lynch

Piano roll of “Laura Palmer’s Theme” from Twin Peaks. The visual representation of two mountain peaks in the music was a “cosmic” coincidence which shocked both Lynch and Badalamenti when they discovered it

Composer Nadia Boulanger, whose students included Aaron Copland, Philip Glass, and Quincy Jones, said this about composing, but it applies well to all kinds of writing: "Write down lots of notes but keep only those that matter." I'm going to go write down lots of words and keep those that matter.

Good thread. It’s resonating on my end. You got this ✊

Exactly. 💔

Thanks to Tim Mah and John McCaslin for including my album, “Magpie,” on this fabulous list!

Same! Good mindset! Merry Christmas 🎄

Whaaaat?! I’m sorry you went through that and then received THAT. We really are lucky with our Canadian health care, as much as our system is a mess. Get well soon 💚

Pick a TV show, keep one actor, the rest are Muppets.
