Was introduced to this song. Give it a listen. Read the lyrics.
Billy Bragg - Waiting for the Great Leap Forwards
"One leap forward, two leaps back
Will politics get me the sack?
Here comes the future and you can't run from it
If you've got a blacklist I want to be on it."
2026 is three weeks old and already Billy Joel could write an entire We Didn’t Start the Fire about it

Prayer for Uninteresting Times Send me a slow news day, a quiet, subdued day, in which nothing much happens of note, save for the passing of time, the consumption of wine, and a re-run of Murder, She Wrote. Grant me a no news day, a spare-me-your-views day, in which nothing much happens at all, except a few hours together some regional weather, a day we can barely recall. Brian Bilston

Today's BOOK HAUL!!! I went to my local indie book seller (Marigold’s Bookstore) for ONE book. I left with SIX. Went to Ollie’s for ONE book. I left with THREE (really just two if you don’t count the tarot deck). My book club is full of enablers, and I have 0% self control. 😆 #bookhaul #books

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.
Not me matching my outfit, makeup, and jewelry to the cover of the book we are discussing at book club tonight. I’m also getting ready to make a ton of baked potatoes. 🥔🚀🧑🚀 iykyk #reading #currentread #themartian #andyweir

today was hard
For a New Beginning by John O'Donohue, Irish poet
(Part 6/6) #poetry #irishpoetry #poem
Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
For a New Beginning by John O'Donohue, Irish poet
(Part 5/6) #poetry #irishpoetry #poem
Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.
For a New Beginning by John O'Donohue, Irish poet
(Part 4/6) #poetry #irishpoetry #poem
Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.
