Two children in a thick forest on the cover of “Hansel & Gretel” written by Stephen King, illustrated by Maurice Sendak
King has collaborated with Sendak illustrations and a truly Grimm story, writing a very excellent version of Hansel & Gretel. For any young reader who begs for a bit of a scare, this will thrill. It’s on the edge of gory, & coupled with Sendak’s work, makes for an excellent read.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Those of us who grew up with grandparents tattooed with numbers from wrist to elbow crook should know precisely what happens when people allow a murderous regime to shame and blame some "other" in order to seize and hold power.
I forgot that! Sounds very much like something he would say. ❤️ to you all.
Thank you for a moment of laughter in my morning doomscroll.
It's Miller time.
Fire, arrest and try them all. We must keep our sites set on the architect of the hate fueled violence.
