That's courage.

The Mickey Mouse makes me think of Sang-ah Choi's painting "Welcome to America": https://collections.maiermuseum.org/mDetail.aspx?rID=M.2011.4&db=objects&dir=maier&osearch=choi&list=res&rname=&rimage=&page=1

I wish there were a better image! It’s a large piece, very bold and engaging and…overwhelming. On purpose.

Actually, I was still putting off cancelling my WAPO subscription. No more. This made a difference to me.

Thank you, David, Dark. I needed this today! And, I did cancel my WAPO subscription recently.

The prophetic voice today needs to be heard much more than the voices who keep telling me that I need to reach out and try to understand those who support the Orange Idol.

Hurray for the prophetic voice. The prophetic task feels a little more immediate and specific and accessible to anyone anywhere at anytime.

I’ve been meaning to unsubscribe from the Washington Post. This got me to finally do it. So aggravating.

I think this cartoon is getting more visibility now than it would have if it had been allowed to run in the WaPo. I'm seeing it everywhere the last couple of days. I hope Ms. Telnaes is able to land a gig elsewhere soon.

The good news is that everything is slowly fading away. The bad news is that everything is fading away. The good news is that new stuff is coming. The bad news is that that too is fading away. What?

"You don't know what you had 'til it's gone! They paved Paradise Park and they put up a parking lot! Then, it is all looked-at closely by a higher group of observers before allowing stuff. Leaving is related to arriving at the next great adventure, even leaving terra firma:).
