Damn that serious tag. Sorry Madeline.
I'm tired of seeing people be shamed for what they did as stupid kids in a different time and place. I worry about the humor and honesty that will be lost in the fallout. I understand the urgency to end hate but can't look at history and think such measures will work. I love this verse from Jason Isbell, "I'm white man looking in a black man's eyes, wishing I'd never been one of the guys who pretended not to hear another white man's joke. Oh the times ain't forgotten."
The virus scare is truly wearing me down. A doctor looking at and x-ray of my back noticed my lungs and asked, your parents smoke? Asthma before I can remember and allergies from day one. Too look at me and follow me in the woods or one the river, you wouldn't know. But if I get the shit, I'm fucked. On top of that, the air was brown today. The stuff that sometimes blows in from Oklahoma is reddish and gone in an hour. Brown sky all day and a haze over the water. A pall on us from across the ocean.
