Fireworks Season Gets an Early Start
Hello, Readers All,
Pick your reason but we seem to having a LOT more street fireworks action this year than I can ever remember and it’s earlier. There’s a call and response pattern to the explosions. One set of guys (yes, I am gender-profiling) will set off their rockets and a couple of blocks away another array explodes. And with every blast, dogs in all the surrounding buildings lose their minds barking.
It’s going to be a long, weird summer.
I held off on writing about this topic for a long time not wanting to come off as another nice white lady-writer saying all the right things. I may have handled it clumsily but judging from some of the (ugly, ignorant) comments, I also may have actually struck a nerve.

A recent interaction in Central Park got me thinking again about the need to share resources and how the pathological hoarding of them is killing all of us, including the hoarders. Dummies.

I have a couple of push-button rants and this is one of my more recent and indepth articulations of my despair that this damned species will ever get its shit together.

Curmudgeonly as I can get, remember how happy I am that you subscribed to my newsletter. Like really very happy. And happy to see that week by week more of you are actually opening the email and, who knows, even reading some of this work.
Oh, thank you!
