  1. The #Marginalian, always fascinating:

    I’d long known that the lack of decent medical care for ordinary people was one of the main personal motivations behind Guevera’s revolutionary mission, in Cuba and elsewhere. I had not known that the latter positioned bodily health so centrally in his philosophy of socialism.

  2. JOY
    by Lisel Mueller, read by Nick Cave

    “Don’t cry, it’s only music,”
    someone’s voice is saying.
    “No one you love is dying.”

  3. Spell Against Indifference: A Poem

    Came across this poem from one of my favorite people , Maria Popover, this Sunday with a glimmer of hope the rays of the sun ☀️ will appear.

    Be sure to listen to the spoken version, accessible with the link below, and have a great day, even if the sun doesn’t appear ❤️

    "The rain falls and falls
    cool, bottomless, and prehistoric
    falls like night —
    not an ablution
    not a baptism
    just a small reason
    to remember
    all we know of Heaven…”
