It's all connected. the need to "wake up" strikes me as especially poignant right now. thanks for all that fodder! i forgot how much I enjoy your blog. will be better about coming back. haven’t been here in a while so just doing some catch-up reading. can’t help but note the connections between your recent posts: racism – in the backyard or at the olympics, coupled with random gun violence perpetrated primarily by frustrated emasculated white men, neighborhoods divided along lines of race and class, the problem of poverty, the eruption of tragedy, the delusion of and desire for control.

Two nights ago our around the corner neighbor said that his nieces and nephews were flinging their bodies around on the bed, imitating Gabby. He was proud, but also recognized that maybe flinging themselves on the bed wasn't a great idea. (And I guess it matters here that our neighborhood is quite diverse, meaning the white gentrifiers haven't completely taken over.) Gabby has been hugely popular in our neighborhood.
