You have nailed it, my friend. I am not sure where to archive our accumulated wisdom, but archive it we should. An Owl Sanctuary sounds like a plan to me but I will pass on putting the word Christian at the beginning of the title for the place. I am appalled by the values espoused by the Christian right movement, and its blithe endorsement of the current American political administration. Some day, our collected wisdom, what we thought and felt and remembered about the current mess and how it came about will be needed by those working to restore common sense, tolerance, decency and probity. What we know will be invaluable to those who come after us.
Thanks, Cate. I just tacked "Christian" onto my clandestine fake owl sanctuary as additional camouflage. To be fair, the savagely wacko "religious right" has poisoned the term, "Christian," which is a shame. The millions of rational, thoughtful people who identify with the term need to rise up in outrage to reclaim it.
Well, of course that might work, Abbie, but—hope springing eternal and dope being largely out of the question at 80 (that’s me, you’re older 😂), I think I would be more in favor of The Wise Owl Mathematics And Sentence Diagramming Society. We could even have The Cursive Chapter, The Common Sense & Sensibility Chapter and The Poetry of Sappho Chapter (Reformed…or not) and finally the MIMS (Make It Make Sense) Chapter. Under the umbrella auspices of The Wise Owl Mathematics and Sentence Diagramming Society, I believe we could, uh, “preserve” the ‘eyewitness’ histories, ramblings and rantings for all posterity. There WILL BE a posterity, won’t there? Thanks for showing up again with your mostly perfect answer to everything—with the droll humor to make it…almost serious again! 🥰Great to see you!/tarra
T.T., this is delightful! There will only be a posterity if we make it and hide it, I think. Maybe just writing it in cursive would be sufficient? Or in diagrammed sentences? I covered miles of blackboard with those back when we still taught English. But I've had the most fun trying to define the parameters of orthodox and reformed Sapphic poetry analysis. Thanks for that!
One of the most realistic commentaries especially for women that I have ever read as we're trying to live in this fascist Society and specifically of the war and erasure of women .I call it eugenics not even covert I am old and have the freedom of understanding there is no unified response in my years.
I'm in gratitude to the writers musicians,
The Poets and the filmmakers who are bearing witness in "these times "with unique

Oh Abbie, I love TT's suggestion for the name!

You always manage to say so eloquently what I wish I could say half as well. Thank you.
Thanks, Jo, but your eloquence is magical!
