Thank you to everyone who has been inquiring about my hometown of Washington, DC and how we, the ppl, (and things) are here. As a student of history, the actions of this administration are not a surprise. That doesn't mean this isn't shocking. It is. It feels like there's a void in leadership. 1/2

In The Handmaid’s Tale, the Commanders preach purity but sneak off to brothels. It’s not fiction, it’s a mirror. The most repressed are often the most controlling. If they just let themselves enjoy life, maybe they wouldn’t burn the world trying to punish everyone else for enjoying it.
