This IS terrific, Kendall! I have lots to dive into. I always get SO much from WCDHT and that particular episode I missed so I'll be sure to give it a listen. My brains are kind of mushy right now so no recommendations, yet appreciate yours. I'll chime in at some point of that you can be certain. 🤣 Big love dear friend. I'm still reeling over the found sapphire, just sayin'. ❤️🔥
I have been obsessed with the erosion of our civil liberties, specifically how The Patriot Act, signed 23 years ago, opened the door for all kinds of invasive legislation. I've been taking a deep dive into Homeland Security and the FBI's raids on Sean "Ditty" Combs homes, his recent arrest, and denial for bail. On the one hand, it appears as though he's done some horrible things, (still innocent until proven guilty) but does that justify stripping his (and our) 4th Amendment rights?
Eric Adams, mayor of NYC was just indicted this morning on corruption charges, which again may be true. However, when I look at all the shady politicians and horrible people in the music industry and see the FBI is focusing millions of dollars in resources and human (man)power to take down two Black men, the hairs on the back of my neck stick up. Yeah, I'm also a little nuts. 🤣
Wow, this is fascinating, Amy! I've only been aware of this on the periphery, and now I feel like doing a deep dove of my own. Or maybe you should write about it! I'm in. 😉
Great recs! Love the variety and depth. Now I have plenty to keep me occupied on my daily walks. I too fell off the WCDHT wagon a bit of late and need to get back in.
There are so many things about this letter that have got me in deep feels, the shout out, the love, the concept of RELIABLY KIND?! On a T-Shirt too?! Kendall.
I want to read Virgil VERY BADLY now and have added to the list.
Your newsletter recs are impeccable (Raising Miles this week was Nobel Prize worthy) and your podcast list?! Thank you so much, so dearly, for sharing your glimmering moments with us.
Library trips look quite similar over here- and I LOVE THAT YOU SHARE that cover art matters! It matters to me too! You want to pull us in? MAKE A COVER THAT CATCHES OUR 👀!!
I love you, I love every person here, past, present & future readers of your work.

Big live back to you, and ditto to both the mushy brain feeling AND still reeling over the sapphire. 😂❤️💫
I agree with Bonnie, great recs!
