@suzania What is it, 9 of 10 suicide survivors don't go on to die of suicide? Is that what the Harvard study found? It's horrifying that we're assuming that everyone who seeks euthanasia is acting without being terribly influenced by poverty, illness, loneliness, pressure, etc.

@suzania Did you see the AP report about the woman who sought euthanasia because she couldn't stand the idea of going through another COVID isolation lockdown, and the nursing home allowed her family to come to the death but wouldn't let them visit her to help her want to stay alive?

Friend who I deeply respect passed away yesterday, and mom's back in the hospital with possibly an emergency surgery coming up. Life is short, dears, and not at all guaranteed. Hug your loved ones today and thank God for them!

It's interesting how many folks engaged with this. The loss of folk culture hits us in our hearts. Even if we don't know exactly what is missing, we know some human inheritance has not come down to us. Feasts, dances, songs, poems, plays... we all need to tell our local story.

The restoration of American society depends on a renewal of folk culture at the lowest possible levels: families, parishes, blocks, neighborhoods. Get together. Make things. Tell your stories well. Create local cults, with festivals. Honor small things greatly.
