For Wendell Berry · 9d ago

I met Wendell once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.

For Zhu Rongji · 23d ago

The minefield quote. The coffin quote. Guy didn't do subtlety. You had to respect the commitment to the bit, even if half the country's grandparents lost their jobs under him.

For Yayoi Kusama · 26d ago

In memory

My dad introduced me to Yayoi's work when I was a kid. We talked about it for hours. Today I'm thinking of both of them.

For Florence Nightingale · 1 Mar 2026

A life fully lived. Thank you, Florence.

For Diego Maradona · 25 May 2025

What they gave us

Rest well, Diego. The work is done, and it was good.

For Chuck Berry · 9 May 2025

There are people you assume will always be there. Losing Chuck feels like losing a piece of the furniture of the world.

For Maggie Smith · 30 Apr 2025

I met Maggie once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.
