1.) Is this the first Friday Reflections of the year? Oh jeez...I just checked and yes, it is. Well, better late than never.
2,) Female 4-star GENERALS and ADMIRALS talk about their formidable rise in the military.
3.) The most hated person on wall street.
4.) In Good American Family, Ellen Pompeo leaves the hospital.
5.) I've been thinking a lot about something and mused a bit about it on Instagram yesterday. Something rather puzzling about how new immigrants (not first gens, or second gens, or descendant of immigrants) who immigrate to a new country (America, Canada, England), and once they get there they immediately become so viciously anti-immigration themselves. What is the rationale there? Because cruelty is too simplistic an answer. You get into this new home country and immediately star aligning with politicians and political parties that espouse hate against YOUR kind. It's so confounding as to defy logic. It can't simply be hate or bigotry...so it's something else, right?
6.) How a son spent a year trying to save his father from conspiracy theories.
7.) Chimamanda thinks we should end cancel culture.
8.) Speaking of Chimamanda. I recently heard her say something about how she was/is so deeply loved by her parents and family that she doesn't need to campaign for anyone else's love. And I realized oh crap, that's me. I have so much love in my life, it feels like such a waste of time to be campaigning for love "outside." If you love me, ok cool. If you don't, ok cool. And by God, this triggers people so so much. Why?
9.)Viola Davis jumped out of a plane to one-up her daughter's nanny.
10.) I've actually been doing a lot of writing on the blog, surprisingly. Here, I defend Church. Then I share what makes a hopeless Saturday bearable. Then I talk about the formidable Cory Booker. And here I remind you to fight and tell you how to. And of course, it wouldn't be Modern Cedar without books and more books! Jeez and it's only just May! Almost reminds me of the OG days of this blog when I cranked out essays and blogs like I was on drugs lol.
Have the most delightful weekend, friends.
Love,
I
