Thanks for this critical reminder of the stakes. Really enjoy your reflections and the deep insights. Would love to be a paid subscriber, but 16 months without meaningful work (DoorDash doesn’t count, believe me) makes that an impossibility for now. Maybe next Memorial Day … if Substack is still allowed to exist! May love inform our discernment and heal our division as a people who have often claimed to be in pursuit of a more perfect union. It is the only hope for humanity’s future (not to mention the third rock from the sun that is good enough to sustain our being, despite our ingratitude).
Notes From The Circus has become an important touchstone for me and I hope to reup my subscription. I'm lacking income, like you Jonah. I'll send you one of the gift subscriptions :)
<rant-ish> I ended up on a RIF list at a healthcare tech company in late '23 and it's been rough. I know I'm old (57) but JFC I still need to earn a living. </rant-ish>
I will show my age and ask what “<rant-ish>” is or how it works? I ask because rant-ish is becoming my defining characteristic as feelings bubble up from the fear, anger and perplexing nature of the world in which we live right now. Also, unemployment in one’s 50s is awful!
We live for what they died for. We live what they left behind. Let's fulfill the lives and dreams that were lost -- ours and theirs, together. Our community of saints.

Messaged you to explain.
Thank you, Mike❤️
Trump at Arlington pretending to care about those he called”suckers and losers”. The corrupt coward all puffed up all the time!
Indeed
We live for what they died for. We live what they left behind. Let's fulfill the lives and dreams that were lost -- ours and theirs, together. Our community of saints.
