Happy Ruination Day Bucks! I loved this meditation on apocalypse and other motivations and do every year. As my friend Nguhi recently said, “if we’re in the ‘bad place,’ ala The Good Place, we might as well be inspired to make art and show up for one another.”
"I only have direct relationships with a fraction of the human beings with whom I share all this world, but I want all of us to come out of this moment safe and loved." That's the thought that keeps me walking this world ...
What a post! That description of the wall of dust, wow. And you make a really good point that we shouldn’t wait to realize our connections with our neighbors.
A beautiful, compelling case for action. Thank you. Taking this quote to heart today - a picturesque blue sky Sunday in Baltimore:
“There is a gift, however, in recognizing that the dust is already swirling around us. It means that we don't have to wait to care for one another.”
Reminds me of piece of advice overheard at a party last night, “start before you’re ready”.
Happy Ruination Day!

Ruination Day has been in my calendar for the past 2 years, since I started reading this newsletter. thank you for this among many other gifts!
I’ve just ordered your book on the strength of this urgent and beautiful post. Thank you, and Happy Ruination Day to you.
It's my favorite uncle's birthday: he's 73.
Looking at Le Wique, though, I see some additional noteworthy items: failure of the Hauser Dam, storm with 1 kg hailstones in Bangladesh, Russia invades Ukraine. And this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1561_celestial_phenomenon_over_Nuremberg
