I woke up this morning to the news that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died. What a incredible person she was, a qutb of her country in this age.
She leaves behind an abiding sense of fear and dread. It is going to be a terrible few months up to the election, and to the inauguration, should Biden win. And after, if the result is disputed, and if it goes to the Supreme Court. An incredibly dangerous time for America and the world, and one that makes me want to go to hibernate till February. (As though history will come to an end, hah.)
What a time to be alive.
