A talk on Edith Wharton landed me a stay at a mansion that has both a climbing wall and a ropes course, which feels actually thoroughly Gilded Age.

Looking down the servant stairs at The Elms, in Newport, RI.

For "backstage" stairs, they are quite fancy, but they are dreadfully uncomfortable to climb; the rise/run ratio is way off. Can't imagine climbing up and down those with a full plate of food (which they didn't do, because there was a dumbwaiter).

This was exacerbated by Reagan and Bush with the born from flawed reasoning. The rich will NEVER redistribute their wealth.

FDR proposed age limits on judges - which was just a roundabout way of forcing the retirement of the long-serving judges who'd been appointed by the plutocrats whose greed had precipitated the . Forcing retirements on the would open up seats for FDR to fill.

Today's blog. Historic Photo: the aftermath of the Blizzard of 1888 in New York City, which happened 135 years ago this week. This legendary storm buried the Northeast and its snowfall in the city wasn't matched until the great Christmas storm of 1947. I love this pic. Article is for subscribers but not paywalled.

We've been in similar conditions before, and the pendulum swung toward progress.
We must keep pushing for justice, equality, and freedom. We are due for another pendulum swing.

For my reader buddies, there's a sneak peek excerpt of Shana Abe's An American Beauty on AMZ (coming April 25).

I've never seen (or at least I've never noticed) a publisher do a separate excerpt on AMZ if it's not in Buzz Books. Interesting!

I have spent the last day or so reading up on Victoria Woodhull, the first woman to run for President, and am now basically obsesssed. Her and Tennessee. What a pair. Why has no one made a miniseries out of them?
