✨Fairytale Friday✨

This week’s tale takes us to sun-drenched plazas, Moorish castles, and enchanted olive groves…

Favorite Fairy Tales Told in Spain gathers beloved Spanish folk tales retold by Virginia Haviland (1911-1988), an American librarian and writer, who was an international authority in children’s literature. A part of Haviland’s celebrated international Favorite Fairy Tales series, this volume brings Spain’s oral storytelling heritage to life. The work features illustrations by Barbara Cooney (1917-2000), an American illustrator and writer of 110 children’s books.  In 1994, Cooney was nominated as the U.S. candidate for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award, in recognition of her work as a children's book illustrator. Our first edition copy was published in 1963 by Little, Brown and Company.

From clever shepherds to magical birds, these stories blend wonder and wit with the warmth of a long-told tradition.

We have this interesting situation where we basically no longer have privacy nor the expectation of privacy, but we also don't have community or meaningful connection with others, so we're all simultaneously both completely exposed and absolutely alone, and please understand that when I say this situation is "interesting", what I in fact mean is that it's "nightmarish and I wish I could wake up"

“Democrats on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations yesterday released a jaw-dropping report attempting to document the scope and scale of financial waste, personnel upheaval, and human suffering caused by the so-called Department of Government Efficiency and Elon Musk’s giddily uninformed strike force of Peter Thiel acolytes. In all, the Democrats, led by Richard Blumenthal (CT), estimated DOGE cost the government $21.7 billion. “DOGE-generated waste could also have easily funded monthly food assistance for the 5.3 million families losing an average of $146 in monthly food security assistance ($9.3 billion per year) under the new budget; or it could have been used more broadly to support the 40 percent of taxpayers that will see a net increase to their taxes as a direct result of the Trump tax plan,” the report contends.”
