Sex with Shakespeare

Posted onMarch 3, 2016February 7, 2019 By David Perry

Jillian Keenan, one of my favorite writers, has a new book: Sex with Shakespeare. The blurb: When it came to understanding love, a teenage Jillian Keenan had nothing to guide her—until a production of The Tempest sent Shakespeare’s language flowing through her blood for the first time. In Sex with Shakespeare, she tells the story … Continue ReadingSex with Shakespeare

"This isn’t about justice, although justice should be the aspirational goal. President Trump is going to exit the White House with an unprecedented flurry of preemptive pardons for everyone who might possibly implicate him in anything. President-elect Biden has indicated he’ll let the Justice Department decide who to prosecute, but I’m skeptical this will happen. Influential voices are lining up against prosecuting Trump. Biden is wary that prosecutions would be a distraction. And after all, Nixon was pardoned, Iran-Contra forgotten, and Obama famously chose to “look forward, not backwards,” when choosing not to investigate the Bush-era use of torture. Letting Republican administrations off the hook for malfeasance has been common, but not in the end restorative."

As Trump and Barr ramp up executions, Biden must rally America to end the death penalty

"The American people have spoken and elected Joe Biden to be our next president. In a civilized country, the process of smoothly handing over power from one side to the other would consist, at the bare minimum, of precluding irrevocable decisions by the outgoing administration. Attorney General William Barr’s reaction: Kill as many people as he can as quickly as possible.

The Trump administration’s final spasms of state murder make one thing clear: Biden must abolish the federal death penalty. Every state should follow suit. No longer should lives be subject to the political whims of prosecutors, judges and rogue outgoing presidents."

"There's good news. Vaccines are coming and there's hope that by next August we might be in a different place, somewhere back near normal, when my son starts his freshman year of high school. But we haven't had normal school since March and the education gaps are beginning to show. We ultimately have to choose: bars and gyms or schools and daycares?"

Opinion: Keep schools open -- and shut down almost everything else
We know more lockdowns are coming in the US; it's time to choose wisely between bars and restaurants and schools and daycares, says David Perry, whose son tested positive for Covid-19 after attending school in-person to get the services he needs as an autistic teen with Down Syndrome.
