"Why do we–those whom the dementia activist Morris Friedell terms the ‘temporarily able-brained’--need them to vanish? And what possibilities are we precluding, what hard work of the soul are we avoiding, by imposing this distance?" @casteelharper courtney.substack.com/p/forgetting-a…

AMA (Ask Me Anything) at my newsletter today if anyone's got a thing they'd like to explore with me. courtney.substack.com/p/lord-increas…

Congrats Natalie! Sounds like an amazing group of humans and ideas you've assembled.
