Quote of the Day (Ginia Bellafante, on Kate Spade’s ‘Old Loyalties and New Aspirations’)
“A Catholic schoolgirl from Kansas City, Mo., with a
degree from Arizona State and a father who was in construction, Ms. Spade
transcended her background in ways that are not easily possible in the most
rarefied corners of Manhattan life. It is hard not to wonder what kind of toll
it takes to merge past selves with present identities, to hold on to old
loyalties and new aspirations. Someday Kate Spade might have told us, or maybe,
in the end, she did.”— Ginia Bellafante, “Big City: The Unsustainable Toll of Being Kate Spade,” The New York Times, June 10, 2018
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
