    This was really amazing and so important especially now. Thank you for your honesty and courage to talk about what many people are feeling but afraid to admit.

    It has become clear to me that art is the last thing we have when all of humanity is lost.

      Science is necessary to save lives and change the concrete realities.
      Art is necessary for imagination, mental health, adding beauty and colours to our lives.

    In response to Anne's Bon Appetit article about junk food (since responding to that article directly was locked down), I have but one comment. Nobody is saying that junk food is defining anybody as a person. But it does contribute to diabetes, heart disease and weight gain. So when people stigmatize the food that makes Americans fat and on the path to death, then don't bother wasting your time with a lengthy article about how doing that is naughty, because that is stupid thought. Junk food = fat = death = BAD BAD BAD
    You get it now, Anne?
