Dear Listeners, the day after the 2024 Presidential Election many people were (are) feeling a WAY. So we decided to make a very special episode of Finding Good Bones, in case you need help sitting with the dark and looking towards the light. Kate and Amy bring some of the pieces speaking to them right now: “Hope Is the Thing With Feathers” by Emily Dickinson, “Hope Is Not a Bird, Emily, It’s a Sewer Rat” by Caitlin Seida, Carpe Jugulum by Terry Pratchett. There’s no political analysis, but there IS a free roaming three year old and at least one musical break. The discussion includes morality, mothering, niceness vs. kindness, an inevitable reckoning, and different ways hope can show up - a bird, a sewer rat, sometimes even a toddler.
