‘The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts,” wrote George Eliot in Middlemarch, “and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” The passage provides the title

So Much for the AOC Endorsement (Note: Slightly shorter MB today because I was having internet problems at home and at my remote coffee place office. Still…the show must go on!)
