Tales From City of Hope #8: The Day +3 Cake

Fight disinformation: Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily newsletter and follow the news that matters.


As promised, the Day +3 cake arrived today, produced with a mother’s love along with an assist from Duncan Hines. That’s the childhood formula, so that’s what I got. I will spend the next few days in a chocolate coma.

Marian visited today too, which was a good thing. My fatigue is getting ever worse, and when I got back from my daily hydration I pretty much crashed for two hours. So the visit was mostly between Marian and my mother. I woke up just in time to say goodbye. Before I crashed, however, I did get this badly-composed selfie of the three of us, all sporting our now-stylish surgical masks. Enjoy.

Fact:

Mother Jones was founded as a nonprofit in 1976 because we knew corporations and billionaires wouldn't fund the type of hard-hitting journalism we set out to do.
