Pouring one out — along with a piece of chocolate cake, an ice-cream cone, a pickle, a slice of Swiss cheese, a slice of salami, a lollipop, a piece of cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake, and a slice of watermelon — for Eric Carle.

Merry Equinox to all residents of planet Earth. On this day, Earth’s tilted axis points neither towards nor away from the Sun. Astronomically, that gives us Spring north of the equator, and Autumn south of it. Also 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime - worldwide.

Our hearts are with the families of the AAPI women slain yesterday. Hatred is infectious and cumulative - it begins w pejoratives about race and evolves into acts of unspeakable violence. We must do more than condemn. Our responsibility is to protect and defend. By word and deed.

ADHD is putting your passport in a Very Safe Place and not writing it down (because how could you forget THAT), then panicking months later when you realize how many Very Safe Places there actually are in your tiny apartment, all of them Very Empty.

Cheering hard for everyone who had a children's or young adult book published in 2020. We are grateful for the hope and truth you gave our young people during this arduous, tumultuous year. We see you; we celebrate you. #alayma21 #alayma

You see how Amanda Gorman just made you feel?? This is why art matters so much. It has the ability to cut through and gets right to the heart of the matter. I guarantee most will forget the majority of these speeches, but it will be hard to forget what she just did today.

“I must remind you that starving a child is violence. Neglecting school children is violence. Punishing a mother and her family is violence... Ignoring medical need is violence. Contempt for poverty is violence.” - Coretta Scott King

My fellow Americans, one thing I learned from my close study of history in South Africa is that Truth and Justice must come before Reconciliation.

There's a world of difference between holding your government accountable and trying to overthrow it. One group demands to be recognized by, included in, and protected by our government. One attempts to dismantle it. Don't ever compare the two again.
