When in an interview long ago I mentioned Michael as a polestar, an inspiration for me, he called me out of the blue (I still have his message saved) & for hours shared stories, wisdom & advice with me.

Hope Through The Rubble: Adel And His Family Need Your Help! This survival campaign has been set up on behalf of a family trapped in a genocide in Palestine.

I've been helping Adel, a father of 8 in Gaza, to set up a more permanent structure when his tent collapsed this winter. But his little brother was harmed in a bomb explosion this week & they're in desperate need of more than I can give alone. Please help if you can: chuffed.org/project/1665...

Looking for a good writing podcast? Flash reader Christina D’Antoni recommends BETWEEN THE COVERS by David Naimon.

"Especially the Bhanu Kapil and Caren Beilin episodes. There are SO many good ones, but I've saved those two in particular when I need to let a little extra light in. ✨ "
