A big thank-you to Curtis Manley, @amyhevron.bsky.social, @boonewrites.bsky.social, and everyone who came out to support our joint picture book event yesterday! We learned all sorts of cool facts on everything from bison poo to coding to 1890s-era bicycles. 🀯

It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must.

Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.

This state is home to 6 million acres of peatlands, more than any other state in the contiguous U.S. Can you guess which state? πŸ€”

Daily Calm Meditations - YouTube

What's happening now is designed to overwhelm, discourage and disorient us.

There are evidence-based practices that can help center us in the eye of the storm so we can be more effective in responding. If you could use one now, here's a series of brief, daily meditations I can't recommend enough:

In the best tradition of Copernicus and Galileo, our courageous scientists are enlightening the public about our environment, undaunted by Trump’s attempted suppression. Courage is contagious.

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.
