I'm trying to sell a book so I scrubbed my website to look less like a hungover college student's art project and more like a respectable author who is responsible enough for a two-book deal. I did keep a few old favorite posts on the Links page... mostly rants about fall foods. maiaknolan.com

Twenty-four hours into his time, Sen. Booker just passionately defended public science and universities-- which, at their best, are cornerstones of democracy and a powerful tool for collective liberation (which is why they've been so aggressively attacked).

Thank you, Senator.
