I’ve moved a dozen or more times since 8th grade but I’ve always kept that book with me.

Today, the Washington Post laid off more than 300 people.

If you think this is abt Jeff Bezos's concern that the paper losing money, you're wrong.

So wrong that you should be disqualified from expressing opinions in public.

Billionaires *like* losses. They *need* losses.

i remember being off for an entire week in fourth grade because of an ice storm!

my mother-in-law was able to make her way over here to help but school itself remains a enigma.

In this weekend’s @propublica.org Dispatches, @peterdicampo.bsky.social and I wrote about our experiences in Minnesota in the days surrounding the killing of Alex Pretti. www.propublica.org/article/minn...

it is day 7 of not having full school days (one teacher workday, one snow day, three remote learning days, two 2-hour delays)

today my children are doing their assignments in a giant fort that they’ve built from bedsheets and pillows and various furniture items.

given my proclivities, i cannot judge.

love tilman!

hello! it brings me great joy to do ridiculous projects and this is my jazz car.

if you see any more, let me know! my sanity depends on quirky projects that bring me joy.

A remote learning day has somehow doubled the number of children in my home.

lovely to work with you as well, chris!
