Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Rob Reiner made THE PRINCESS BRIDE. He made WHEN HARRY MET SALLY. He made MISERY, SPINAL TAP, and countless other classics.
Rob gave us a great gift, and his and his wife's senseless murders are a devastating loss.

Rob Reiner was one of the key people behind the effort to go to court to overturn California's anti-marriage equality Proposition 8 when it passed in 2008.
Working with Chad Griffin, they founded the American Foundation for Equal Rights and got Ted Olson and David Boies to team up to fight Prop 8.

I was very lucky to be interviewed recently about 2 of my poems, "Grape" & "Desert Fauna," which appeared in @malahatreview.bsky.social's fall issue. The interview, "Precarity of Life," covers ground like who poems belong to, online censorship & how losing our autonomy can feel worse than death.
