Weekends I catch up with friends and family 8 time zones away. I struggle generally talking about politics which inevitably comes up. Am struck by the news/information sources people actually read, even my loved ones, which span from benignly middle-of-the-road to nefarious. #CriticalThinking

Listen to some recordings of Nikki Giovanni if you can today.
A legend I met once when I was young, who influenced so many of us, and gave us permission to become a lot of what we wanted to be. Rest in power,Nikki Giovanni. You will be missed ♥️ but not forgotten. You taught us the art and power of love.
