I don’t know about you, but removing historical truths and art from museums, appointing yourself the head of a national theater, using secret police to illegally arrest people, operating mass detention camps, and banning free speech media sounds a lot like 1930s brown shirt behavior to me.

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! It’s no secret that the creatures we share our planet with are in trouble—now more than ever. But the good news? It is super easy to help! Donations to local and global conservation groups, like @worldwildlife.org, go a long way. Even just $5.

Joe Monninger was the first writer/writing teacher who told me I could be a writer. He taught me how to observe the world and get it on the page.

His own writing often reflected humanity’s relationship to nature and one another.

He was a great friend and mentor.

I will miss him infinitely.

I wrote about a brief encounter with wildfires in Canada and why climate change is accelerating their devastation.

The world has its ways of reminding us of its wild nature. But it's up to us to take action to protect it.

President Carter believed in human rights, nature, and the arts. His contributions to all before, during, and after his presidency are a testament to how he viewed his role in his community and our country. We need more leaders like that.

I guess I’m glad the Enron rebrand and ad campaign is a parody because I don’t have the energy for it.

I always feel sort of empty after a holiday where I have the privilege to be surrounded by family and friends for a long weekend. There are so many conversations, jokes, warmth, and snacks in every room.

Now the people have gone and it’s too quiet. The kind of quiet that makes it hard to focus.

It feels like we’re watching Lex Luthor put together the Legion of Doom and the Justice League is doing the Spider-Man meme and I know I’m mixing universes but this is a crisis of non-infinite Earths that requires a cross-over event unlike any other.

If you could create any physical media box set, what would it be? You choose the theme.

Mine: indie darling dramedies with an aesthetic. Probably to a fault.
