I rarely want to say anything on here. But one thing I do want to share with whomever is listening is that one of the loveliest things about Carter's memorial events is that they show that people of faith--including the Christian one!--exist across the political spectrum #momprof #Carter

The more your work is deemed successful, the louder the cries will become, the more they will fall like leaves on that path until it is hard to even see, just as your own thoughts are hard to hear in the clamor. But you must try to remember that purpose, that self, that path anyway. And do the work.

No, they will be requests to be on panels, juries, to write things that are not the things you were born to write, go on book tours, support other works of art (and sometimes you should), but no one will haunt you to stay on your own path. Every request is a request to you to detour from it.

As Dems reelect a spritely 74-year-old Chuck Schumer as Senate Leader, this is a reminder that U.S. politicians are the oldest of any democracy, despite the U.S. having one of the youngest populations.

Here is a somber truth of creative life. If it goes well, people will begin to ask you for things. Each of those things, no matter how kind or flattering or genuine or even beneficial to your own career and finances as well as someone else's, will pull you from your true purpose.

PBS is capturing the history of Muslims in America in a series of short episodes.
Part of that history relates to interracial intimacies - South Asian and Latinx, Black, Creole, etc. and border crossing, law, family, & marriage.

Donald Trump is the most prominent politician to link immigrants and crime but not the first
Donald Trump may link immigration to violent crime more effectively than any American politician before him, but he’s hardly the first to promote the unfounded narrative.
