@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov do not cave to Republicans! This shutdown is their fault, and they have the power to end it. Fight for us the way we're fighting for each other.

From the program, "At its center is a simple but profound question - what compels us to rise up?" This play holds up a mirror to our country, highlighting the generational persistence of racism & violence always countered by hope. #Resist

I discovered I don't actually know how to write a book, and being a pantser doesn't work for me. Also, sometimes the story you set out to write might not be the story you end up telling. Listen to the characters and they will lead you where you really need to go. And hand writing a book is ok.

I would agree with yours, but I could also include the death of Ryan White from AIDS and the Rodney King riots, though those were technically high school for me. Honestly, now that really is childhood, isn't it?

I cancelled my HBO Max subscription since they continue to carry her work and have not condemned her.

I'm on Storygraph. You will not be impressed with my poor progress on several books I've started and not finished, but I'm open to new connections. DM me if you want to connect there.
