Now feels like a good time to tell you about my favorite recent book purchase: Posters for Change, from Princeton Architectural Press. It’s got a huge collection of posters perfect for protest, and proceeds go to non-profits.

Happy to be among the thousands marching from Union Square to Washington Square to say NO MORE to 47 and his minions.

Came to the ancient Indigenous guidelines Robin Wall Kimmerer calls the Honorable Harvest in her book “The Serviceberry,” and they were helpful to read this week.

Of all the things the #spellingbee doesn’t like, it seems to really not like gardens and nature. Why, Bee?

Happy Book Birthday Amy Gash (and me!). Gretchen Rubin, author of THE HAPPINESS PROJECT, calls BELIEVE IN THE WORLD, WISDOM FOR GROWN-UPS from CHILDREN’S BOOKS “a treasure trove of beautiful, thought-provoking quotations” that will inspire you to revisit old favorites and discover new ones.
