I just received a postcard from my friend Zik from Arua—a town on Uganda's distant periphery 295 miles from Kampala—and posted it here: gofund.me/ad118b28

Please check out the update and consider backing Zik's mission to bring #FOSS to young entrepreneurs and changemakers across #EastAfrica!

As spring breathes renewal into our world, we celebrate the hope and togetherness that unite us all. Happy Easter to all my friends and fam who are celebrating—and warmth and solidarity to everyone. In diversity, strength. 🌸☕️

US friends, please call your Senators via 202-224-3121 & Rep. via 202-225-3121! Urge them to save USAID + lift the freeze on U.S. foreign assistance that since 1990 has helped helped lift over a billion people out of extreme poverty + cut maternal, infant, and child mortality rates by roughly half.

There are friends whose friendship helps define you. Phebe Marr was one of those friends for me. Her journey into a life of love for & scholarship on #Iraq mirrors the journey that many other "Iraq watchers" like me have taken. #RIPPhebe www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2...
