I just want to make it clear that this Boomer was mainly marching for my daughter's & grandkids' future in this country. Yes, for Social Security, too, but mainly for education, healthcare, DEI, parks, libraries, veterans. Not all old folks were out there just for SSA and 401ks. #HandsOffAtlanta

Dear Jewish Family and Friends, now would be a great time to start using those space lasers. I trust you to choose the correct targets.

Celebrating James McBride and his novel The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store. Black & Jewish neighbors in a small PA town come together to survive & thrive. McBride's mother was Jewish & his pride in both his Black & Jewish heritage adds rich context to the book. Happy Black History Month!

I'm celebrating books by Black authors for Black History Month. I love the horror genre, and Tananarive Due's The Good House is one of the best horror tales I've ever read. The story isn't a standard haunted house tale, believe me. If you love a good thriller, try Tananarive Due!

In celebration of Black History Month, I'm sharing some favorite books written by Black authors. I'll start with Natasha Trethewey's Memorial Drive: A Daughter's Memoir. Trethewey's experiences influence her work as an author & Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. Don't shy away from this book. Read this!

Will someone PLEASE create a list of actionable items that can help change the dire direction in which this country is headed? Don't come at me with boycotts, petitions, marches. All fine, but I don't see them really stopping this madness. We cannot just bitch on social media. Give me a list!

Off politics for a moment, I love this show. Abbott Elementary. Quinta Brunson is brilliant, and the entire cast is perfect. So glad my daughter went to an Atlanta Public School with fun teachers like these (though the principal wasn't as hilarious as Janelle James. OK, carry on. #AbbottElementary

Back when a little weather didn't move an inauguration inside. And for Obama's first inauguration, temps in the 20s. Last indoor inauguration was Reagan 1985. Seems we are made of sterner stuff than those of the thin-skinned party.
