Some of the thousands who marched at today’s #nokings rally in #Nashville.

I’m thrilled to be in conversation this Friday, 9/12, with the brilliant photographer Sally Mann at @politicsprose.bsky.social. Her terrific new book “Art Work” is all about the creative process: its pitfalls, temptations & rewards. As she writes on p. 1: “This is a book about how to get shit done.”

Friends in the DMV: I’ll be chatting w/ @samkean.bsky.social about Dinner with King Tut: his eye-opening new book on (and immersion in) the world of experiential archeology. Mummification, alchemy, trepanation, trebuchets, and more! Tues. 7/8, 7 pm @politicsprose.bsky.social Conn. Ave. Join us!

The #NoKings protest in Sitka has a distinctly Alaskan flavor

I’m always happy to visit public radio stations. KCAW/Raven Radio in Sitka, Alaska is a great example of how vital public radio stations are, especially in small, rural communities. Visiting on a day when the House clawed back its appropriation of public media funding, felt especially meaningful.

Well, I didn’t have Jason Isbell lyrics on my bingo card for the Jimmy Carter funeral. Thanks, grandson Jason Carter, for folding in the “Flagship” reference.
