Asked our five-year old what he remembered from this afternoon’s conversation between @marthasjones.bsky.social and @tressiemcphd.bsky.social—an intimate backyard celebration of community, remembrance and stories—and he told us, without pausing, “Dr. Tressie said Winston-Salem smelled like tobacco.”

Here's my little Ade and my mom hiking Eaton Canyon back in the summer of 2022. These are the memories I'm holding close amid all the loss and pain.
I hope we can hike the canyon again. More importantly, I hope folks stay safe and get access to the resources and support they need. This isn't over.

watching NBC4, this reporter is about half a mile from mom's house in Altadena, our family's home, presuming it's gone, fire has doubled in size over the past few hours, winds aren't dying down... all that said, my family got out and is safe

We’ve been celebrating our first Hanukkah in North Carolina after moving here this past summer. The previous owners of our home forgot to clean out a kitchen drawer and we inherited these amazing Santa matches. However funky and hybrid your methods may be, here’s to bringing light into your 2025.

This just surfaced on my LI feed. I’ve been slowly, and sadly, archiving many instances of public annotation—critical and civic mark-making—associated with the various texts and ideologies of this conflict. It doesn’t help me to make sense of anything, but the presence of such notes is unavoidable.

Bowls break. In college, a dear friend taught me this lesson. He’s a potter, to this day, and I’ve been fortunate to receive many of his bowls. This morning, our toddler dropped a bowl gifted to me over 20 years ago. It shattered. So we discussed beauty, impermanence and the legacy of a good lesson.

No preschool because public schools cancelled due to weather (cmon, it’s not bad for Colorado). Denver Art Museum is full with kids making art, playing—and it’s all moms and grandparents. Only one other dad solo with a kid. Noticing the scene, thinking about labor, care, privilege, all those things.
