Just finished “Know My Name” by Chanel Miller, an award-winning memoir the Washington Post called a gut-punch that’s blessedly hopeful. One of my favorite editors recommended the book. I finished in 2 days. Just exceptional writing.

NEW: "Injustice Town" is about people who fight for the truth and refuse to give up. Rick Tulsky offers deep examination of public policy that includes land use history, legislative history, political history, criminal justice history, actions of GW Bush, Biden and Trump. Highly recommend.

Picked up this haunting and powerful 234-page novel written in 1994 that “rewards the reader again and again with small but exquisite and unforgettable epiphanies.” (per WaPo) Written by a girl reunited with her parents in the US at age 12 in 1981 — now a grad of Barnard and Columbia.

The book, "One day, everyone will have always been against this" is the title of a non-fiction National Book Award winner about the war in Gaza and the West's response. Riveting work by a Canadian-raised journalist who lives in the Pacific Northwest.

Audio books are for walking and driving, when it's not possible to hold a physical book. Currently listening to "In Pieces" by Sally Field. Heartbreaking. Powerful. Highly recommend. (Grateful to have access to Hoopla through my public library.)

Your piece is powerful. Thank you for your work. Reminder: "Killers of the Flower Moon" by investigative reporter David Grann (Doubleday, 2017) is riveting, important too.

Only this year did I discover that dandelions are related to sunflowers AND valuable to pollinators. Dandelions are in the Asteraceae family that includes asters, daisies, sunflowers. Pass the word. (And please stop spraying poison in the yard.) @gardeningwell.ie @parents4planet.bsky.social

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts re: all-female management team: “It’s something that happened organically. I was seeking out the best, and that’s how it happened.. And honestly, it’s an eye that I don’t have that I’m able to lean on in certain situations. That’s something I value heavily.”

My daughter wished for an apron and I sent her two made by her great-grandmother. She said they’re so beautiful they made her cry. (They’re vintage. Her grandma is 94.)

But anyone who goes back to re-read the George Orwell 1949 classic will find familiar elements absolutely chilling. Highly recommend. Free/library. (Or $12.9 hardcover/Target or $3.61 paperback/Walmart). Preferred choice is @barnesandnoble.bsky.social always. Fantastic stocking stuffer.
