    I was asked this weekend how I feel about "Google Warriors" that I may encounter in my medical practice. My mind immediately flashed to the "don't confuse your Google search with my medical degree" signs and the clever response that many disabled and chronically ill folks give:

    Science and democracy are strongly interlinked - as they are both built on freedom of speech, independence, facts and transparency. If you don’t respect democracy then you probably won’t respect science. And if you don’t respect science then you probably won’t respect democracy.

    Throwback. I made this hand-cranked Heron long ago when studying mechanical movement and automata. I drew a lot of inspiration from brilliant artists like the late Keith Newstead of Cabaret Mechanical Theater fame. A dear, dear man.

    Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.

    I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, ! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

    It was an honor to speak with the Biden Inaugural Committee about Lincoln's second inauguration, another time of national crisis but also hope for a better future. Looking forward to an administration that cares about history and respects historians!

    The amount of anxiety our bodies went thru in 2020 is unmatched. And it continues. Please find a way to decrease your output in some way. Demand moments of rest for yourself. Sleep more.

    Good to see Octavia Butler and Audre Lorde represented.

    All of this talk about how A PROMISED LAND saved indie bookstores in 2020 had us curious what our own bestselling titles were last year. Here they are separated into nonfiction & fiction/poetry!
