I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human. I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

Great pic on Insta by #CarrieOreskovich! Lovely words about "The Nearly Girl" by @lisadenikolits 'I am always amazed at fiction writers' ability to create worlds and characters that feel real, and you did this so well' #FemLitCan #CanLit #FeministFiction chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/boo…

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 @Oprah 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, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.

I won the lottery but they said I had the wrong numbers. This is a big fraud. Very strange. I demand the numbers are changed. #TrumpMeltdown

Power can't be taken or asserted, it flows from the people, and it's their will that determines who will be the President of the United States.

After a lifetime of stumbling, persistent transformation from teen mom dropout to educated, confident, feminist with a successful career & an empty nest, it was time to go BIG, pack up my life, and set out to travel the world building a business with purpose. #pitmad #A #mem

ROUGHING IT + THE ART OF TRAVEL MEMORY ROAD TRIP is not only an adventurous journey to certain parts of the globe, but it is also an introspective and witty journey to the mysterious self and the relationships that make us the person that we grow to become. #pitmad #A #NF #Mem

A collection of travel stories ranging from the sublime to the surreal as recounted by a former travel agent who saw the world on the cheap. “Never go on trips with anyone you do not love,” is a Hemingway quote that this traveler did not adhere to. #pitmad #A #NF #Mem #CON

LOVE WARRIOR X BEAUTIFUL BOY Orphaned at 12, all I’ve ever wanted is a family of my own. When a hostile divorce tears it apart and my son dies at 20, how will I go on? THE FULL CATASTROPHE is the story of my quest to find meaning in a lifetime of loss. #PitMad #Mem #A #INSP

#PitMad Similar to Roxane Gay’s Hunger, UNSEXED is a memoir that illustrates how abuse affects the female body, sexual relationships, and motherhood, imparting the message that loving our bodies and ourselves is the only way to survive trauma. #A #Mem #Own

#PitMad #BVM #POC #LGBT #MH #Mem #A: Seven years ago, a Black, gay student from MIT went to medical school and became class president, only to find bigotry insidiously woven into every part of medicine. And so, he decided to take on the system to help change it for everyone.

Isn't it weird how a coronavirus death rate of 1% is plenty low to OPEN EVERYTHING, but meanwhile voter fraud incidence of 0.000001% means END VOTE BY MAIL
