Surveillance tale: My son, home from college, tells me that he was humming the Chaconne from Bach Partita #2 yesterday—and the next time he went to YouTube, it was his top recommended track. Yes, his phone was near when he hummed. No, he'd never listened to that work on YouTube.

President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.”
I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.
My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.

I’m an obvious fan of the beautiful books we publish (thanks NUP Editorial & Design!), but every now & then there's a cover that makes me do a full stop. Front to back, this cover, this poet, these poems, the gracious praise… FULL STOP!#kyledargan #artistnatelewis #September18

Traveling is weird. I've somehow ended up at a Chili's in Merritt Island. There are 3 ladies dressed in black, one of them wearing a skirt that looks like hair. There's also a kid with a mullet/rattail combo and the lady who took me to my table has orange hair...

“What eats at America — and so its place in the world — is moral rot: unrelenting blight that emanates from on high. When it comes to rottenness, Denmark is passé. Try the White House.” nytimes.com/2018/05/18/opini…

Depression isn’t a form of sadness. It’s not something that goes away if you just think about how good you have it or how successful you are. You can’t positivity it away. It lies to you about yourself and eats you from the inside and tells you that you alone make things worse.
