It’s actually a moral imperative. If you can run for office, you must. Women only hold 25 percent of the 500,000 elected positions in America. Because we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu. emergeamerica.org

What's happening now is designed to overwhelm, discourage and disorient us. There are evidence-based practices that can help center us in the eye of the storm so we can be more effective in responding. If you could use one now, here's a series of brief, daily meditations I can't recommend enough:

It may feel weird or somehow improper to talk about your art or your writing, but we need it. It can’t be wall-to-wall nightmare all the time. Art is both counterweight and context. It’s escape and enlightenment and a mirror of our own exasperation. We need it. We NEED it. Keep showing us.

There is a lot going on right now and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed. Just remember the 20-60-10 rule! After 20 minutes of work, take a 60-minute stroll through the forest and hug 10 trees (at least). They need love too!

Did you know most beetles only live a year? For us humans, it's week 6 of 52 of 2025. I’ve been using this framing to help me realize the power and potential of each week—and to not let the week go by with just the same old/same old. 💛🪲

Stories hold us together. Stories teach us what is important about life, why we are here and how it is best to behave, and that inside us we have access to treasure, in memories and observations, in imagination.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Hey #kidlit, with everything going on in the world I think we could all use a collective reminder. Why do you choose to make books for children?

It’s #ALAYMA day! Good day to remind you #kidlit writers that, while awards are lovely, they are by definition, limited to just a handful of books. I promise you, whether your book is “big” with awards or not, it is someone’s very special treasure — and that’s because you wrote it. Keep writing! 💙

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

Five things to do today: 1. Make time for yoga/meditation, whatever movement or stillness works. 2. Turn off the TV, put your phone down, & go outside. 3. Spend time in nature. 4. Make something. A poem. Art. A cake. 5. Remember that the work will be there tomorrow. Care for yourself today.

Hey folks who follow me for morning #OceanDevotion videos— I’ve had a minor foot injury, so walking on the beach has been a bit tough over the last 1.5 weeks. Stand by—it’s coming back. In the meantime, here’s a nice one from Cape Cod from a couple of months back.
