Here's an excerpt from my new book OF TYRANT, called, "Two Lives." It's a hopeful poem. I want to remind people, the tyrant wants you to operate out of hate and fear. Don't let him win. #oftyrant

Share with me what you got on teaching a small unit on 'keeping a diary or journal.' I'm looking for articles, essays, and videos -- this is for 8th graders! Also looking at you @austinkleon.bsky.social @sketchbookskool.bsky.social etc.... (Two of my faves)

Gorgeous 1939 painting of Elizabeth Bishop's house. It's by Loren MacIver, the first woman represented in MOMA's permanent collection, and uses watercolours and ink on paper. (Everything is just rainbow, rainbow, rainbow. Looks like she let the fish go too - always wise.)

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
