There is still a chance we can come out on the other side of this better than we were before. There is some good left in this country, and it's worth fighting for. 💪

A gentle reminder for when we interact with those who are "different" from us (in any number of ways). You don't have to "get it." You don't even have to feel comfortable. What we should try to be,though, at all times, is KIND. That's literally it, and it's easier than we think.

My Colleague, Edivelton De La Rosa wrote this article and produced the accompanying video. He also conducted these interviews personally. This is not fake, this is happening. Who even are we anymore? #immigration #ICE #HumanRightsViolations

It's February, aka Black History Month! Please enjoy this article from my Historica archives. America's greatest icon, the cowboy, has long been depicted as white, but the roots of the image are deeply and distinctly African American. #cowboys #western #africanamericanhistorymonth

Folks, please help me welcome a very talented artist to Bluesky, @nastasajart.bsky.social Nastasaj. Andi was kind enough to license his art at no cost for my LotR article. He does other material as well. I encourage you to give him a follow. You won't regret it #LordoftheRings #fantasyart #scifiart

Innocent until proven guilty. That said ... the Gaiman controversy is starting to sound a lot like the Cosby thing a few years back. I find it very hard to believe that many women would conspire/lie. And he'd be far from the first public figure or personal acquaintance to disappoint me like this.

My latest for Historica. This one is very personal and I definitely felt a lot of emotions writing it. Special thanks to my L.A. friends Kellen McGuire, Allison Veilleux, and Josh Burns who lent their words to bring this article a human touch. Please like and share.
