For 20 years Matthew Shepard's ashes had no permanent resting place. But in 2018 Bishop Mariann Budde invited his family to inter Mathew at Washington National Cathedral giving him a safe and forever home where people from all over the world could come and pay their respects #LGBTQ

We can all agree, no matter our politics, that chef José Andrés deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for his amazing work with World Central Kitchen in disaster-stricken areas across the U.S. and the world.

There is no one in my lifetime who has embodied public service more than former President Jimmy Carter. President Carter broke the mold. He demonstrated that it isn’t a title that defines you, but the work that you do to improve your community and the lives of those in that community.

WE ARE STILL IN THIS. Wipe your tears. This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation. We do not give up. We run through the tape. Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉 Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

Nikki Giovanni, a poet of rage and revolution as well as love and longing, who emerged as a fiery voice of Black liberation in the 1960s before honing a more tender, meditative style in best-selling books for children and adults, died Dec. 9 at a hospital in Blacksburg, Virginia. She was 81.

What words do you say about the person with the best words? An immense loss with Nikki Giovanni gone. Her work removed the veneer of strength forced onto BW and instead left room to be both vulnerable and visionary, real people, not phantoms of others’ imaginations, while still being kinda magical.
