As I sit down to think about what I want from the coming birthday year, I’m struck by how happy I am right now. How much growth I’ve been through personally in the past year-and-a-half and how much I’ve owned who I am and who I want to be. One of the ways I’ve been…

Checklist 61

Cuba & Freedom: The Real Cuba Isn’t a Potemkin airbnb. (Potemkin: Having a false or deceptive appearance, especially one presented for the purpose of propaganda.) The Cuban perspective on what’s happening is important, but the scariest paragraph is this: “America is not remotely at the level of Cuba, but it sure seems we have a…

Checklist 59

Powerful article on self-silencing. I am so incredibly careful before I publish anything on this blog or social media, and while it’s good practice as a journalist, it’s frustrating as a citizen with an opinion.

Checklist 37

37 weeks?? How is that for real, and how is much of the country/globe going back into lockdown? We’re headed for a Thanksgiving quarantine family getaway in Galveston, which isn’t all that exciting except that it isn’t here. And a beach is a beach, right? Entertainment Planning on finishing Sin in the Second City, which…
