🥺 Sad eyes, sad face, only 3.5 years old, over 852 days waiting for that right person to adopt her. MELIA is just a playful, sweet, smart, fun, loving dog. Needing a Calm adult only home. No dogs.

It's important to me to always thank you all for sharing MELIA. You're taking time to repost and writing your own posts!! I appreciate it so much. As most of you know I do not work for the shelter. 💖

It is nice to know journalism things I did many years ago continue to be relevant but sometimes it is also very depressing to see the reasons why.

I've emailed many rescues, magazines, their local news, radio, sports, podcasts, dog trainers, daytime and late night shows. If anyone thinks of anything or anyone that I could email please let me know. I can't believe MELIA is still waiting. 🥺 Thank you

NYCers have earned a day to just feel hopeful and happy. Nobody's in denial about political reality, and tomorrow will be here soon enough, but an inauguration is a celebration and an articulation of a vision, and it's okay to let yourself give in to the joy of aspiration.

Well, after eight years of research, writing and revision, I just sent the full manuscript for THE DIVISION: JOHN DOAR, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT to my publisher.

This is happening, people. Whether you want it or not.
