I’m committing delicious food crimes on my body today. I may have regrets later, but not in this moment!

Say NO to Trump/Musk's war on science, research, facts, and truth. This event is part of a national Stand Up for Science action on March 7th. I will do my best to be there!

I’m reading an exuberant book of poetry: Razzle Dazzle by Major Jackson. When I want a moment of snappy language, I read one poem. It’s like a tiny vacation.

I attended the Protest/March in Downtown Pittsburgh at 12:00 today. Nearly everything good about this country is being destroyed by Trump’s government. In the cold weather of this afternoon, I was proud to be with some of the people who are working to keep us ALL alive and free.

I highly recommend The Maid and the Crocodile by Jordan Ifueko. It’s a fantasy novel that is somehow cozy and political. It has big magic but at the same time it is interested in the value of an ordinary life.

I saw the Pitt gymnastics meet against Stanford. The crowd was large, the music was loud and the athletes were remarkable. Great fun, would go again!

I loved how Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens showcased their orchids this year. Many single orchids get to shine in their own flower pot.

I went to see the “Gertrude Abercrombie:
The Whole World Is a Mystery” exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Art. She used symbols that recurred throughout her paintings, and I identified with the mood she created.

While having snacks at Barnes & Noble at the Waterfront, I found the first few pages of Starling House by Alix E Harrow so irresistible that I had to buy a copy.
