Part of my day is being spent listening to both albums. They are stylistically different and each is uniquely powerful. I recommend checking out the version (Track by Track) where Terri Lyne Carrington and Christie Dashiell talk about their process between each track. #ProtestArt #MLKDay #FreedomNow

Our nation has a propensity for consuming tragedy, metabolizing it, storing it in the “that won’t happen again” file, and being shocked when it happens again. At what point do we recognize that some things are a feature of the system and not a glitch or bug?

Edward R. Murrow reported on poverty in “Harvest of Shame” 65 yrs ago. For decades, FRONTLINE produced documentaries on the subject. This is about inequality and systemic failure. It isn’t about individual failings, culture, or character. But we already know that. www.cbsnews.com/video/when-t...
When the employed are pushed into homelessness
In America we are taught hard work is the key to success. But despite having full-time jobs, many families are locked out of the rental housing market, due to low wages, soaring rents and poor credit,...

What a life she led and what a legacy she leaves behind. We were blessed to have her on campus just last week for the Planetary Guardian’s unveiling of their Planetary Health Check.

My mom was a sewer and taught me to make things I couldn’t find as a tall girl (Lane Bryant was the only game in town). Later, I worked as a seamstress in grad school and then was into crafts. I loved spending hours in Joann.
Fabric chain Joann is going out of business and closing all 800 stores, marking the end of an 82-year-old company that was once the leading destination for DIY and crafts enthusiasts.
Joann will close all stores, shutter business pending court approval
The news comes a month after the fabric and crafts chain filed for its second bankruptcy within a year.

This makes me so sad. Hopefully she & her mother will be cutting up and offering us a gentle push from wherever they are now. I was thinking about how much I’d love to hear from Ann Richards & Molly Ivins these days. Anyway, thank you, Cecile. You were a real one.
