Our building is wonderfully weird. It’s sun-filled, and it smells like a science lab but sounds like a coffee shop.

Sat down to play my oboe for the first time in a month, and after the first note, my dog let out a loud, heartfelt groan.

My heart is still heavy from the news out of Minneapolis. And this was a tough piece to write today. But I’m more determined than ever to get the masked goons off the streets of our cities and kick the fascists out of power. I hope you are too. My write-up in the replies.

Every year since we started dating, I've made a hand-painted illustration for my husband. Here's the one from this past year, inspired by our recent trip to Japan

Secretly thrilled to see how well the parking lot weeds are doing: the dandelion and cat’s ear, the purple dead nettle, the plantain (two species!), the wild geranium, the dock.

I used to write very polished professional emails but now I write them as stream-of-consciousness as possible so there is no doubt I wrote them myself

Mixed an herbal tea blend up in a re-used plastic soup container, and afterward, flakes of dried herb are static-electricity-sticking to the bottom and sides. I'm chasing them around the container with the spoon. I just...didn't expect my dried tea to take on a life of its own.
