“Dolly comes to stand behind Sarah and peers over her shoulder at the primer. ‘The pictures were always my favorite part. I still want a nice illustration every now and again when I read.’ “ ❤️ Captivated by #ArielLawhon story, characters, wisdom. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

❤️Do you need a board of directors for your creative life? This is The Artist’s Way for today. It sparkles with writing prompts. It’s Bird by Bird brand new again. This book, a gift from a writer who could not keep it a secret from a bunch of us and I am so grateful. Treat yourself. Treat a friend. ❤️

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Love, Allison
