Columbia cancelled my class on race and media, and Washington Post fired me for speaking about race..

But I’m teaching (again) and speaking anyway.

I love local New Orleans businesses. I'm doing lunch at a spot I haven't been to in YEARS. They remember me from when I used to bring my son when he was a toddler. They even asked about him and felt some kind of way that he's in high school now.

Seems like when you giving somebody a ride, the only places they need to go are impossible to get in and out of.

This here’s a man of the people.

Former Cubs pitcher Lee Smith on why he always walked so slowly out of the bullpen when he was called - he heard the grounds crew got time and a half of the game stretched past 4:30 pm.

Noticed an unusual number of people in the last few days telling me to "stay on topic", "you need to speak more clearly" "rephrase that, I don't understand you" and a number of other odd requests when I discuss nuanced topics

Soo I looked up how chatbots asks for clarification.

Lo and behold...

They should be sued b/c they masquerade as news when they're an entertainment program. They should have to make that clear at the start of every show.

I just wanted to play in the dirt and always have bell peppers for my favorite dish.
That quickly turned into ppl being excited to see me coming.

I didn't even realize the kinda community I was joining when I started gardening and giving it away.
Turns out, the best one.

My gardening friends offer their extra harvest and i pay them for that.

Groceries are very expensive but we need to get to the source if we can….community.

That friend who posted her seeds early spring is harvesting her veggies in abundance.

Even my flowers come from a local flower farm.
