Nobody elected the First Felon to impose his ideology on our history and culture. This is Nazi behavior and must be stopped.

Listen to my interview with Jessica Whitehead, author of the new book "Driftwood: The Life of Harlan Hubbard." It's a well-done biography of the unique Kentucky writer and artist who with his wife, Anna, lived an off-the-grid life on their own terms.

Continue making your voice heard, Kentucky, and ask your representatives to vote NO to SB 89, which would threaten our precious waterways in the Commonwealth. So far, your advocacy seems to be working! #VoteNOtoSB89

It’s a beautiful, sunny, release week for DRIFTWOOD. I’m gearing up for a week-long extravaganza of Hubbard events. Harlan and Anna’s story has never been more relevant—let’s all support the arts, support the humanities, and support the health of our beloved landscapes and riverscapes together. 💛🛶

In 1774, Phillis Wheatley wrote in a letter, "In every breast, God has implanted a principle, which we call love of freedom; it is impatient of oppression." Phillis wrote this out of a place of intense generosity, after having been enslaved. Let's not let her down.

It’s a fascinating (and troubling) time to be diving into the way Westward Expansion shaped American character. Tonight’s foray takes me into SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON (1949).
