After a derecho destroys the neighborhood swim club, Swimming with Ghosts turns into a wonderfully dark tale of hidden addiction and generational trauma. https://t.co/0TcP5TIJgo

Perspective | I swam back from a bad fall. Adversity made me better.

An accident on a ladder leveled me. Returning to the water built me back up.

Thank you, @JDForward and Adam Langer, for publishing my essay about the early, tender days of saying Zoom kaddish for my mom.

The pandemic has created a unique mourning experience, one that has surprised me with a comfort I might not have known.

I also can’t reiterate how exciting it is for me that others are excited to see poetry at a football game. What a time to be alive
Poetry at the Super Bowl is a feat for art & our country, because it means we’re thinking imaginatively about human connection even when we feel siloed. I’ll honor 3 heroes who exemplify the best of this effort. Here’s to them, to poetry, & to a #SuperBowl like no other 💛

You GPA and scores are merely one aspect of your life story. Presenting yourself authentically in your college essay, and in life, is what matters.

Mr. @FLGovScott — counting votes isn't partisan — it's democracy. Count every vote.

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

Way to make a girl's day @jennifer s. @j_s_brown! Loved reading with you, and I can't wait to dig into MODERN GIRLS. Happy Thanksgiving to you. xx
I have work to do. Thanksgiving food to cook. A long to-do list. But it’s cold outside and I’m loving BERTRAND COURT by @michellebrafman so I’m blowing everything off so I can finish it. And, no, that’s not grape juice. And, yes, I don’t care that it’s only 3:52 pm. #amreading
