This guy changed my life. In 1989 he published my story, A Real Doll about a boy dating Barbie, no one else would publish it because they were afraid of being sued. Michael didn't care--he said he had nothing to lose.

I found the most effective way to teach both politics and economics to my dogs was to work with cookies n' kibble. I said if there is a shut down--there is no kibble, which I know is a scary thought so for today I'll give you a cookie, a small little cookie with a bite taken out.

Take nothing for granted. On August 18, 1920 the 19th Amendment was ratified -- it took almost 100 years! Imagine if your mother had not been allowed to vote? Can you imagine that there are STILL people who would like to make sure your vote doesn't count?

A late contender for book of 2022: The Unfolding by @nycnovel , from @GrantaBooks . Following a small group of Republicans recovering from Obama's election in 2008, it's a devastating book about love: familial love, love of ones country, and the love of ones self. It's brilliant.
