@ConnieSchultz raised the alarm about the abuses of the culture of tipping years ago in a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning columns. Here's a pandemic-era argument for why servers should be paid a living wage and not have to rely on the sexism of strangers for their livelihoods.

Greetings faithful friends and followers. I finally got around to updating my Twitter handle after leaving The Plain Dealer. Gotta admit it was hard giving up the @PDPopDiva moniker. Rest assured, The Diva isn’t dead; she’s just enjoying a break from the blinding lights of fame.

I refuse to live in a country where our “leaders” protect guns not kids.

Hi @iamsambee Thought you might like this column I wrote about an Ohio woman who has written to Trump nearly every day of his presidency. She's an eloquent critic from the American heartland -- and her dry sense of humor doesn't hurt. https://t.co/2zsN4smWYe
