@CynthiaDrummon4 Oh, Cynthia. I’m so incredibly sorry. I adored watching sweet little Fidgit’s adventures with you. Sending you all my love and a gentle hug.
Short parable on the need for local journalism: My wife and I live in a small town (~25,000 people) in Middlesex County, NJ, where we recently had a referendum on whether or not to increase the fire department budget by about 60% (🧵 continues)
I just love love. Platonic love, soul mate love, all encompassing-no-one-else-could-possibly-have-ever-felt-this-way-before love, love your neighbor love, family love, and best-friend girl-love. I love it all. I want to revel in it. Happy Valentine’s Day, friends. 💕
This is despicable. An attack on RI’s Black community is an attack on all of us.
Our hearts are with Pastor Perry and the entire Shiloh Gospel Temple congregation. There is no place for hate in Rhode Island or anywhere.

Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
Ring Out, Wild Bells
Poem by Alfred Tennyson
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
