Paintings begin, are finished & leave the studio but a painter’s palette is a constant friend. It’s a place where we try to find the best colours for our heart’s true murmurings...

Check out this complete sentence:

"I like Elizabeth Warren."

Notably missing from it:
- She's better than Candidate X
- Candidate X is trash

We don't have to trash ANY DEMs in order to elevate others. We need ALL OF THEM in order to beat #DesperateDonald.

That is all.

The Nevada Legislature has now passed a Senate bill that would lift restrictions on abortions in the state. SB 179 now heads to Governor Steve Sisolak for his signature. https://t.co/PaUtT42ZnJ

One of my students brought this Ellen Bass poem in today: "...when grief weights you like your own flesh/only more of it, an obesity of grief,/you think, How can a body withstand this?"

I’ve noticed that the plethora of Democratic candidates are mostly working together, and staying positive. How refreshing. https://t.co/30EjoI2bUW

This is a pair to draw to, as the late Guy Clark put it.

It’s fascinating that so many men will insist that consent is too awkward or nuanced to understand when they seem to have no difficulty navigating interactions with people they aren’t sexually attracted to.

Dear Democrat friend,

You know that candidate you love?

I don’t.

If you want to be mad be mad. If you want to cry about it then cry. If you want to tell me I’m the reason Trump will win, say it.

But whomever is the Democratic nominee in 2020

I’m voting for him/her.

Thanks!

We have many wonderful candidates announcing theit intent to seek the Democratic nomination to challenge Trump. We all have our favorites, but remember: Most of us will not see our favorite win the nomination. So, I hereby pledge to support our nominee in 2020, whoever they are.

Looking for some good brain food for this evening? Check out my piece on the future of transportation and its impact on real estate (and also, everything). Definitely educational, hopefully entertaining, and just possibly correct. https://t.co/ylW4uBXPAa

Every day, millions of people go through this. It’s happened to me, multiple times, under different insurance scenarios. It’s crazy.
