I enjoyed being a guest at the author book reading and Q&A sessions of the 2025 conference for The New England Association of Teachers of English. Big thanks to the teachers who work tirelessly every day to provide the best possible education for our kids. #books #Damselfly

I’m in @TheEconomist today screaming (literal) bloody murder about situation in El Fasher. Break glass. Pull fire alarm. Call 911 + your elected representatives. We are passing point of no return in Darfur. Meanwhile, international community issues press releases as time runs out

Stone relief of a chained hydra on exterior of #Kilmainham Gaol in #Dublin. I couldn’t help but notice that the historical gaol’s execution of political prisoners seeking independence resonates starkly with world events today.

This Earth Day, let’s protect the only planet we’ve got by taking action in the fight against climate change.
