Overturning Roe v Wade for the reasons it was is the worst kind of evangelism. Legally sanctioning a set of religious beliefs onto a nation is dictatorship not democracy. It’s a direct denial of Gods gift of free will.

Decided to celebrate the last night of being almost a full human with rights in this country by paying for some random (embarrassingly bad) shoplifter’s condoms at 7-11. Hope those work.

"My dear Mr. Hughes: I am the author of a three act dramatic play on Negro family life. I have tentatively chosen as a title for this work a line from one of your poems. The line is: 'a raisin in the sun.'" Lorraine Hansberry to Langston Hughes & his reply, 1958 @YCAL_JWJ

#FromTheArchive: “My point is that it has to be both: beautiful and political at the same time. I’m not interested in art that is not in the world.” —Toni Morrison, Nov/Dec 2008 https://t.co/AO0CaC2gKw

Kristen Welker is the star of this debate. She’s leading it. Go fierce follow ups, and “leading from behind” to steer the convo to depth.

"The world is violent and mercurial — it will have its way with you. We are saved only by love — love for each other and the love that we pour into the art we feel compelled to share: being a parent; being a writer; being a painter; being a friend." https://t.co/IzTNlFJ6ZU

@GlennonDoyle She’s excellent.

[Nancy Johnson @NancyJAuthor]

Your job as an author is to ask questions surrounding theme, not to answer them. Then complicate things. Great advice from @rebeccamakkai at the @StoryStudio Writers Festival! #sscfest2020
