Word of the day is ‘kuchisabishii’, from Japanese: boredom eating, or the making of frequent visits to the fridge in the hope of finding something new to munch on.

Its literal translation is ‘lonely mouth’.

I can't believe I didn't share this lovely essay written by David Perez, Jr. He writes about Celebrating Pride and the penitentiary. Writes about how "who are you married to" became the question that led him to a different kind of bravery. Read it! https://t.co/OSX8IlEbsZ

My friend and colleague Steven Parkhurst came home after doing seven days shy of 30 years. Freedom Reads was his first gig. And he painted this beautiful portrait of a man floating on the books that save him.

[Dwayne Betts @dwaynebetts]

This is what we do! I write this, or X this, or tweet this, after leaving a women's prison in Phoenix. I'm so tired of people telling me how worried about me they are. I went to prison at 16 years old and raised millions of dollars to go back inside and do.
