@JarnoldJohnson @emilygburgardt A spin off of Cheers called “It Comes in Pints???”

When we use the past to translate the present, we confront the limits of our vocabulary. Healing often requires us to expand our word base. #trauma

Curbside pickup is by far the best new pandemic invention.

I took 5 minutes to craft a quick message and send this to my congressmen. Please do so too! The arts are in danger now more than ever. #theatre #write #music

I recently had a chance to talk Madame Bovary, one of my favorite books, with Brian Wilson and Anne Kniggendorf on Combat and Classics.

MB is the perfect tragedy. Definitely add this book and this podcast to your pandemic entertainment list.

I often claim I don’t have roots—moving 35 times will do that. But my pandemic pantry tells the real tale.

This girl was raised on tuna fish salad, Asian spices, and 15 bean soup.

It makes perfect sense in my head.

There’s this fantastic little play running at @Uniondallas produced by @FlexibleGrey. Please consider washing your hands very carefully and going out to support this stellar show.

My COVID hibernation plan? Continue with normal, hermit, writerly life, now featuring a slightly overfull pantry.

I’m incredibly lucky to find my life disrupted only in small ways. Thinking of all who are catastrophically affected and holding them close in between keystrokes.

There’s this great new show playing at @theatrethree! Read my review of it here: https://t.co/iw8eODqUCT

Last week I rediscovered the joy of downtime.

I love my job and always have plenty on my list. It was very hard to unplug even a little at first.

Today, after a peaceful, low key weekend, I feel behind—but I’m not stressed about it.

This is what rest does for the soul.
