President Biden is a man of deep faith and extraordinary resilience. Chasten and I are keeping him, and the entire Biden family, in our prayers for strength and healing.

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾♀️.
Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!
My Saturday PSA:
Joe Biden isn’t the president anymore.
Instead, we’ve got a mentally deranged and ethically compromised old man with the nuclear codes trespassing in the Oval Office.
Stop talking about Joe Biden.
Start talking about the Convicted Felon, Donald Trump.

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc.

It was an honor to have met with President Biden in the Oval Office just weeks before he left office.
Today, I am sending my deepest prayers to the President and his family, and am hoping for his speedy recovery.
sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

BREAKING: In a powerful moment, Bono and Sean Penn, just stood in solidarity with Ukrainian soldiers on the Cannes red carpet. Bono and Sean Penn are doing more to stand up for our allies than the President.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.
Not dying.
Just logging off.
Getting a job no one cares about.
Growing tomatoes.
Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.
Not as a failure.
But as a kind of freedom.

I have a folder full of first chapters that will never see the light of day.
When I abandon a story, it's rarely because I ran out of ideas. Usually something in the execution just isn't clicking - a character feels flat, the pacing drags, or the plot refuses to cooperate.
Some stories are meant to live only in that first-chapter graveyard.
