Nikole Hannah-Jones
Nikole Hannah-Jones spoke to a full house at the Embassy of France on The 1619 Project. She was fascinating and eloquent despite an interviewer who had never heard of Ida B. Wells and who interrupted her repeatedly (which she handled imperturbably, with grace). I was sitting waaay in the back so my sketch is rather, well, sketchy.
Dog Lover
Book Club: The Mercies
Discussing the new novel by Kiran Millwood Hargrave, and grateful not to be living in 17th century Vardø (or 17th century anywhere).
DC Walks, Late Winter
Snow and daffodils: the turning of the year.
Godzilla and Birdie Go for a Walk
Everyday Joys: Candle (before/after)

It’s Fun to Be a Senior
Getting in on the ground floor.
Dolci Gelati / Dolci Amici
We live an ocean apart, but at each get-together it’s as if no time has passed.
Breakfast Among the Waterlilies
