Kristi Williams isn’t going to back down. Kristi Williams starts each lesson with a pledge: “We will remember the humanity, glory and suffering of our ancestors and honor the struggle of our elders.” Kristi Williams is a modern day hero.

Read moreAPPLE ONE: ONE SHADY SUBSCRIPTION MODEL TO RULE THEM ALL
Just got the notice on my iPhone that Apple is increasing their Apple One subscription price. I don’t like it, but I feel like I’m stuck with it. How did I get here? It all started when iTunes Match came out and I subscribed. It was glorious. Not only could I listen to my music from anywhere, I could listen to my music anywhere - the music I’d imported that Apple had magically matched to better quality versions of the same songs.

This is what I woke up to this morning, and what I’m grateful to wake up to almost every morning. It’s a Kate Bush coffee mug full of coffee and a glass full of water. My husband brings them to me (sometimes the coffee is in a Prince coffee mug) and sits with me and then together, we wake up. Sometimes we talk about things. What our plans are for the day.

Michael and I took a walk to the branch library. We can see the building from our back door, but you can’t walk there in a straight line because the fenced off baseball fields and playground are in the way. (We just love those fenced off baseball fields and playground. They aren’t a nuisance at all, and neither are the parents who bring their kids to them in the summer, who take up all the street parking and yell and scream and yell and cheer and yell and yell.

Because from where I’m sitting, your party, the self-proclaimed moderates, the far right nut jobs, the KKK, the political terrorists, you’ve all been singing from the same hymnal and achieving the same outcomes for a couple generations now…it might be time you thought about that title a little more intentionally.

Read moreSTRANGE THINGS: MY REACTION TO THE SONG
I drafted this little paragraph after I listened to a song by Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet. The song is called Strange Things and it lives on an eponymously titled album. Abigail Washburn is a clawhammer banjo playing singer songwriter. She plays bluegrass, speaks and sings in Mandarin, is married to Béla Fleck, and has a very short, but very powerful and memorable TED talk about the importance of music and the power it has to connect people and cultures (Building US-China Relations … by Banjo).
