I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.

I laugh now that I used to think living in six states made me some kind of nomad. Who can destroy my score of 202 on this? And when can I give Arkansas its due? tenpages.github.io/us-level/…

I will always show up to meet the neighbor who's giving me free pancakes.
San Francisco is in a bad way. Vibes are all effed up. I can’t do much to solve the problems here, but I can make pancakes. So I hung up fliers all over the neighborhood and made pancakes. Over 75 people came and over 125 pancakes were eaten. Here’s what I learned: 👇

I honestly wasn't sure how taking a FT job at @virginia_tech would play out after 20 years of freelancing. But I get to write about classes I wish I could take and interview like 10 inspiring people in a row, so I think it's going to be okay. vtx.vt.edu/articles/2022/01/…

Who lives in Wisconsin?? I'm taking calls on the radio today at 3:30 pm CT with @centraltimewpr. You can stump me live on air with your place-related conundrums, like how do I start to love the place I hate, or why are my neighbors such jerks? It'll be fun.

The secret agenda of my new book (from @Sourcebooks next year) is to convince people to go home and/or give small towns a chance. So happy I got to talk to @Rainesford about this for *her* new book.
"There is a stigma in America against not only small towns, but staying in the same place at all." In an excerpt from her book "An Ordinary Age," @rainesford argues that moving to a big city is not a rite of passage, and moving home is not a failure: on.theatln.tc/clTHZe4
