My grandfather was always my biggest supporter. I’m thrilled to share this essay for @NYTimesWordplay about doing crosswords with my grandfather and the life lessons he imparted along the way. ♥️ 💜 @DebAmlen

"We weren’t just figuring out how words fit on the page. We were learning how to navigate uncertainty together." @seesamwrite explains how solving crosswords with her grandfather throughout his illness turned into a loving, lasting gift. trib.al/pd25w6H

A rollercoaster of an essay about grief, uncovering childhood secrets, and the simple foods by which we remember those we love by @kittenwithawhip @foodandwine foodandwine.com/when-my-mom-di…


“The unfettered exchange of ideas is essential to the preservation of a free and democratic society.” @ALALibrary Read my latest in @readersdigest to learn how you can fight #BookBans rd.com/article/banned… #booksunbanned @BKLYNlibrary @BannedBooksWeek @DebHarkness

The disappearance of manual transmissions is one more in a long line of moves leading to the automation of culture and separating humans from processes and understanding. @TheAtlantic @ibogost theatlantic.com/technology/arc…

We can all support #publishing industry change by seeking out less-represented writers, reading their work, and sharing it with others. Spread the love!

For ⁦@NYTmag⁩, I spent a year reporting this article about the problematic history of diversity in book publishing and the ways it has affected editors, authors and what you see (or don’t see) in bookstores nytimes.com/2022/06/22/mag…



Please read and share my latest- a teacher’s perspective on how we can all take action to prevent school shootings for @readersdigest #GunReformNow @Everytown @sandyhook @GiffordsCourage @bradybuzz @utmbhealth @DrJeffTemple @essentialprtnrs rd.com/list/preventin…


If we’re not standing up for our and others’ children, no one else will.

I channeled my grief and rage into an essay (such a small thing, but not nothing, I hope) for @OprahDaily. I ask you: WHAT ARE WE DOING? How are we going to protect our children? Because if ours are still alive today, it’s only because we’re lucky. oprahdaily.com/entertainment/…



“Let’s supplement thoughts and prayers with concrete steps, based on nerdy evidence-gathering, based on hard conversations with people we disagree with, to reduce gun deaths so that elementary schools need not be graveyards.”@NickKristof #GunReformNow nytimes.com/2022/05/25/opi…
