"Word-work is sublime... because it is generative; it makes meaning that secures our difference, our human difference-the way in which we are like no other life. ... That may be the measure of our lives." --Toni Morrison "Word-Work" guides Writers Resist 2020. @writeRdemocracy

5 weeks until @writeRdemocracy! We're developing a killer line-up of impassioned writers ready to do honor to #tonimorrison and save #democracy. (yes.) A little taste of readers: @AmandaMarcotte @LiseFunderburg @AntheaButler @urucker @freedewi @frumpenberg @LoriTharps @NikilSaval

Happy birthday to Toni Morrison, whose concept of "word-work" inspires this year's Writers Resist programming on March 29. @writeRdemocracy and @ResistPHL.

Hey y’all. If you’re looking for a way to feel more hopeful/fend off political despair, getting involved in some direct action, even an hour or two a week, is still the best. Here’s one way. #WRITETHEVOTE2020
