I observed a brilliant colleague teach a class last week where the students are creating poetry films, and she warned them that the iPhone isn't great for capturing the Moon. But it turns out that if you actually go to the Moon, it works pretty well.

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

it's abuser behavior all the way down—look what you made me do: you forbade me from criticism and value judgments, you wouldn't let me say American culture is the best, so I had to stomp you with my hard power

I am so ready to celebrate your book when it comes out, hopefully when you stop at Books and Books in Miami on your worldwide book tour.

The guys who marched in lockstep with Bush during 9/11 and the Iraq War, and are now convinced those were Jewish plots, now want you to believe that Trump — who they have also spent a decade in lockstep with — is part of the same.

They won't do manicured lawn, that's for sure, but if you don't mind it a little longer and a little raggedy, then it does the job. I'm a little raggedy myself so it suits me fine.

slow down, look again, look closely, and you may see something you never noticed before, like today i noticed that what we mistakenly call spanish moss has these lovely little green flowers

Weird how aural memory works—I remember the timbre of his voice (but not the Cuban song he played after the intro).

He was only 5 years older than me, my god.

I taped his show, then taped over it later.

I think it's very, very important for Scotty to be careful when he talks about dilithium crystals.

I think it's very, very important for Judith Butler to be careful when they talk about gender.

I think it's very, very important for LeBron James to be careful when he talks about basketball.

I think it's very, very important for NASA to be careful when they talk about matters of aeronautics and space.

thank you to my birder friends for refraining from pointing out my mistake in this post yesterday—chimney swifts fly north and northeast (not south!) from the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America to reach South Florida in April, on their way further north to breed
