Issue 239 - August 28, 2023
Last night, attending an Angel City Football Club soccer game (they won 3–1!), I had a tearing up moment chatting with a woman I happened to be standing next to. She had come down to Los Angeles from the Bay Area to bring her two elementary school aged daughters to the game. She said, “Can you imagine? We never got to see anything like this. The women’s team, owned by women, run by women, supported by so many women?”
I looked at her girls cheering away, waving their Angel City scarves, and felt so proud of how far we have come on the long road to equality.

Issue 234 — July 5, 2023
Happy Fifth of July. It’s National Bikini Day in case you hadn’t noticed. And National Graham Cracker Day (who makes these things up?).
I needed that moment of levity coming off a Fourth of July that was tinged with anger, sadness, and a new resolve, in the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling last week eviscerating academic affirmative action precedents. Best selling author of The Memo and Right Within Minda Harts called it a sucker punch in her LinkedIn Post responding to the ruling.

My grandmother was a Bolshevik.
Grandmother Rose was anything but revolutionary by the time she was my primary caregiver during my preschool years in Temple, Texas. She came to America in 1920 to marry her fiancée from their home town in Lithuania, had two children, and learned to play domestic arts like the other traditional housewives in the neighborhood.
