We want LeVar Burton to host Jeopardy for the same reason we venerate Bob Ross and Mr. Rogers, and the same reason the show Ted Lasso is so popular. Our culture yearns for, and desperately needs, men who are kind and gentle, and who will teach that by example.

Just saw a pirate site where a single book of mine…a book that never earned out its advance…has more than 41 THOUSAND ratings. It’s crushing to think about the difference that would have made to my family if it were actual sales. I know pirates wouldn’t pay anyway, but JFC.

It's interesting to me how many people think this tweet is about Alex Trebek. It's not. It isn't even really about Jeopardy. It's about why so many of us want to lift up men like LeVar Burton.

Once again I've been told I'm alienating potential readers with my stance against Trump. Here's my reply: "I'd rather never sell a book again than stay silent about the racist, misogynist, corrupt, ignorant rapist in the White House." Priorities, people. Have a voice? Use it.

In my teens and 20s, people told me I'd become more conservative as I got older and "understood" things. Now I'm in my 50s and every day I grow more progressive, more liberal, more socialist, and more infuriated by the people "they" said I would become. It's called empathy.

Ignore all polls. Assume we’re losing. Hillary was way ahead in nearly every poll. Fight until the last vote is counted.
