So exciting to see my part time hometown featured on CNN today! I covered this town in my first piece at The Rumpus, “The Borderland.” (linked in profile.) I loved the mention of my pals Aaron Cooper, @shimstu and @photeaubeau! "While the country's national government may be divided, even paralyzed, the towns around this nation are often and strongly acting in a united way, facing their problems, negotiating their solutions and taking action for the greater good of their communities... ...Why are towns working when the national government isn't? Citizens of the towns have told us that they recognize that responsibility finally lies with them; they know what needs to be done, and they can't wait for someone, somewhere to come in and "save" them." Swipe to see why I love this place so much. #ajo @cnn @cnntravel #arizona🌵 #arizona #noborderwall

Sometimes the best writing mornings look like this on the outside and 💥 on the inside. Ingredients/instructions: heat 1 cup of rolled oats in a skillet until slightly brown and fragrant, pour onto a plate to cool. In a food processor, blend 1 cup chickpeas, rinsed, drained and add 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 c water, 4 tbsp honey. Blend until smooth. Add 1/3 cup cacao powder and 1/2 cup peanut butter until mixture begins to form a ball. Spoon into a bowl, fold in oats and roll mixture into tbsp-sized balls. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Keeps in the fridge for a week. Share with pals. #writing #baking #fireontheinside🔥🔥

Over the summer, I wrote about the trial of Scott Warren for The Rumpus. My Ajo, Arizona friends and fam are celebrating tonight. Scott was facing 20 years in prison for providing food, water, and shelter to 2 undocumented men, and last night, he was acquitted of all charges! It’s a good week for justice. Read “The Borderland,” linked in profile. Spectacular watercolor by artist @motherstime.mum #scottwarren @nomoredeaths_nomasmuertes #justice #immigration
