Dear President Biden, I’m not quite done with the alumni magazine photo spread I brought up the other day. I neglected to tell you that all of the photos are credited and the apparent genders of the photographers add another layer to the Anonymous is Still a Woman story. Again, I am only focusing on …
Grief haiku I
Dear President Biden, Thank you for sharing in our collective grief and mirroring it back to us today as we attempt to wrap our minds, and more importantly, our hearts, around the staggering numbers of US who have died from COVID-19 this past year. I love how you talked about each of those people having …
Gratitude haiku II
Dear President Biden, I’m pretty much out of steam and so tonight I’m sending another gratitude haiku to you because as horrible as our overall COVID numbers are and as sad and infuriating as the weather-related deaths in the South and Southwest are, I’m grateful you’re trying to make things better and not worse. It’s …
We need a Cabinet-level Office of Equity
Dear President Biden, I’m a few days late getting started, but this morning I decided that the thing to give up for Lent is reading any news articles or opinions that are clearly about DJT. It’s time to kick that habit. After so many years of digging into whatever nasty thing he was up to …
Let’s accelerate around the evil rot monsters
Dear President Biden, Thank you for officially putting us back in the Paris Climate Agreement today and for representing US and democracy at the G-7. I bet there were a lot of people who were very happy to see you and very happy to have us back on track. I also bet there are a …

We need the best PR people to debunk the “extreme winter weather = no global warming” B.S.
Dear President Biden, It’s so great that it didn’t ever occur to me that you wouldn’t declare disasters in some states because of how they did or didn’t vote for you – of course you’d do what needed to be done whether as state is “red” or “blue.” Obviously the issue is in play because …
A gratitude haiku
Dear President Biden, In honor of Presidents Day here is a haiku for you: You have trained for thisnearly your entire lifetimeand I am grateful. I am wondering, though, why is it “Presidents Day” and not “President’s Day”? I just double-checked and learned that we’ve had this holiday since 1796 to honor George Washington’s birthday …
The smashed pickle jar
Dear President Biden, Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you and Dr. Biden had a good day. The Sweetart-like hearts she had installed on the lawn at your place are pretty darn adorable. Right in keeping with the cookies she distributed to the National Guard folks when they were looking out for everyone there in DC …
On behalf of US
Dear President Biden, Whenever the WP’s Robin Gavhin contributes an editorial I try to save it for last so that I can take her with me into whatever I’m doing next. She has a way of being able to do her truth telling quietly – no bombast, no righteous indignation, no loudness whatsoever. I’m sure …
Revolutionary ego-tripping
Dear President Biden, Her sermon isn’t posted yet, but it probably will be in a couple of days and you could listen to it here, if you’d like. The Dr. Reverend Kelle Brown of Seattle’s Plymouth United Church of Christ was on fire yesterday. Her sermon “The Necessity of Ego-tripping” riffed off of Nikki Giovanni’s …
