We’re one mistake, accident or deliberate act away from nuclear catastrophe. Our family is folding cranes this week to call on leaders to pull us back from the brink and end the dangerous arms race. #CranesForOurFuture

The existence of nuclear weapons is an existential threat to our very humanity. It is our urgent moral duty and our obligation to future generations to work toward their elimination and create a security structure where nuclear weapons have no place. I am sharing a #CranesForOurFuture @NTI_WMD to underline the pressing need for creating a world free from nuclear weapons

@EmilyOhMy Wow Emily! He’s beautiful! Congratulations!!!

My family joins with people around the globe in sharing a paper crane, a symbol of peace, in hopes that our world never experiences another Hiroshima or Nagasaki #CranesForOurFuture

The overhead view makes Rich Strike's comeback for the upset @KentuckyDerby win look even more incredible. 😮 #KyDerby | @ChurchillDowns

Some people shake hands. Others bow. Some use chopsticks, others forks. We speak in dialects. Whales, it turns out, do similar things. My @NatGeo cover story on the cultural lives of orcas, sperm whales, humpbacks + belugas, w/amazing @Brian_Skerry pics nationalgeographic.com/magazine/artic…

@CraigAWelch @laurajoparker @rboyle31 @hannahdreier @griotworks @MatthewTeague @chrisasolomon Thanks Craig...coming late to this thread but appreciate the love.

Anyway...I could go on. File on my desktop includes stories from @laurajoparker @rboyle31 @petergwin @hannahdreier @griotworks @MatthewTeague @chrisasolomon. All different. Some spare, some elaborate. Read 'em, study 'em. Figure out how they do it. I promise: It's actually fun.

Was asked to share stories in my "Inspiration" file. So, a thread. This @brookejarvis is an elegant study in narrative question vs meta-narrative Q. First: Do Tasmanian tigers live? 2nd: Why even look? And all wrapped up in a wild subculture. Wonderful. newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

I recently started a series on what I’m reading and listening to, and I’m back with another recommendation. This time, I’m sharing one of my favorite podcasts: Overheard at National Geographic:
