Highly recommend. I’m privileged and blessed and not everyone will understand but I did what my late mother would have wanted. Her life and death were a warning to me. Do what’s best for you. #expat by @zerlinamaxwell

When I moved to Sicily, I thought I understood what I was signing up for. I had a dream. I created the vision in my mind. I had the plan and the apostille’d documents (IYKYK). I had learned to have more patience while navigating the Italian bureaucracy.I had the courage to leave a life that looked good on paper but didn’t feel good in my body. What I didn’t have was any real understanding of how much this place would change me. I’m not a new person but I am very different now, and in some ways I think this is always who I was supposed to be. As Dr. Thema Bryant would say, I returned home to myself.A little more than a year later, I can tell you this: Sicily didn’t just give me a new life. It rewired the way I live my life.Head to Substack for the 5 things I've learned living in Sicily for a year (link in bio). by @zerlinamaxwell

Kamala Harris says the highest-stakes moments are the ones you cannot plan. You have to trust your instincts and make the call. She reflects on the 107 days and on how the American people showed up in community across backgrounds and brought their full selves to the moment. Harris argues that no election or individual should be allowed to dim the light people carry in their belief about what is possible.#kamalaharris #2026 #leadershipskills by @zerlinamaxwell

Of course, nobody expects to get justice.The debate over the West Bank often focuses on headlines.Oren Ziv says the bigger story is what happens on the ground.The Israeli journalist describes what he calls a policy of de facto annexation through expanding settlements, military control, and the displacement of Palestinian communities.He argues the process isn't defined by one announcement.It's the accumulation of decisions that, in his view, make communities unlivable and force people from their land.Whether or not you've followed this issue closely, understanding the facts and the arguments behind one of the world's most debated conflicts matters.#Netanyahu #IsraelPalestine #OrenZiv by @zerlinamaxwell

We're living through one of the most exciting moments in space exploration while simultaneously risking the science that makes it possible. That's the contradiction.We're sending astronauts around the Moon for the first time in over 50 years.At the same time, NASA's science programs were facing a proposed 47% budget cut.Jack Kiraly of The Planetary Society says those cuts wouldn't just affect future missions.They would impact the scientists, instruments, and spacecraft behind the discoveries we're making right now.Congress ultimately rejected the proposal with rare bipartisan support.But by then, thousands of NASA employees had already left, believing the cuts were inevitable.Space exploration doesn't happen because of rockets alone.It happens because people invest in the science that makes every mission possible.#NASA #Artemis #SpaceExploration by @zerlinamaxwell
