 More than half a million women, men, and children descended upon the nation's capital yesterday and made our voices heard. It was an incredibly powerful, inspiring, and unifying experience—one of the most intense and amazing days of my life. Jezebel.com posted a story on its favorite signs from the D.C. march and my "Lyin' King" poster, which I made copies of for a few friends, made the list! Which made me happy and proud. A few personal photos from the march, below.

 Just interviewed Dr. Jodi Gold, a child psychiatrist and the author of Screen-Smart Parenting, a guide for Gen X parents—who she likens to "immigrants" struggling to navigate tech's new language even as their digitally savvy kids speak it fluently —on how best to set healthy screen limits in a positive way. I'll post this Q&A with her helpful tips when it's published in WebMD Magazine and on webmd.com.
