it&#39;s really hard to give inspiring talks to civil servants and people who care about our shared history (in all its fucked up glory) in today&#39;s world but I tried real hard today to keep the lights on and talk about shared values and collaboration and working from a place of good humor and collegiality but wow I was exhausted by the time I got out of Portland
