Over our brutal cancer year, my daughter Orli has documented herself for TikTok. It is a flipbook of her treatment & recovery & setbacks, a primer on how a middle schooler fathoms the unfathomable, and how she created a bridge to the outside world.

The location of U.S. Embassy in Israel has a long - political - back story. Listen to my conversation with @martin_Indyk on the @foreignpolicy E.R. podcast for the history of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995.

All of this strange and brutal year, Orli filmed herself - at home, in the halls of @BostonChildrens (in March, doing the Renegade with her #transplant surgeon), dancing w/ nurses & doctors @ChildrensNatl )- & narrating her story. TikTok got her moving, kept her motivated.

TikTok has allowed @SarahAWildman 's 11-year-old daughter Orli to document her cancer story. The result is "a flip-book of a grueling year, a documentary of illness and recovery, persistence, silliness and, yes, even joy."

I also want to say that today's @nytopinion piece was my first working with new editor, @SarahAWildman . Who amazed me with her respect & tenacity, and her understanding of what I was trying to do. A @wesleyan_u alum! WE ARE EVERYWHERE.

On @Foreignpolicy #FirstPerson podcast I spoke to @JEPomfret about #TianamenSquare - 30 years later. John Pomfret was on the ground in Beijing during the protests and the crackdown. Don't miss this eyewitness account. I learned a lot: cc @BeijingPalmer
