About
Yvonne lives in Berkeley, California with her partner and their four-legged family. During the day, she works at a racial justice think tank, crunching numbers to eradicate white supremacy. At night and sometimes weekends, she sits at her computer, trying to make sense of the world.
These are the fruits of her attempts. Apologies in advance if they are sometimes sour, not always sweet, unripe or not fully ready to launch. Yvonne is working on her craft of writing and playing with using all five senses.
Yvonne tweets, shares what she reads, makes friends, takes pictures, and watches video. Occasionally, she chats and talks on the phone. She loves hearing from you at yvonnegrapher at gmail dot com.

Money, It’s A Gas
“Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.”– Pink Floyd, “Money”, Dark Side of the Moon (1973)
I really don’t mean for this blog to be one, long obsessive rant about the Fed Reserve. Really. But, I was excited to no end today to visit the Mu$eum of American Finance, in its [...]
Takes on Economic Crisis
The Federal Reserve announced Tuesday morning the biggest one-day reduction of interest rates on record, by three-quarters of a percentage point to 3.5 percent. I read the news with great interest, having just digested a lengthy article on Ben Bernanke, the chair of the Fed as of 2005, in the Sunday NYT. [...]
