No cheating. The last saved celebrity pic on your phone is your therapist.

It’s not even that Jed Bartlett is a fictional president. It’s that he represents what we believed a President of the United States could be: thoughtful, supremely intelligent, erudite, faithful, civic minded, and above all empathetic. I miss feeling that way about my President.

The West Wing, Season 2 Episode 8 - Shibboleth, in which the religious right goes to bat for a band of illegal immigrants because they’re persecuted for being Christians in their own country.
Imagine that now.

Mickey Mouse’s ears rotate on his head. There are videos explaining why this is necessary, but when I noticed it started to freak me out and now I can’t stop watching them.

JUST A REMINDER ...

... of how close we are today ...

The Two-headed Calf Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum. But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.

Well, now I’m just sobbing. Thank you Laura Gilpin. You are missed.

Yesterday, I was depressed and could barely get out of bed.

Today, I wrote 2 chapters of my new book and a short story.

Bad days don’t last forever. You can and will overcome.

Keep going. ❤️

I miss John Lewis.

I even miss John McCain.

Fighters on opposing sides.

...but both lions who would crawl through a mile of broken glass to defend our nation against fascism.

Just a quick reminder/request to treat today as a BIG CHAIN-STORE blackout. Your favorite, locally-owned & run comic shop, cafe, bookshop, or record store (my own fav)? They’re on our side. And one day of no business can really sting. Keep ‘em busy.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

Heads up!!! After February 25, you will no longer be able to download kindle books that you purchased. So make sure you take the time to download and save your library this weekend. And also, divest from Bezos and Amazon!!!

Special Election Alert Fl-01, Fl-06 and NY-21

Independents, Democrats, and Never-Trumper Republicans—here’s an action you can take right now! Support non-Trumper candidates in the upcoming House special elections, happening in less than 50 days on April 1, 2025. Winning these seats would mean the Republicans lose their House majority.

#BlackHistory is #AmericanHistory 💥🇺🇸💪🏽

Fun fact.

To federal employees thinking about accepting the paid permanent leave, ask yourself if you trust Trump to actually pay. History says don’t believe it. Shelter in place, friends.

🤌

I miss you and we’ve never met! Enjoy the good old city!

My son is obsessed with Elmo, so. I looked for his first appearance. He…sounds different.
