Pitching a new film to Hollywood. SPEED meets Joan Didion in a world where you have to tell yourself stories in order to live... literally. (M. Night Shyamalan to direct?)

Three GOP Senators actually did vote 'No,' despite having their careers threatened. Which is why, if you have a GOP Representative, you should call and badger them to vote NO in the House.

They know this bill is unpopular. Poke as many holes in it as you can! Unleash Hell!

Pigeons? Art? Libraries?? This book was such a delight! Bravo Katie Fricas! Out from @dandq.bsky.social

I was in the presence of the mystery Of the plenitude and the majesty Of the gifts and the giving and the grant Of the ever-flowing process of reality: Love is knowing in unknowing Love is the majesty of the mystery Of the abundance of surrender When suddenly all the senses chant, And the mind, caught in the anthem, [missing lines]

I rarely post personal things. But I need to talk about my 4-year-old niece, Hope.

She has a rare disease. A drug called elamipretide has helped her survive.

But the FDA recently denied its approval.

Now, her health hangs in the balance.

Please share her story & urge the FDA to reconsider. 🧵

OMG We’re funded????? Thank you all who donated and shared!!! We have closed the campaign!

Without due process there is no law.

Thanks, Gil
love love love 💗💗💗

Congrats Jesse!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏

Nothing that SCOTUS did today prevents any state, anywhere, from doing exactly this. Respond to SCOTUS upholding discrimination by antitrans states by making your own state as protective of trans people as possible.

I see you Tennessee. 🏳️‍⚧️🩷🩵🤍

The Army Was the Only Life She Knew. Trump’s Trans Ban Cast Her Out.

The bravery of this woman cannot be overstated. The cruelty of the current admin is the point. It undermines and demeans us all.

Yay Eddy!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Pencilling in the page of my brother’s birth—on his birthday! Happy Birthday to my little brother Blake born 49 years ago today!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Pride. Take a few minutes to listen to some queer voices of the past.

Because queer, trans, LGBTQ+ people have always existed and will always exist. No matter what certain lawmakers in DC try to do.

This morning we drove to Bozeman Pride for @zoandbehold.bsky.social to speak, then went down to Yellowstone and saw incredible sights.

Then, on the drive back to Missoula at 1AM, the heavens erupted.

Naked eye visible aurora. The northern lights told us Happy Pride :)

SO great to see you ❤️❤️❤️

Go get this immediately!!!!!

true also of cartoonists. I think about this when I see my friends in performing arts do their thing. You get this immediate visceral feedback, I get email complaining about typos.

Just finished reading PREPARING TO BITE by my friend KEILER ROBERTS. It is hilarious and original, and despite the dog on the cover, cats approve.

Opinion | West Point Is Supposed to Educate, Not Indoctrinate

My friend Graham Parsons, a tenured professor at West Point, writes powerfully about his decision to resign in response to the academy’s capitulation to the Trump administration: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Finished this rainy morning: “The Knitting Circle” 22”x30”, ink & colored pencil ❤️💛🩵💙

Thank you!! I’ve been wracking my brain, but I don’t think I did anything about that Ted Kooser poem. I love him, but I don’t recall anything like that.
