A published playwright, former journalist, award-winning actress, and occasional director. Blue in Georgia. I like peace, animals, history, astronomy, and nature. Also? Owls - I am a big fan.
Tonight, I attended my first ever PFLAG meeting. The love, support, respect, and understanding in that room were palpable. Those people helped mend my broken soul a little. I am so grateful that young people today have such a supportive community available to them, especially these days.

Norah was chronically anxious, so it wasn't fair to force her to be around the public. Our other two? They enjoy it, so we're all becoming ambiverts.

The idea that you *must* coexist with and listen to people who are cruel, unjust, and just plain unpleasant to be around is the logic of abusers, by the way

Last week, I portrayed Victoria Woodhull in a staged reading of Fred Kempner's musical, "Victoria Woodhull; America's Mistress." Woodhull was the first woman to run for president of the United States. Anthony Comstock was a main character. It seems so much changes, so much stays the same.
Brilliant! Our universe is so incredible. And - just imagine - we don't even know the half of it.

Today, I left Instagram and TikTok. I left Facebook months ago. I haven't had a Twitter account for 6+ years. Now I find myself on Blue Sky; this is the first time I have felt completely connected, safe, and well-informed on any social media site since I first joined Facebook in 2006.
