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.

After saying "goodbye" to our oldest pup, Norah Jones, last week, I've started socializing our other two pups - Freddie Mercury and Sondheim. 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.

forgetting your headphones at home is the modern equivalent of leaving your sword behind in medieval times

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.

Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

Elon Musk owns Twitter/X.

When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy

"Somebody Somewhere" on HBO is such a thought-provoking, peaceful character study of humanity. That show truly helps me feel connected, grounded, and centered again.

Oh, you "heard" there was a secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord? Cite your sources, bro. This is how misinformation spreads

Good. At least there were consequences.

No, Trump Cannot Run for Re-election Again in 2028 The Constitution sets a two-term limit for presidents. Still, Donald J. Trump has repeatedly floated the idea that he might like to stay in the White House beyond his next term.

Will Trump try to repeal the 22nd Amendment? Who knows, but this article brings some peace of mind ...for now.

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

A real thing in my actual family:

β€œI can’t believe you’re not inviting me to Thanksgiving. All I did was vote for someone who wants to deport half of the family while taking away the rights of most of the people who would remain.”

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.

Moon's far side once had erupting volcanoes, scientists find Volcanic rock, dating back billions of years, has been detected in the first samples collected from the mysterious "dark side".

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.
