This solid work. Great craft. Funny as hell.

We all need joy to function, and we need to find it wherever we can. Especially while we're fighting with everything we've got.

Here's some joy for your Monday. 🦉

Can’t count the ways these have helped and informed my career as an educator and as an artist.

Thank you, Mr. Moyers.

The rules:
1. Show up - really show up - fully present
2. Pay attention - both the task at hand and to the implications for the world outside this room.
3. Speak the truth - No elaboration needed.

Years ago I was at a theatre conference where the esteemed director Anne Bogart was giving a keynote address. In it, she shared her “rules” for collaboration in theatre which she claims she got from hearing Bill Moyers explain the rules for international diplomacy in the Johnson White House.

THIS IS OUTSTANDING

Or here's a thought--maybe we could hire more actual human teachers, pay them better, make class sizes smaller, build in more paid prep time, and generally just invest in education instead of investing in AI.

Make this go viral.

Sorry but I think I want to talk about your lame parade and the huge “No Kings” turn-out for a couple more days.

Happy Father’s Day, Paul. US Coast Guard. Electricians mate, 2nd class.

An ode to the dog dads on Father’s Day.

The parade is neither a roaring call to patriotism or tyrannical show of might. It's something much worse--boring

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

tweet from Chicago Trib reporter Rick Pearson: Advisory from IL Dem Gov JB Pritzker’s office on planned Wednesday visit of Homeland Security Secy Kristi Noem to Springfield: “We would urge all pet owners in the region to make sure all of your beloved animals are under watchful protection while the Secretary is in the region.” Can't really think of any Kristi Noem erotica nothing slays horniness faster than Mar-A-Lago face, which is like you took your hands, smush the facial features until their wee tines like Charlie Kirk—also supremely unfuckable—and then add enough lip filler to stuff a narwhal.

“Recently deputized” means “frustrated gym bros who wanna carry guns and boss people around.” It’s always the biggest failures at life who sign up first to be enforcers, torturers and concentration camp guards. This is beyond fucking dangerous and it’s gonna get people killed.

This brief summary of yesterday’s letter is really good.

Steven King- RFK Jr wants to cut Meals on Wheels to elderly and disabled persons. Another example of this administration’s unthinking cruelty. Pass it on, and possibly they will be embarrassed into continuing the program.
