It’s not like they were planting grapevines at a Coldplay concert…

A Battle with My Blood When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

“When you are dying, at least in my limited experience, you start remembering everything.” Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, writes about receiving a terminal diagnosis. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/4SkkDI

A Battle with My Blood — The New Yorker When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

That this has come out on the same day as RFK’s cousin’s article in THE NEW YORKER is just too much for me. apple.news/ApAqLMZKHRXq...

We need Skinner & Ripley in a musical about the last days of The Kessler Twins.

What about the non-Equity shows Ric says he’ll book “to make the Kennedy Center competitive”? How do we know when we are supporting Union workers with our ticket-buying dollars?

Thank you for saving me money! I suspected everything you just confirmed for me.

“And please keep your fingers curved as nice and high as you possibly can.”

Just to keep track: according to POTUS pardons, the following things are no longer illegal: 1. Insurrection 2. Money laundering 3. Attempting to overthrow federal elections. What else?

On completing today’s Wordle, my niece said, “I’ve never heard of that word.” Which means she doesn’t know the title of the first song in GUYS AND DOLLS, so therefore I have failed in my duty as her aunt.

Ooooh! I hope you enjoyed that post-procedure sleep! 😴

Did they give away cars?

I have seen it time & again in my working life. Someone promoted to a position beyond their capabilities focuses not on mastering the responsibilities of their current position, but on continuing to do what they think they did well in their last job. So: signage.

Dear Military, if Trump orders you to attack NYC tonite please don’t, LOL. Not sure what an all caps ‘and so it begins’ means but fellow Americans are not the enemy. Trump is a threat to democracy & you won’t be proud of the BS he is pulling in the end, nor will history be kind.

Keep calling out those who try to normalize the lawlessness of the Trump White House and the fealty of House Republicans.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

If Lincoln saw his bathroom now he'd shit.

Just like in the Pep Club yearbook picture.

If you don’t understand the peril of a POTUS accepting private money to build a facility on government property, or to pay the military during a government shutdown, I really don’t know what to say to you, except maybe, “Take a civics class.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

I live an apt that never gets trick or treaters, but I still have a RULE that can be summarized as #everyonegetscandy. Kids too shy to say “Trick or Treat” get candy. Teens not wearing costumes get candy. Babies too young to chew also get candy (their moms can enjoy it). Don’t withhold candy! 🎃

😭😭😭😭

So, apparently money-laundering is legal now?

Mr. P. Is Nick Scott’s spirit animal🥜🧐

There were at least 300,000 people at No Kings in NYC.

Hundred

Thousand.

Did he demand that you smile, too?

Only 2 dances in on #DWTS dedication night, and I’m already a weeping mess. And William Daniels is scheduled to appear??? These tear ducts are in for a work out!

Going to the Academy Museum Sunday to see a certain movie we both love in 70mm in observance of its 60th birthday, & suspect I will weep through it pre-grieving the loss of its star.
