My new mini-doc 'FROM #ITALY WITH LOVE' portrays the historic roots of my #Italian born dad's odd first name: Dulio. It's not so odd when you track it back to Gaius Duilius, who won the first big sea battle for the #RomanEmpire in 260 B.C. westvirginiaville.substack.com/p/from-italy...

I am an inveterate Turtle Rescuer when they start trying to cross #Appalachian roads in the Springtime, stopping and ferrying them to safety. So I fully support this #turtle salvation measure.
Fun fact.
So to save turtles' lives Japanese railway workers built the turtles their own tunnels under the tracks.
These U-shaped concrete tunnels sit beneath the railroad tracks near the switch points, giving the turtles a much easier means of crossing.

We somehow must counter Trump’s onslaught of mis-rule & trauma w/protest & solidarity while ALSO leading rich, anti-traumatic lives. A frontline report from hanging out with pointy-eared medieval fairies & harps at the #WestVirginia #Renaissance Fest.

If you need a mental refresher on a day when Donnie Trump burns $45 million of our dollars on tanks, helicopters, soldiers & planes to crush the asphalt of DC while fan-boying himself as a god-emperor, here's a #babygoat in rural #WestVirginia. I stand with the baby goat. #NoMoreKings

This really cannot be said enough. The only two major internal crisis's in the US are combatting climate change and affording healthcare.
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
