Find it really weird when you’re in a restaurant and they ask you if you have any allergies, to which you reply “yes” and list them. Then they say, “they’re not on my allergy list” and shrug, then go away, as if that means they don’t exist and nothing can be done 🤨

Write what Al can't touch.
Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies.
Try moving your hands.
It's fine if your mind remains a jumble.
Ideas scattered across the paper.
Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

It’s weird, but I found working on a plane - in a crowded middle seat - of all places a really good place to work 😅🤨 there are no distractions (for my brain, at least - there are tons all around). You can stick some noise cancelling headphones on and just plough on through…

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.
