I'm going to start a thread of songs the kiddo loves to play over and over and over again. He definitely knows what he likes.

This is his current fave -

This was Alessandra Korap Munduruku this morning. She lives in the Brazilian state where COP is taking place this year! She was not given a pass into the Blue Zone.

These are the voices you should be listening to, boosting, and celebrating. Not the politicians who are attending #COP30!

Heather, 31, lives in a cluttered home in Pittsburgh where cats lick up leftover ketchup and The Illiad and Le Chanson de Roland - two books she's reading when not cross-stitching - prop up the latest doll drama on the floor. She is arranging dino chicken nuggets, a Laurie Berkner song come to life.

So here's that story about sneaking the black nanny into a Vegas show, in Esther's own words:
The children came right along with us to Las vegas. In the daytime, I could be there for their meals and take them swimming in those beautiful pools. There was no reason that they shouldn't be with us all the time now that we were staying at the Sahara Hotel. Or so I thought. The Sahara thought otherwise. My nanny, Jane boyd, was black. Actually, she was sort of café au lait but that distinction was lost on the management of the sahara, who declared that no blacks could set foot on the premises. I had heard all these stories about Lena Horne, Sammy Davis Jr, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, and other entertainers who were not allowed to stay at the hotels where they were headlining. I was amazed to find out that Vegas casinos never let black people even gamble. I have thought they would take anybody's money. The police in Las Vegas would step in and ask those who were black to leave the casinos. It was an ugly policy that was rigidly enforced, and Sahara was not making any exceptions for me or my children. If Gene were to take care of my three children, they would all have to stay across the tracks from the Sahara Hotel in an apartment complex that was clearly designated for the "help". Jane was not at all happy to be treated as "help". In my home, she was family. I had told her, "When I had my children over to you, I don't want them to feel any difference in the warmth of our arms. I want you to love them and care for them in the same way I do." And she did. We became good friends, and when I went through some tough [cont'd next photo] times, she was there for me. We shared holidays and vacations together, and because we wore the same size, we even shared clothes. She was a strong, assertive woman, and I liked that in her because it was good for the children. It almost broke my heart to send the children to a building away from me. There was no way I could explain. It was either that or back to Los angeles, where I wouldn't see them. I explained that "across the way" meant sleeping rooms because mommy and daddy came home so late at night. I was furious at the Sahara. Jane agreed to tolerate the "other side of the tracks" treatment because she knew how much I missed the children. One day, near the end of the engagement, I came to her and said, "Jane, I know you've been treated rotten and I appreciate that you've endured it for me. I've got an idea about how we can get back at the Sahara in a small way and have some fun." Her face brightened into a big smile for the first time in weeks. "I want you to try on this Indian sari that I brought along and see if you like it." The sari was a beautiful shade of turquoise with gold accents. Jane looked gorgeous in it. I asked her to invite her boyfriend, George, to come to Las Vegas for the last weekend of our show at the Sahara. We called a tuxedo shop to order his outfit and spent the rest of the afternoon trying to find some place that would make a glamorous looking turban. Jane and I researched the proper attire, jewelry, and makeup for Indian royalty. [cont'd] Next, I called Steve Parker, the manager of the Sahara showroom. "I've just had some exciting news," I gushed. "My friends the maharajah and the maharani of Jodhpur are in Los Angeles, and they are coming to Las Vegas for the last performance of our show!" The name was ridiculous, but I was improvising. "They're Indian royalty and I want them seated at a ringside table and given every courtesy of the Sahara." Parker was so enthusiastic about his showroom being graced by royalty and the possibility of their losing a small fortune at the tables, I considered putting a little heavy tan makeup on the kids and having the maharajah bring his whole family. But I realized the kids would start yelling "Mommy" and "Daddy" when we came on stage and blow the whole thing. [cont'd and yes I know this bit is problematic] "Oh, by the way," Parker asked, "are the Jodhpurs going to be *your* guests?" This was Las Vegas code for "Are you picking up the tab?" "These people are royalty," I said indignantly. "Any hotel on the strip would be honored to have them. If you prefer, I'll entertain them somewhere else." He was still apologizing when we hung up. When Jane in her sari and George in his turban arrived at the showroom that night, Steve Parker was there to greet them personally. Jane looked radiantly beautiful. The orchestra played a fanfare when they entered and the audience applauded as Steve escorted "the royal couple" to a ringside table. As he promised, they got the A treatment, from flowers to Dom Perignon. When I came on stage, I introduced them as dear friends who had entertained me so lavishly in India and I dedicated the show to them. When the show was over, Ben and I went down and sat ringside with them. The tourists couldn't take enough snapshots of us, and Jane and I were kept busy autographing programs. At the end of the evening, Jane and George went back to the little apartment across the tracks where my children were waiting up for them with a sitter. The next morning, Steve thanked me very warmly for bringing them and assured me that the Sahara was honored to have had them as the hotel's guests. He even complimented me on what a special night I had arranged for them. I said, "Yes, wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do this for all of our friends." He missed my double meaning. The Sahara Hotel never knew that they were the first establishment in Las Vegas to break the color barrier.

Wednesday's Vibe Check podcast episode with Blakely Thornton was exactly what I needed. Grown up angry discussions about politics + a fun conversation about hot criminals (and why we like them).

Also they're right about the new Florence+ the Machine album. It's the catharsis I need right now.

A local park is supposed to be getting some redevelopment $. I'm hoping they've studied the 5 groups that use the park:
- people buying/selling drugs
- Indian couples making out
- old people walking their dogs
- disabled people out for day visits, &
- shut-ins like us who eat lunch there sometimes.

I would like to know how much the dental industry is paying Play-Doh to make these horrifying sets. Are they trying to get kids to grow up to be dentists?
A photo of a Play-Doh kit that has a plastic little boy face and upper torso, reclined on a dental chair. Half his face (where his mouth should be) is open with big holes you're supposed to fill with Play-Doh teeth and a tongue. It's incredibly creepy. There's also a selection of dentist like tools.

🚨Deadloch heads: S2 of the Aussie crime satire/drama (it's good!) arrives on Amazon Prime March 20. Many chaotic Aussie weirdos return/debut. But HEADS UP they have added a Hemsworth (Luke)! This is not a drill! Kudos to the hair & costume team for this whole deal. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...
Luke Hemsworth in S2 of the Amazon Prime drama Deadloch, with a lot of hair gel and an outdoorsman type of look -- green short sleeve shirt and logo of a croc hunting company Detectives Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami, left) and Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) are in Australia’s sweltering Top End, aka the Northern Territory, investigating the death of Eddie’s former policing partner, Bushy, in Season 2 of Deadloch. But when the body of a local icon is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a sweatier, stickier, croc-ier crime case. (Most of this is from the Amazon Prime press release on S2)
