You know that Big Horrible Bill the House just passed? It includes a loophole to stop judges from enforcing contempt of court charges against the Trump regime. That bill is now with the Senate. I just used @5calls.org to tell my senators to oppose it. I hope you will too: 5calls.org

Last fall I got an email from the Modern Love Podcast about me possibly being a guest on their show. Today it's live! Big thanks to producer Amy Pearl for making it happen, and to producer Reva Goldberg, and to host Anna Martin who made it feel like a chat with an old friend. #podcast #ModernLove

When Robin Eileen Bernstein bought a burial plot for her soon-to-be-ex-husband’s girlfriend, she never imagined she might actually end up there instead.

From now on I'm typing BlueSky with an upper case "S" because when I see "Bluesky" I keep saying blue-skee like it's someone's last name. 😄

You can't take the A train to Far Rockaway thru May. Track work over Jamaica Bay.

I grew up in Far Rock, taking the A with no heat or A/C. But h/t to my dad who called for track work in 1973 in the NYT. Ok the last line's a bit much but, like a good writer, he raised the stakes! #MemoirInProgress

Columbus Circle last week. A Hitchcock moment? And no phone booth to hide in. 😳😱😄

I took this pic last May when we stumbled onto a film shoot in Cape May NJ. "What movie?" we asked. A Dylan biopic we learned. It's now up for a bunch of Oscars.

Loved the extras in '60s garb. Likewise for the Johnny Cash tunes; we played 'em in my band way back.🥁🎸🎻🪕 #MemoirInProgress #drummergirl

NYC, Jan 22 @ 11am. How cold was it? So cold you could almost skate across the river to New Jersey. 🥶
