Writer, actor, and intuitive. I have two brilliant daughters, a humanities degree and a shocking disrespect for money.

Sigh. I had toughened myself enough to not cry at anything today (with the help of hard cider and gummy) but this one cramped my throat and made me cough and swallow…

And he did it TWICE. In ten seconds. He wanted no mistake made, he’s a NAZI.
Anyone who says this was NOT a Nazi salute can — with all due respect — fuck off.

I thought the MAGA people wanted church and state united? Thump was the only president in history that didn’t get sworn in with his hand on the Bible.
I was only slightly more shocked by Musk’s Nazi salute. This man has an office in the White House.
I feel sick. 🤢

The best bow out ever. I was hugely disappointed in Obama when he ignored this huge injustice done. Biden is at least letting him out.

Him: That’s Jack.
Me: No. but he sure looks like him. But I think he’s got shorty legs.

Bonne Maman. I always held close the warm fuzzy feeling I got whenever I got a jar, that my money was going to an ethical company. Saw this jar at Safeway in Ukiah, CA. Just a fluke, hopefully, and not fake bottom jarlike so many products have now. Non, Maman! 🍋🍒🫐🍑🥭🍓🍇

I volunteer to be the slightly witchy aunt who cheers everyone on while serving jasmine tea and scones. Will play classic rock kids need to know, also. We will have dance breaks.
Art class should never stop being a thing. Like if right after lunch we all got to go down to the basement for an hour, throw on a smock, and make collages out of old magazines while somebody's eccentric, slightly witchy aunt tells us how great we're doing, I feel like we'd all be in a better place.
