Incarcerating babies is an evil, morally bankrupt practice that calls into question any commitment our nation claims to have about the preciousness of children, the sanctity of family, and the importance of community.

I have been clean and sober over 18 years, and to this day I still walk into a bathroom stall and see how easy or difficult it would be to do coke in there.

If you read this and could share it (I have like seven followers) I’m trying to raise money to keep an amazing first gen student in college! They’re an amazingly talented young artist, and they deserve to finish school. Donating would be a kindness to this amazing kid. gofund.me/f793905c5

First gen student of mine has lost funding for school. When this happened to me when I was in #college the university president (Tom Kean) paid the bill for me. I don't have that kind of $, but I'm trying to raise it. The student is exceptional. Please give/share if you can. gofund.me/03bda32e2

I have zero reach here, but I'm trying to raise money for one of my students. Her grants were cut this year, and her family simply doesn't have the means to cover the bill. She's talented, driven, hardworking, and kind. If you could donate or share this post, it would be amazing. gofund.me/fa4a2893d

18 years clean and sober. Best decision of my life. My husband, my kid, my multiple careers all exist because I stopped drinking and doing drugs .

I wrote a play about the corrosive effects of the closet and how that shows up in conservative lawmakers. It’s called Model Congressman, and tonight it’s getting a reading at Capital Stage in Sacramento. It’s nice to celebrate this small victory in the midst of the world being on fire. #playwright
