She'd like to speak to a manager.

That first pic is me and my new friend, Jackie, aged 90, who was very excited to be protesting. This was in very red Thousand Oaks, where apparently many, many more showed up after I left. And an absolute ton of supportive honking cars and semis, too. ❤️

Ok this is amazing @newyorker.com

Owl therapy for the day. Mom and dad. If you look closely, you can see the fuzzy babies under mom.

I would like to introduce you to my therapy owls, currently growing up in a tree at the Los Angeles Arboretum. I've been visiting them regularly to uplift my soul. I'm also getting better at bird photos, so I might share some from time to time.

Strong turnout in #Pasadena CA!

It's been a long year.

In other news, Baby's new thing is that she wants to be fed her meals from a spoon.

I am writing this from the safety of a friend's place, having evacuated from the #eatonfire yesterday. So many homes and businesses lost, and wildlife and nature affected. This may spark my departure from LA. Terrifying. Life can turn on a dime. I am so grateful for my circle. Stay safe, kids.

I guess I could post this song I just released, in case anyone needs a doomscroll break. Hope you like it.
