I knew Tania Elizabeth was (and is) a fantastic musician (string player for Avett Brothers), but I did not know at first what a beautiful and emotional singer she is. So beautiful, T, thank you!

My father was a military guy, enlisted, spent a career there eventually. He told me, when I was a kid, "once a country offers 'freedom' like in the US, it can never be taken away, people will never let it happen." Oh, Pops, I hope you're right on this one. #resist #truepatriotism #antifascist

I'm incredibly touched by the early responses to my next book, LIFELINES, to be published in May by @eandtbooks.bsky.social. Thank you, John.
I’ve been wondering for several years whether it was now possible for anyone writing in English to write a great book about living in Greece. Well, here it is. 1/2

I enjoy shopping so much because it makes me so utterly aware that I need absolutely nothing. Not those pants, not that shirt, not those shades, not that kitschy cute thing. Nada. (Well, maybe those boots. I might need those boots.) #stopshopping #reverendbilly #stopshoppingchoir #earthriotradio

Look closely. See that tiny patch of hair moving at the bottom of the frame? That’s my soul-cat’s heartbeat. She’s physically gone from the world—has been for 3 years. But her heart lives on. She’s young and healthy in the video, purring on my lap. I still feel her with me.

Our neighborhood has been working to save this dog who was dumped 2 weeks ago. Tonight we got him. It will be his first night in a warm, safe place. He looks scared here, because he is. But he is being well cared for. #humanesociety #dogrescue #animalrescue #nonhumananimals #dogsofbluesky #doglover
