This is still my favorite part of this week, because I saw hope on social media for the first time in a while. Hold on to that hope, keep marching, and make good trouble!
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Currently Reading: Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

This was my introduction to Terry Pratchett forever ago. Fun to revisit now, and with Peter Serafinowicz as Death and Bill Nighy as the footnotes. (Clever way to do the footnotes, honestly.)

When people ask how do you read so much, I think about days like the superbowl, which I spend snuggled with my dog in a cozy nest of pillows and blankets surrounded by piles of books that I am currently reading. I mean that is the answer... #booksky
