Trying to strike a balance between “I’m over politics so I'm shifting to other avenues to save the world” and “But Trump…!” Leaning into meditation, long walks, max of 1 hour of news a day, and more Ren. Call me crazy, but Ren can propel our survival/revival. Every day he inspires me to be better.

Finally saw Hamilton live on stage, even though I have several connections to it, inc. knowing Jonathan Groff for 20+ years and being good friends with the show's original/pre-through Broadway publicist, Sam Rudy. Loved it! Everyone was great, but A. Ham., Washington and Eliza were my favorites. 💕

O. M. G.!!! Warriors, The Musical by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eisa Davis. Just a concept album now, but…

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.

Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Who’s with me?

“Not to ruin the wonderfully positive vibes on this site, but is anyone else here concerned that American society, politics, and culture have become morally and psychologically addled?” - George Conway

Remember to be kind to the addled, but never give them the car keys!

Yesterday I got sad that Ren was still using twitter a lot. I didn't want to be that fan: "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed." And I wasn't going to say anything because he's Ren, and I trust his intelligence and judgment implicitly... Today, the man has joined BlueSky. Deep sigh of contentment. ❤

Not Ren. Ren-Adjacent. 💕

Not Ren. But if we're comparing native talent the two of them would be in a dead heat. OMG her voice! And yes, kids, she is playing the drums; she was an amazing drummer. A true superstar.

Having one of those mornings. Brain damage causing brain fog and confusion. What to do? Chop wood, carry water. Or in my case have coffee, do laundry. It doesn’t have the same ring to it…

Brainstorm! High School Theatre Depts, change your Spring Musical to The Sound of Music. It just seems like a really good time to revisit it. If not a musical, how about The Diary of Anne Frank? Colleges, theatres - Cabaret. What do you have the power to do in your own life? Put on a show!

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

The SPTV Foundation got its official tax exempt status! For the past year they’ve been doing amazing work helping people escape/leave Scientology. Congratulations, team, and especially Aaron Smith-Levin. What a long strange trip it’s been!

Be like Mark Hamill.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Hi, Susan - here’s an annoyingly positive (stolen) quote.😉
Paraphrasing spiritual teacher Ram Dass, “Whether this is the first day of the Apocalypse or the first day of the Golden Age, the work remains the same…to love each other and ease as much suffering as possible.”
