Right? And then, of course, the famous costume-less, prop-less, mud-soaked, in-the-rain version up in Lynnwood. Great summer.
My head is going to explode.
I was about to say, "What does somebody have on these guys?" Then I thought, "Epstein, Epstein, Epstein"
I remember walking the space for Hamlet at Camp Long. That was a great summer.
Don't forget the SERIOUS Daddy issues for both of them.
I am waiting for the moment we all join together in our fury and/or desire for humanity. Honestly.
While I absolutely think we need new blood and new energy in the Democratic party, I'm not sure I like the ageism in the languaging that I see. We have to be careful that the problem is with ideology and not just age.
Dear Democrats -- Just because I donate ONCE does not mean I want to hear from EVERY SINGLE campaign in the country. It honestly keeps me from donating ever. Please STOP.
Oh yes....but the ending...
You are a freaking rockstar.

I was at Stanford when the first Macs came out. I've never never seen a Mac in the 128k version with a tower. They were all self contained.This is the 128k Mac that we all used back in the day.
Change that "S" to a "T" and you have something.
At what turning point are we all going to be all "Bug's Life" and realize that we ALL are being SO screwed -- Republican, Democrat, Progressive, Conservative, apolitical...ALL of us--and join together in one big ant army? Seriously...
This show was awful. It might have been watched....but it wasn't good or believable at all. Real waste of truly good talent.
This actually helps. Not kidding.
Brilliant.
Screaming into the void and preaching to the choir, I know, but our ACA premiums while my husband is between jobs are set to go up from $700 a month (expensive) to $2100 (Insane and impossible) in January if Congress doesn't do anything. Where is that "great NEW plan" they promised?
I honestly can't get over the hat. If ANY other President had worn a hat, much less one that announced that they were right about everything, we would have shipped them off so fast. It's just insane. It's embarrassing. What's next, a little crown?
I remember seeing you back then, so I can say that I completely agree. (And therefore...so do I.)
I am really ready for some of the bad guys to finally pass on. This guy has been spreading awful stuff about children for a long, long time. I hope he's in the midst of a rude awakening.
Next, we're going to be arguing about whether the sky is actuall blue. Down is up, up is down.
Our Seattle girl, Jinkx!!! So proud of the waves she is making.
Not sure I'd announce that even here.
We're lucky to have you in our feeds. I always think you are a freaking delight and ever since the first moment I met you, you make me giggle.
So, by "working stand-up comedian," did he mean that this truly has all been some long-form comedy? Like a great big punchline-less bit? That would make more sense than the dumpster fire we're in now.
Hahaha...Totally true.
Grapes of Wrath wrecked me. I read it on a road trip and was so engrossed that when my husband said, "We need gas," I almost had a panic attack.
It's almost like it's one big last hurrah. But other stuff happens when it stops...So, mixed bag. <3
"This Much I Know is True" by Wally Lamb or "East of Eden" -- Hard to pick.
Hate to tell you but people LOVED that show. Like, LOVED it.
No dishes FOR THREE WEEKS?
That's so shitty. I'm so sorry.
Please...I don't think anyone could sustain the necessary rage every day at the level they need to and be in the same room as all of those Republicans. Give them some grace. They also have to survive mentally AND do the work. You can be at level 10 every single day and get crap done.
I mean, I KNOW...All Kamala's complete sentences?...All those paragraphs of coherent thoughts that all come to a point? I mean..what even is that? *I'm* excited about rambling, incoherent stream-of-consciousness narcissism and bile toward other people. Total lack of empathy is my jam, too.
All it takes is someone who has actual power standing up and doing the right thing. That’s all it takes and yet, somehow…here we are.
And now they're getting rid of Consumer protections that are supposed to guard against this kind of legal robbery. It's theft plain and simple. They offer a service that's completely impossible to use. I'm SO sorry and I'm furious on your behalf. Continue to shred them on socials.
I feel you. My poor 6'6" husband can't catch a break, tho. He also always gets the "full recliner" person in front of him. Those prices for the NEXT level up are just too crazy.
There are wayyy too many "no seat selection" fares. Often they're the first option offered. It's horrid.
I literally realized this morning that his entire agenda is to legislate the opposite of whatever the Democrats want: Clean air? Dirty air. Free speech? Censorship. Equality? Nope. This is an alternate timeline and I want to catch a wormhole and get off.
And Richard Greenberg...I'm so tired of good people dying at young ages. It's almost like evil is a preservative.
If politics are only money...not votes, not ethics, not compassion...then we need to vote with our dollars. Can we stop consuming from companies that have benefited (not all of them, but some)? Can we resist with our money? Is that a language they understand?
Malcolm, we need hope and we need light and we need the kind of monolithic thinking that the other side seems to be able to muster. I just feel crazy to see the hatred winning so profoundly.
Hey! I was super close! I will take that! Not bad for one art history class like 40 years ago!
...who could speak in compelling and complete sentences...who could maintain an argument through an entire paragraph....or pages of paragraphs....[I'm actually going to start crying].
I studied this painting in college and I'm wracking my brain...Goya? Delacroix?
Happy friday
My brain is hurting with wondering how you paint the canoe a color when you've already painted the water/reflection...I don't know how painting works, apparently.
That sounds glamorous and exciting...
Respectfully, it's not about how we treat them, it's about how they act. Obama never acted like a king and the other guy totally is. That's what this day is about.
He denied Arkansas after a bad tornado. A state that supported him.
That stupid billboard was always worth about 50 miles of mental internal outrage dialogue.
Seriously???? That's amazing. Best news EVER. I thought the writer was just spitballing. Totally needed this today.
This is a satire post, unfortunately. It's not actually real...
I've been to Rome three times...never for more than 24 hours at a time. It's like drinking genius from a firehose.
Every day is a good potato salad day.....
Prince Matchabelli....There's a name I haven't heard in a million years.
This is the FIRST book about sleep for alert, intense little ones and it doesn't just tell you to let them cry in a room by themselves. Boom. (also on Audible) www.amazon.com/Why-Wont-You...?
Not bad at all! We should ALL have passports that look that good!
I can hear Bogey's voiceover now....
Haha. Hilarious. I was able to re-open my personal FB page but because I have like one friend on there (i.e., starting from scratch), everyone thinks it's a spam account and they've probably blocked me. This is pushing SO many buttons. Serves me right.
So good to see your face regardless... <3
Not to be a complete bummer...but that one of Dick Van Dyke gets me right in my heart. He reminds me so much of my dad, who passed last week at 83. I may have to buy this issue for that reason.
Epic.
"Lola"
I always loved those and felt they were so graphic. So glad you captured them!
Funny story: I missed my FB community and accidentally made a new Profile when I wanted a new Account. Deleted the profile and made a new account. I got BANNED for VIOLATING community standards with no content, no friends, NOTHING. Just made one new account. BANNED. How poetic.
Check Asch's conformity study. In contexts when there was a fellow non-conformist, the subject didn't conform to the group. Check the Milgram study. In the context with another voice of protest, the subject failed to go all the way with the shocks. Conclusion? Sticking together matters.
I know there are bigger issues, but if you haven't watched "Adolescence," you are missing a tour-de-force of acting and cinematography. Each episode is filmed in a SINGLE shot. The atmosphere that's created...the simplicity..the acting. It's potentially one of the best things I've ever seen.
Any of you watching "Adolescence"? Damn...Another beautifully made British drama -- perfect acting, not one wasted moment and a thirteen-year-old, virtually untested actor that will break your heart and completely stun you with his ability.
Great. Now I have it in my head....Including that last little fillip before it heads off to commercial. How is that still lurking in the files?
A-freaking-men.
I had my little community so well curated that it was really a pretty safe space. I'm just realizing how many folks I'm just sort of cut off from completely now...I miss our Trancos circle. :-)
Instagram is just so overwhelming for me. I have to be on there for business...but wow, sensory overload.
I miss my FB community something awful. I stand by the reason for leaving....but I really, really miss the connection.
Someday I will tell you the story about when my 13-month-old kept saying a version of "firework" loudly at Disneyland.
This ad just came up on Google. Is this where we're going? The company is called Replika. We're living in Blade Runner now.
It was all ha-ha when people were saying that The Handmaid's Tale was non-fiction...but now it's a reality show crossover with The Man in the High Castle. SciFi has become Current Events.
My daughter is there heading up/setting up for Urban Earth! Wish I were there to come see you both!!!
#Anora is one of my top pics so far. (along with #wicked and #conclave)
One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!
There's one lead/actor who at first seems terrible, then in a couple of episodes, she really shines and I was like, "Oh, she was just directed/shot/written/edited really badly. She's actually super talented."
I think it depends on how much they helped you. On shows where there are quick changes, corsets, etc. (which it doesn't sound like you have), it's of course more. (And when you're makin' those big Equity bucks ;-)....
I love her too...but felt like they surrounded her with rookies...or at least actors that were written like rookies? Just me?
Thanks..I probably saw something click-bait-y and meant to increase my already high blood pressure.
I thought it had to match your birth certificate, which is why they were disenfranchising married women who took their husband's name....Ew. I did keep my maiden name as my middle name on some documents. I have to look to see if that's on my passport. I can't believe we're back here either.
Real question: Do we married broads need to start changing our names back to our maiden names like NOW?
Everyone knows about the economic blackout on February 28th, right? Do not buy anything that's not from a small or independent business. I don't know who's in charge of this shindig but it's a darned good idea.
First day in the studio recording the audiobook @liveoakstudio in Berkeley. It was honestly super fun (and all of that acting training? Suuuper handy.) #whywontyousleep
Curious who got to decide what exactly to cut (and maybe they might want to sleep with one eye open).
The remount that's available has a different actor in this role...and...ummm....I couldn't make it through the whole thing because the rest of the show..... What a mess. So sad. So, enjoy this and imagine what could have been if the rest of the show were as good as this song and these three actors.
I have loved this little clip from "Hex" at the National Theatre. This actor, Kat Ronney is really brilliant in her timing and this song is so good. I couldn't wait to see the whole show on NT Live ------ but...
They asked for my feedback...So, I gave it to them.
Hearing from my infant mental health and parenting communities that the anti-DEI ventures have eliminated autism employment efforts and even infant mental health clinician trainings. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are words that we should be striving for...not things we should be afraid of.
☹️
I will not support (as far as I am able) those businesses/corporations who are caving to these inane "because I want to" ideas. This is just the beginning of a slippery slope. Where is their bridge too far going to be?
Duel?
