What’s up San Diego, I’ll be at That’s What She Said Fest this Sat Mar 1 as supporter and photographer: http://finestcity.vbotickets.com/event/that`s_what_she_said_-_twss_-_festival_block_1/147021 and http://finestcity.vbotickets.com/event/that`s_what_she_said_-_twss_-_festival_block_2/147022

I had a chicken pesto sandwich on Saturday and thought, “Wait a minute, this would be easy to make at home!” So I did, and it was my work lunch for today. A qualified success.

Flower Hat Jelly (Olindias formosus) at the @aquariumpacific.bsky.social They dwell on the sea floor where they capture small fish. I saw these two entangled in their tank, so they’re a hat on a hat. More info: https://www.aquariumofpacific.org/onlinelearningcenter/species/flower_hat_jelly1

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

After #savifest, I went to the Desert Botanical Garden (Phoenix, AZ) to check out the Light Bloom exhibit. Real pretty and super cool displays if light, shadow, and geometric patterns and designs.

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children. We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread. www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-m...

I have subscription fatigue, but this one of most valuable services I’m subscribed. @kagi.com is a Google Search alternative, clean, useful results, no ads, committed to privacy. I know, it feels weird to pay for search, I get it, but it’s worth it and way more useful than Google Search today.

#savifest was such a delight, and such a joy and privilege to be directed by Diana Brown in a bawdy Shakespeare ensemble! What a fantastic ensemble and great accompaniment by Mick Shaffer (check out his music). I highly recommend this improv festival! #improvfest #improv

I do show photography in Los Angeles and beyond, especially improv shows and other shows as well. More coming soon.

SAVI Fest is this weekend in Mesa Arizona! Lots of great improv teams in the line up, and I’ll be performing in the Shakespeare-inspired ensemble on Sunday with these wonderful and hilarious folks, directed by Diana Brown. Tix: https://savifest.com/tickets

I’m angry and sad.

Minor civic duty done.

there's no better way to celebrate the #superbowl than with some superb owl facts!

@improvutopia.bsky.social friends! I love the connections I make because of camp. Camp teacher Elana connected to Joe and got a workshop going at the Improv Collective. Definitely challenged me at times but such a fun workshop. #improv

This is so great, an improv camp for advanced improvisors and those running theaters/communities. @improvutopia.bsky.social is the best. See you there.

Hey Mesa, AZ, I’ll be performing at SAVI Fest Sun Feb 16 with these wonderful folks! Tix: https://savifest.com/tickets #improv #improvfests

It’s such a good reminder that in hard times, it’s still important to allow ourselves joy. Thank you @hodgman.bsky.social and @jessethorn.bsky.social for an amazing live show of @judgejohnhodgman.bsky.social and that important reminder. Lots of laughs from such good people.

Loving my new ebike, rain or shine. Biked to my improv class at Outside In last night while it was misting, and just biked in the rain again this afternoon for errands. I love that I don’t have to use my car for this.

Thank you!

I don’t think this label is very accurate.
