I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

I was lucky to talk with Antoni Porowski about his upcoming National Geographic TV series, No Taste Like Home (premiering February 23).

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Forever thanks, my darlin’ New Orleans! Visits with you light my fire.

Visiting my friends AND their animals is my favorite hobby. Say hello to Spooky Marie.

Spectacular StudioBE in New Orleans has so much for local community and culture.

In the past few days, I’ve seen so many map instances correctly naming the Gulf of Mexico that I feel like I’m in the sane United States, instead of… whatever’s been happening lately.

Adorable “troublemaker” Inca tern at the Audubon Aquarium likes to get close to visitors.

New Orleans’ celebrated dog, Scrim, is wise.

Baldwin & Co. is always a required stop for me.

Thanks for the sweet moments, 'tit Rəx!

Using this forever

Hero!

Seems low. We can fix that.

Thank you to @altnps.bsky.social for being on it lately with the reporting. Rangers are heroes.

“Your power is relative, but it is real. And if you do not learn to use it, it will be used, against you, and me, and our children. Change did not begin with you, and it will not end with you, but what you do with your life is an absolutely vital piece of that chain.” - Audre Lorde

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

I can always count on @laviniaspalding.bsky.social to lift me out of my thoughts.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has announced that it is arbitrarily dismissing student and parent complaints arising out of public schools’ documented acts of censorship and discrimination. Our response: Book bans are real. Full statement ➡️ www.ala.org/news/2025/01...

Such a great story from @gastrognome.bsky.social

It made my month to get a postcard from @terrelljstarr.bsky.social

52 years ago, Roe v. Wade secured the reproductive rights women fought for. In 2022, Dobbs overturned it & 22 states restricted our freedoms. 2 days ago, Trump took down reproductiverights.gov. But @reprocaucus.bsky.social will continue to share abortion resources. Your body, your choice!

This attack on free speech comes at the same time that legislators in Texas are proposing bills to make pro-choice websites illegal. I really hope folks are paying attention

Cecile Richards remains forever one of the most inspiring, brilliant women I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. So few of us leave the world better than we found it. She did lifetimes of good. 19thnews.org/2025/01/ceci...

Cleaning out my office and found a stack of handwritten letters and cards from the early days of Covid. Weirdly appropriate today.
