Laughing stock of the whole world.

This horrible month just gets worse and worse. This young man lived in my neighborhood. I wish now I had stopped and talked to him. My heart goes out to his family and friends. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

A touching snapshot of what people are going through here (and a reminder to buy a safe!). fb.watch/x7Jyyz-W_b/?...

Air purifiers are impossible to find right now, but you can make one pretty easily out of an air filter, a fan, and a cardboard box!

The fires of Los Angeles came to Hollywood earlier this evening. Thankfully, this fire was brought under control pretty quickly thanks to firefighting helicopters. My husband and I (and are cat) are safe for now.

I'm always hoping for a white Christmas here in LA. I know it's a not very realistic, but here's a scene from 1912 of a block just around the corner from where I live. lamag.com/news/citydig...

A view of Larimer Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My grandfather lived in the shadow of the bell tower when he arrived from Italy in 1900. The photo is from historicpittsburgh.org

Today is National Letter Writing Day! What a perfect day to watch my documentary (it's free on the PBS app)!

Passes for the 2025 Desperado LGBTQ+ Film Festival are now on sale, featuring the phoenix mascot I designed for them!

Voting matters! Democrat Adam Gray flips California House District 13 by 187 votes.

Though the world seems to be careening toward chaos this holiday season, at least we still have chestnuts.

After less than two weeks, I now have more followers on @bsky.app than I got on Twitter in almost 15 years. It's not much, but I'm glad to be at least a small part of the migration away from that hellhole.

Good riddance to Matt Gaetz! Now can we take a moment to celebrate this rather than immediately jumping back into the doom loop?!

Congratulations Matthew! So, exactly how many Scaramuccis was that? Trump math confuses me.

All of this.

49.9% The moment I've been waiting for. Below fifty percent is far from a mandate. Too bad they're still going to govern as if it is.

Got locked out of my Twitter account because I dared to type the words "Blue Sky" in a comment. What a pathetically petty little worm Elon Musk is.

In times of stress, it's important to remember the healing power of music. Get it where you can! This is Orbital, provided a respite for a thousand people or so last night in downtown LA.
