This is going to be fab! Come listen in.

Good for anyone standing up to this administration. It sickens me that the people running this country (into the ground) have alienated our allies like this. What a horrific and dangerous precedent. When Putin turns on FauxTUS (and he will), it will be a mighty bad day.

Birthday boy. @awfulcute.bsky.social

They say, "all you need is one 'Yes!'" But the longer I live & #write, #create, #sing, etc., the more I realize that sometimes you have to make your own "Yes!" Don't wait for someone else to give you permission. Do your dream right now. Today. No matter how plurty things get, we have to keep going.

We are in the “find out” phase.

Since when did someone being awake and aware become an insult? I mean honestly, how the heck do people get onboard with this shite? #wakeup #woke

Geodesic done of mirrors.

Speak truth to power and never let them rewrite the facts.

Artists gonna art. What an amazing experience at Luna Luna today. I’ll have much more to show you later. Oh and I love seeing the flicker of the led lights. Most of the time human eyes have trouble with them, but the camera sees. #theshed #lunaluna

Mr Rogers said look for the helpers. but if you're the adult in the room, you can be the helper. So, get & stay prepared. Take CPR/basic first aid classes. Check with your local fire department or the American Red Cross for classes. Learn your evacuation routes. Make & memorize your emergency plan.

Keep making. Keep creating. Keep speaking up. Keep speaking out. But remember. No one will enforce your boundaries for you. Establish and make them like a forcefield. No one gets by unless you let them in. #boundaries

Dawn from the balcony from two directions.

They’re firing the people who would bear witness to the horrors they’re going to inflict on the natural world. They’ll destroy the land to get more oil, coal, whatever. They can’t have rangers there blowing the whistle about it. Anyone who voted for this should be ashamed and do better next time.

My new friends Randy and Mike on the keys at the Oculus. #pianists #musicians

My new friend Titan on the keys at the Oculus. What a great time singing with these fab players.

I love this about NYC. I have two totally different events today, and it turns out they are literally a five-minute walk apart. Nice!

Do something that scares you every day. So, today, I'm heading to meet a brand new friend to sing with a bunch of people I've never met before. This should be a blast (or an implosion - not sure which). I'll report back. #singer #musician #artists

We'll make great art, bad art, entrancing art, inspiring art, gross art–all sorts of #art. But let's make it art that reminds us that all beings deserve love & respect. Let's send the message that we #artists will never shrink away from speaking truth to power. #music #theatre #writers

Yep. And this (and worse) is what we can expect for at least the next four years. Anyone who voted for this should vow to do better next time because wow did you sh*t the bed this time.

I’m supposed to be #writing a short story for another #anthology. But every idea I get has enough nooks and crannies and twists and turns to become a full-length book. Trying super hard to pare this baby down. Can I tell it in 5,000 words? At least I know Gemma, the MC, will get her own series.

Dontcha just love that moment when the short story that’s been eluding you finally comes in for a landing? I’ve been struggling with one for an anthology for weeks! I should finish it this weekend. Whew! I screenshot part of it to see what I can glean. Not much. #writers #shortstories

There’s no kiss like a high school musical theater kiss. That’s Andrew Lippa and me kissing during the pivotal in Kurt Weil’s “Down in the Valley.” Going through old photos on a cold Friday evening is fun. #highschooltheatre #theatrekids #andrewlippa #memorylane

He’s the most pampered, well-fed kitty.* But the instinct never subsides. #cats #zephyrkitten * @awfulcute.bsky.social homemakers their food for Pete’s sake.

Nothing to see here just the dismantling of a once great nation. What the ever-lovin’-f*ck!

This show was outstanding! Review coming soon. Our cast was #linmanuelmiranda #annaleighashford #Hankazaria and #timmeadows some brilliant folks there.

Author and radio personality Kathleen Marple Kalb joined me on the show today. Her story will wow & inspire you. She balances being a successful author, radio anchor, & mom & juggles those balls with great skill and finesse. Her episode is coming soon. #podcast #creativity #writers #mysteries #radio

Surprise, surprise, NOT! He’s a conservative writer/blogger/teacher, and he accused drag queens of grooming kids. Now, he’s been charged with molesting little girls. In bible study class. The #criminal, #hypocritical plurt. #hypocrisy #molester #throwawaythekey www.pnj.com/story/news/c...

Saw Urinetown at New York City Center Encores to review for the podcast. I hear it’s great! More later.

Word to the wise. If some guy starts screaming “f*ck you, you f*cking f*cker!” multiple times, when you’re on the subway, you don’t wait. You don’t belabor the point. You switch cars at the next stop. Our entire car emptied. #nyc #subway

I just did this, and it's super easy. A quick resistance task. #resist #freespeech #criticalthinking

Today’s something good. I love the lacework of snow covered trees.

I was today years old when I realized the icon on the clock app is showing the time *and* the second hand is moving!

I got up and made some art to calm my nerves. I’m trying to eat, drink, sleep and take care of myself. But it is hard when my brain spins out at the state of this country. So, art. #selfcare #makeart

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. What??? This has been nothing but a money grab for them and their dude bros?? Inconceivable.

The founders of the Constitution put checks and balances in for a reason. This plurt lying about it doesn’t change that fact.

Do you have game suggestions? I like games like, The Gang, #Bananagrams, So Clover, Say Anything, and Taboo. I’d like to get a few more easy-to-learn, social games (strategy games are fine but only if they’re pretty easy to figure out how to play) for a monthly game night I’m hosting. #games #gaming

We did the second Your Creative Table Read play recording session this morning. It went great! I edited and prepped the episode already, and it will premiere Friday the 14th. Huge thanks to Julie Brandon, Alan Fessenden, and Lela Olson. #playwright, #actors @tjkt.bsky.social #lelolson. #podcast

This evening I’ll be watching Notorious and Dial M for Murder, and North By Northwest. It’s a Hitch kind of evening. #nfl_off #filmnoir #hitchcock
