My daughter is 25, and this is how she sees the future for her generation: dying from preventable diseases, being shot in the street by the government, burning up from an overheated planet, while the billionaire class lives it up in Greenland ("the best place to survive climate change").
I’m going to be very honest and clear.
I am fully preparing myself to die under this new American regime. That’s not to say that it’s the end of the world. It isn’t. But I am almost 50 years old. It will take so long to do anything with this mess that this is the new normal for *me*.

Thanks, Dominique.

Age verification? In elementary school, we had "Pants Day," the one day the girls were allowed to wear pants.
Age verification? I used tokens on the subway and paper transfers on the buses in New York

The world is a horrible mess, the stress from what is happening to my family may kill me, and...
...on a positive note, my daughter made fresh-ginger shortbread cookies that are amazing.
If you are in a position to help my family, I am extremely grateful. Thank you.

When I was in eighth grade in the last century, I started a girls flag football league in the district. That's me, with the lightening reflexes, playing center. 😂⚡

Someone posted a Joan Baez video. I didn't watch it, but seeing the thumbnail, I instantly thought of this Diane Arbus photograph.

My daughter is having a zoom class today for the first time in 5 years. The level of panic she had reminded me how hard those zoom years were for a kid with anxiety. She had zoom trumpet lessons then, too, and more than once her teacher asked if her camera froze. Nope. Just her. Deer in headlights.

When I worked at the Russian Tea Room in college, Elliott Gould did that "when you're a star" thing to me. He didn't grab my crotch, but he did grab me and stick his tongue down my throat. Cloris Leachman pulled him off of me.

A little joy this morning. The cats were watching my daughter make breakfast. I had to take a photo. And of course the tortie is ready for her close up!

Apropos of nothing: When my daughter was little she had a lisp. So I had to guess from context what words she meant. One time, she was sitting on my lap and said, "I'm sinking." So I asked "What are you thinking about?" She replied, "No, I'm Sinking! I'm Sinking!" And fell comically through my legs.

My daughter turned on the tv to play some music on youtube. The cat came running because he thought she was gonna put on a bird live cam.
