Just came across this story from the middle of the pandemic lockdown, months after our personal family life was turned upside-down, and in the heat of the summer and uprising/national protests for Black lives.

I know times are shitty and tough when I’m about to open a fortune cookie and I have that feeling like everything’s riding on the message inside.

I feel like Cynthia’s lithe limb riff is now the standard. I wonder if the Broadway Elphabas will use it.

The attack on trans rights in U.S. v. Skrmetti is a Trojan horse. If successful, it weakens sex discrimination protections for everyone. Trans youth are the first targets and have already been impacted all over the country by these attacks. But this case endangers us all.

#USvsSkrmetti isn’t just about trans youth—it’s about whether anyone facing sex-based discrimination will remain protected. If the Court narrows these rights, it puts millions at risk, from Title IX to workplace protections.

It’s important folks understand the Supreme Court’s decision in #USvsSkrmetti could gut sex discrimination protections for everyone. It targets trans youth now, but it threatens decades of progress on equality under the law for women, LGBTQ+ people, and more.

Cynthia Erivo really delivered some of the most powerful cinematic moments I’ve seen in a while. The Ozdust Ballroom scene and the Defying Gravity finale were so deeply moving.

Teige, completely out of the blue, “Daddy, how do you start the World’s biggest rubber-band ball?”
Me, “With one rubber-band.”
I feel like there’s a metaphor in there.

Wow. Linda McMahon for the head of the Department of Education. Discipline will now be handled with no holds barred cage fights.

In nonpolitical news, my friend got me a Roomba for my birthday. We named it Ronald. The girls treat Ronny like a pet, and it’s hilarious. Maya was scolding him for eating a doll blanket.
