Calah (cockatoo) and I float around the US in a small travel trailer to see pictographs and mounds, to attend Trekkie and Jewish events, to visit Alamo Drafthouses (up to 44), and to see family and friends. 🏏🎺

Arlo and Elmer have been great cat companions this week. Arlo was standoffish, but then spent an afternoon helping me knit. Elmer is very vocal, but I unfortunately do not understand Elmerish.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Q: Just days ago you referred to Trump as a 'despot.' Will you retract?
