I spoke to a live person, who thanked me for being so informed. Along with the facts, i spoke about how scared I was on Jan. 6 for the safety of all involved and about how we have not healed as a nation and need to shine light on this dark event.

This reminder of what we are capable of has brought me tears this first morning of 2026. Here’s to doing everything I can to support the blooming of life.
What the KENNEDY Center used to be…
Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.

This music has healing powers. Love this version of Tom Petty's "Wildflowers" by the Wailin' Jennys. I saw them live a few months ago, they were SO GOOD!

The Paramount - Skydance merger will be worthless if no one is watching. Independent media is doing to corporate media what independent music did to major labels back in the day. Fuck with the people at your own risk, oligarchs.

IMPORTANT: Before the fascist attack on Senator Alex Padilla, Kristi Noem said that her gestapo in California were staying to "liberate the city socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country."
Don't let that slide by.

Updated my card before the trip. I handed them to folks who expressed or hinted at dismay about the current situation in the US, people seemed to like them. It was a good exercise for me to put thought into what I wanted to express to others.

In answer to Elon Musk:
GM Gilbert was the chief psychologist who interviewed Nazis on trial at Nuremberg.
"I think I've come close to defining evil: a lack of empathy. It's the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy."
